    • Alongside these results, Dynex expanded its at-the-market equity program and highlighted strong total shareholder returns for 2025, underscoring how capital raising and leadership changes are supporting a larger mortgage-backed securities platform.
    • With the company’s recent returns roughly flat over the past week, we’ll examine how its leadership reshuffle influences Dynex Capital’s investment narrative.

    What Is Dynex Capital's Investment Narrative?

    To own Dynex Capital, you need to be comfortable with a mortgage REIT that leans heavily on its ability to raise equity, scale its agency MBS book and manage interest rate and spread volatility through an increasingly new leadership team. The latest quarter delivered solid net income and a healthy 2025 total return, but also an earnings miss versus expectations, reminding investors that funding costs and operating expenses remain key short term swing factors. The expanded at the market program adds flexibility to keep growing the platform, while also keeping dilution risk firmly on the table. The appointment of Meakin Bennett as COO and a clearer separation of CFO responsibilities should help execution rather than change the story, and recent, fairly muted price action suggests the market views these updates as incremental, not transformative.

    However, the very tool that fuels Dynex’s growth could also pressure existing shareholders if conditions shift. Dynex Capital's shares are on the way up, but they could be overextended by 38%. Uncover the fair value now.
