AGNC Investment Earnings Preview: Revenue Expected to Grow 1,246% Year Over Year

AGNC Investment will report Q2 earnings on Monday, with analysts expecting a 1,246% YoY revenue growth to $274.9 million and adjusted earnings of $0.41 per share. The company missed analysts' revenue expectations by 73.6% last quarter, but a majority of analysts have reconfirmed their estimates. Share prices in the banks segment have risen 10.3% on average over the last month.

AGNC Investment Corp (AGNC) is set to release its second-quarter earnings on July 21st, with analysts expecting a notable decline in earnings. The projected earnings per share (EPS) is $0.41, marking a 22.65% year-over-year drop [1]. This decrease is primarily attributed to the company's strategic shift towards riskier asset portfolios. The revenue forecast stands at $461.81 million, a significant improvement from the previous year [1].

Wall Street analysts have set an average price target of $9.67 for AGNC over the next year, reflecting a potential 4.40% upside from the current stock price of $9.27 [1]. The price targets range from $10.50 to $8.50, offering a spectrum of expectations. The consensus brokerage recommendation stands at 2.2, aligning with an "Outperform" rating [1].

In the past quarter, AGNC's earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with an average negative surprise of 3.27% [2]. The consensus estimate for earnings in the current quarter is 42 cents, a 20.8% decline from the prior-year quarter [2]. Revenue estimates are pegged at $254.2 million, up from negative $3 million in the year-ago quarter [2].

The company's performance is influenced by various factors, including interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which did not significantly lower mortgage rates. Mortgage rates remained in the mid-to-upper 6% range, leading to increased refinancing activities and origination volumes [2]. AGNC's net premium amortization and interest income are expected to rise due to higher prepayment rates and net premium amortization [2].

AGNC's stock has outperformed industry peers such as Annaly Capital Management and Arbor Realty Trust in the second quarter of 2025. The company's valuation is currently trading at 1.08X forward 12 months price/tangible book TTM (P/TB TTM), above the industry's average of 0.98X [2]. AGNC's dividend yield is 15.47%, compared to the industry average of 11.8% [2].

Investors should closely monitor AGNC's upcoming earnings release and market volatility before making investment decisions. The company's premium valuation and potential future changes in the yield curve and financial conditions warrant caution.
