AGNC Investment Corp. Stock News

I love passive income machines, pouring steady and reliable cash into my account. Every month, I collect income and use it to grow my portfolio or pay expenses. The market is turbulent; I benefit from every swing to grow my income stream.

AGNC Investment (AGNC 0.94%) has one of the highest dividend yields in the market, sitting at about 16%. But with a stock price that's steadily declined the past few years, investors are right to ask: Is the payout sustainable, and more importantly, is the stock a buy today?

My yield-based 'dogcatcher' strategy spotlights high-yield stocks whose dividends from $1,000 invested exceed their share price, favoring underdogs for income growth.

The big draw with AGNC Investment (AGNC -0.39%) is its almost-too-good-to-believe 15%+ dividend yield. Don't get overly excited, however.

If you were to invest $25,000 into each of the stocks below, you could earn an additional $8,665 this year.

Big dividends sound great, but how about big losses? Since Q2 2025 began, book values got smacked. Not talking about share prices. You can tell if the share price declined (hopefully). That would be a worthless article. One of these high-yield sectors has been doing much better than the others.
