Chimera Investment Corporation (US16934Q8024) was trading at USD 9.14 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, at 2:09 p.m. ET, down 1.30 percent from the prior close. The mortgage REIT's latest published capital-return decision keeps its common dividend at USD 0.45 per share for the third quarter of 2026.

Dividend coverage remains central

According to Chimera Investment Corporation in its Q2 2026 earnings material dated August 5, 2026, earnings available for distribution reached USD 0.46 per diluted common share. That figure exceeded the USD 0.45 common dividend for the quarter by USD 0.01 per share.

The same Q2 2026 release reported a GAAP net loss of USD 0.05 per diluted common share, while GAAP book value stood at USD 17.75 per share as of June 30, 2026. The contrast matters because the dividend is supported by the REIT's non-GAAP distribution measure rather than by GAAP earnings alone.
