Annaly's EAD has steadily risen over the last nine quarters. That growth has supported two dividend increases.

NLY highlights diversified housing finance growth, with focus on Agency securities, Residential Credit, MSR opportunities and disciplined capital allocation.

Annaly Capital Management is rated a Strong Buy for its 13.38% dividend yield and significant capital appreciation potential by 2030. NLY's diversified REIT model, resilient through multiple economic cycles, benefits from agency MBS, MSR, and residential credit strategies with yields up to 16%. I expect falling interest rates to expand NLY's net interest margin, driving both dividend growth and share price appreciation toward a $40 target by 2030.
