Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Annaly will report Q4 results Jan. 28, with net interest income expected to rise sharply year over year.
NLY's earnings are expected to be unchanged year over year despite higher refinancing activity.
Annaly may benefit from improved book value and higher servicing income due to tighter MBS spreads.
Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NLY - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2025 results on Jan. 28, after market close. The company’s net interest income (NII) is expected to reflect year-over-year increases in the quarter to be reported, while earnings are anticipated to remain unchanged.
In the last reported quarter, the mortgage real estate investment trust’s (mREIT) earnings available for distribution per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company’s average yield on interest-earning assets improved. However, the company recorded a year-over-year decline in book value per share.

Annaly has a decent earnings surprise history. Its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 2.91%.
Annaly Capital Management Inc Price and EPS Surprise
Let us see how things have shaped up before the fourth-quarter earnings announcement.
The consensus estimate for fourth-quarter NII is pegged at $469 million, suggesting a rise from the year-ago quarter’s reported NII of $187.3 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has been unchanged at 72 cents over the past seven days. The metric indicates no change from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
Factors to Shape NLY’s Q4 Performance
The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates twice in the fourth quarter. As such, mortgage rates come down meaningfully from the start of the year. Hence, refinancing activities and origination volumes witnessed decent growth.
Amid this, a significant portion of NLY’s MBS holdings is anticipated to have witnessed elevated levels of constant prepayment rate. This is expected to have positively impacted net premium amortization in the fourth quarter, thereby supporting growth in interest income and average asset yield.
Agency MBS spreads tightened sharply in the fourth quarter, given lower interest rate volatility. As such, Annaly is likely to have seen some improvement in its book value per share in the quarter to be reported.
Given slower prepayment speeds in the fourth quarter, the company’s mortgage servicing rights portfolio is likely to have been impacted positively to some extent. This is anticipated to have increased NLY's servicing fees in the quarter to be reported.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net servicing income of $137.4 million indicates a year-over-year rise of 18.9%.
