Armour Residential Posts $83.7M Q3 Net Interest Income, $102.3M Distributable Earnings
ARR is trading near its 52-week low of $12.275 (4.8% above the low).
Summary
Armour reported Q3 net interest income of $83.7 million and distributable earnings of $102.3 million, but the quarter came in as a loss as mortgage spreads widened. The headline gives no per-share figure, no book value update, and no comparison to prior quarters, so the market has to wait for the full release to judge whether spreads held up after Q2's wider-margin quarter. The stock sits near its 52-week low at $12.87, so the key question is whether distributable earnings comfortably cover the $0.24 monthly dividend — roughly $0.72 a quarter — and whether book value per share stabilized after heavy ATM issuance diluted it in Q2. The company expanded its ATM by 25 million shares in July and has been selling stock steadily, so any book value erosion in this print would hit an already depressed share price. Full financials and the monthly portfolio update will carry the per-share and book value detail the brief lacks.
