How AGNC's dividend compares
Across the 714 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 4.23%. AGNC's 16.09% is 11.86 percentage points above that median, ranking 126th of 714 by yield.
Within Real Estate, where we track 73 names, the median yield is 6.70% — putting AGNC above its sector. A yield well above the sector norm is worth a second look: it can signal a depressed share price rather than a generous payout.
Its 8-year run of dividend increases ranks 163rd out of the 363 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
AGNC pays out roughly 72% of its earnings as dividends. That is on the higher side — still common for utilities and consumer staples, but it leaves less cushion if earnings dip.
AGNC pays monthly, which suits investors who want dividend income to line up with monthly living expenses rather than arriving in quarterly lumps.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of company pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
