Chimera Investment Corporation stock (ISIN US16934Q8024) fell 1.17 percent to USD 9.26 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, with volume of 1,773,820 shares. The company has kept its common dividend at USD 0.45 per share for the third quarter, according to Business Wire on September 17, 2026.
Price sits below yearly high
The October 2 price was USD 0.11 below the previous close of USD 9.37. At USD 9.26, the stock stood 34.70 percent below its 52-week high of USD 14.18 and USD 0.13 above its 52-week low of USD 9.13.
Chimera's market capitalization was USD 774.6 million on October 2, 2026. The combination of a sub-USD 1 billion equity value and a USD 16.0 billion asset base places the company firmly in the leveraged mortgage REIT segment.
Q2 distribution earnings declined
For Q2 2026, earnings available for distribution were USD 0.46 per diluted common share, down from USD 0.54 in Q1 2026. Chimera Investment Corporation reported GAAP diluted EPS of negative USD 0.05 for Q2, compared with negative USD 0.78 in Q1.
The latest company figures also show USD 17.75 in GAAP book value per common share and USD 70.509 million in Q2 net interest income. Net interest income was USD 75.002 million in Q1, leaving the second-quarter figure USD 4.493 million lower.
Dividend coverage remains central
The USD 0.46 Q2 distribution figure exceeded the USD 0.45 common dividend by USD 0.01 per share. The company said the payment is scheduled for October 30, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2026, according to Business Wire.
That coverage margin is narrow, making earnings available for distribution more relevant than the GAAP loss for income-oriented shareholders. Chimera's portfolio included 35 percent Agency RMBS and 52 percent securitized loans at June 30, 2026, according to Chimera Investment Corporation.
