• ATM Program Expanded by 25M Shares

  Amendment No. 8 to the Equity Sales Agreement adds 25,000,000 shares to the at-the-market offering program, bringing the total available under the Amended Sales Agreement to 25,544,352 shares.

• Authorized Common Shares Increased to 250M

  Articles of Amendment filed July 23, 2026 increase authorized common stock from 175,000,000 to 250,000,000 shares, a 75M share increase that provides headroom for the ATM program and future equity issuance.

• Dilution Overhang Intensifies

  The ATM expansion and authorized share increase follow a pattern of frequent equity sales; the latest 10-Q showed book value per share declining due to heavy ATM usage, and this move signals continued dilution ahead.

• Timing Follows Strong Q2 Earnings

  The expansion comes just two days after Armour reported a return to profitability in Q2 2026 with $111.5M in net income, suggesting the company is leveraging improved sentiment to raise capital.

In a move that signals continued reliance on equity issuance, Armour Residential REIT is expanding its at-the-market offering program by another 25 million shares. More critically, the company amended its charter to boost authorized common shares from 175 million to 250 million—a 75 million share increase that creates the necessary headroom for this and future ATM sales. This fits a pattern of frequent ATM expansions and heavy dilution: the company has been steadily selling shares to fund its mortgage portfolio, and the latest 10-Q revealed a decline in book value per share driven by those sales. By raising the authorized share count, management is telegraphing its intention to keep tapping the ATM, which will weigh on existing shareholders. The decision comes just two days after a strong return to profitability in Q2 2026, suggesting the company is capitalizing on improved sentiment to raise equity.
