Expert Statements

David Finkelstein, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Chief Investment Officer of Annaly Capital Management

“While the third quarter of 2026 was a challenging period for fixed income markets, which we were not immune to, we entered the quarter prepared for the volatility. Our cycle-low leverage and minimal duration exposure provided us with the flexibility to actively manage our portfolio while continuing to make attractive investments across our three strategies,”

“Meanwhile, Annaly generated EAD of $0.80 per share, once again exceeding the common stock dividend and underscoring the durable earnings power of our platform.”

We continue to see ample investment opportunities across each of our three strategies and we believe Annaly’s deep capital base, differentiated operating capabilities and active portfolio management position us well to deploy capital and generate compelling risk-adjusted returns.”
