AGNC Pays $0.12 Every Month. Here's How Much You'd Need to Invest to Collect $1,000 a Month.

AGNC, a mortgage REIT, offers a 16% dividend yield ($0.12 monthly per share), requiring a $75,000 investment to generate $1,000 monthly income. However, the stock has declined nearly 15% year-to-date, offsetting dividend gains. The company's business is highly sensitive to interest rates, and with recent Fed rate hikes, AGNC faces headwinds despite maintaining sustainable dividends.
