Dynex Capital (DX) Stock

Dynex Capital Inc.'s forward dividend yield and a changing U.S. inflation outlook make a strong case for a tactical opportunity. Shifting to specified pools to secure certainty might de-risk the vehicle. Additionally, a more desirable short-term liquidity market fuels an upbeat argument. Dynex's common stock trades below book value, and its preferred stock doesn't seem overly demanding, reducing the risk of Dynex's common shares being 'toxic waste.'

Dynex Capital Series C preferred stock offers a compelling income opportunity with a 6.9% stripped yield, stepping up to 9.7% if not redeemed by Apr-2025. The stock benefits from a nearly 100% Agency MBS portfolio and a 9.2x equity/preferreds coverage, making it a lower-risk, high-yield investment. DX's proactive risk management and equity issuance behavior enhance preferreds' safety, outperforming common shares with lower volatility.

As a retired income investor, I focus on high-yield distributions, particularly from REITs, which offer diversification and inflation hedging but are sensitive to interest rates. Despite the real estate sector's poor performance over the past three years, Dynex Capital is now a compelling buy due to its strong Q3 earnings, increased dividend, and strategic positioning. Dynex's Q3 results show improved performance, with increased book value, reduced leverage, and higher comprehensive income, driven by strategic capital management and favorable market conditions.

DX-C is a top pick among mortgage REIT preferred shares, offering lower risk due to Dynex Capital's strong management and high common equity to preferred liquidation ratio. The current stripped price of DX-C is just over $25.00, with a yield of 6.89%, but it will switch to a floating rate in 2025. Investors should consider DX-C for its relatively low-risk profile and potential for higher yields post-2025, despite the current modest yield.
