Stock Pulse
Armour Residential REIT (ARR) experienced a 14% share price drop despite announcing its monthly dividend for Series C Preferred Stock and guiding for a $0.24/share common stock dividend for April 2025 [1]. This reflects broader market volatility and negativity impacting the mortgage REIT sector. While ARR projects substantial annual revenue growth (70.9%) and analysts see potential share price upside (41.3%) [1], its total return declined 12.45% over the past year, underperforming the market [1]. The company maintains its commitment to dividend payouts, confirming its Q2 2025 preferred stock dividend [2] and highlighting its focus on mortgage-backed securities. Despite being identified as a high-yield dividend stock [3], ARR's potential is questioned compared to other opportunities [3]. Zacks Equity Research considered ARR undervalued based on key financial metrics [8]. A director also increased his stock holdings [11].
