The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net interest income (“NII”) is pegged at $270 million, whereas AGNC Investment reported negative NII of $64 million in the year-ago quarter.
Factors to Impact AGNC’s Q3 Performance
Despite the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts in September 2025, mortgage rates did not decrease significantly. In the third quarter, mortgage rates fluctuated, but they remained range-bound. As such, refinancing activities and origination volumes witnessed some improvement.
Amid this, a large part of AGNC Investment’s mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) holdings is anticipated to have witnessed decent levels of constant prepayment rates. This is expected to have positively impacted AGNC’s net premium amortization in the third quarter, in turn, supporting growth in interest income and average asset yield. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for interest income is pegged at $903.5 million, indicating a rise of 19.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
Fixed income volatility has declined during the third quarter. This persistent downtrend in rate volatility is likely to have supported tighter mortgage spreads and stronger book value performance for AGNC during the quarter. Also, with the Fed rate cuts, banks and foreign investors have reemerged as marginal buyers of agency MBS, providing further demand support and potential book value upside for AGNC. These favorable factors are likely to have supported the company’s gain-on-sale margin during the third quarter.
