Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CHMI

10/02/2026: CHMI (2-star) is a SELL. SELL for 1 day. Simulated Profits (-1.86%). Updated daily EoD!

Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corp is a real estate investment trust focused on residential mortgage-backed securities and mortgage servicing rights. The company benefits from a specialized approach to income generation, using its MSR portfolio as a hedge against broader interest rate fluctuations. Its primary investment story revolves around navigating the complex residential mortgage market to provide consistent dividend yields to shareholders. However, the company faces significant risks from interest rate volatility, the inherent limitations of an externally managed structure, and stiff competition from larger, better-capitalized peers. CHMI may suit income-focused investors comfortable with high volatility, who should carefully monitor interest rate trends and quarterly book value adjustments.

Investor Fit

Investor styleFitWhy
Growth investorWeak fitThe company's business model is primarily focused on income generation through dividends rather than rapid capital appreciation.
Momentum investorWeak fitThe stock lacks the consistent trend-following characteristics preferred by momentum strategies due to its sensitivity to macroeconomic factors.
Value investorMixed fitValue investors may look at the stock based on its book value, but the complexity of valuation in mREITs requires careful analysis.
Dividend investorStrong fit while signal remains positiveThe REIT structure is specifically designed to distribute high levels of income, making it potentially attractive for income-focused portfolios.
Low-risk investorWeak fitThe inherent volatility of mortgage markets and interest rates makes this stock inappropriate for low-risk, capital-preservation strategies.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CHMI receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CHMI has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong revenue growth (+204.8%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-43.0%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -4.5%), soft profitability (net margin 6.5%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CHMI's financial health is supported by solid profitability, including gross margin of 91.2% and operating margin of 55.9%. Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is CHMI's strongest growth driver at +204.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-43.0%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (+0.0%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 16.9% (soft) and 98.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership of 1.44% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Summit Financial LLC 2.76%
TPG GP A, LLC 1.99%
Renaissance Technologies Corp 1.52%
BlackRock Inc 1.29%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CHMI generates approximately $912 of gross profit, $559 of operating income, and $-45 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins and weak cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 24.04%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CHMI has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
