Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CHMI

11/03/2026: CHMI (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corp is a residential mortgage REIT that generates income by investing in mortgage-backed securities and mortgage servicing rights. The company's core strength lies in its diversified asset approach, which attempts to hedge interest rate risk by balancing RMBS and MSR portfolios. While this strategy offers an income opportunity for dividend-focused investors, it remains highly sensitive to interest rate volatility and market liquidity. Key risks include the company's significant use of leverage, competitive pressures from larger mREIT peers, and the inherent volatility of the mortgage market. Investors should monitor interest rate trends and management's effectiveness in adjusting portfolio leverage and hedging 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 17.9% (soft) and 98.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership of 2.37% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
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, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
