Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on American Capital Agency & Chimera Investment Corp
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/16/12 -- Dividend payments throughout Wall Street are expected to skyrocket in the coming months according to a research note from Standard & Poor's. With annual reports being printed and shareholder meetings coming up, Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at Standard & Poor's Indices believes that dividend payments could post a double-digit increase during the mid-January through February season, setting a new record for the S&P 500. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for diversified REITs and provides investment research on American Capital Agency Corporation (NASDAQ: AGNC) and Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM).

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) pay some of the largest dividends on Wall Street, which is by design. To be a REIT, a company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income to shareholders annually in the form of dividends.
REIT earnings could be in for a haircut, however. Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser argues that the U.S. Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates before the middle of 2013, despite the central bank's repeated forecasts that it expected to keep rates ultra-low until at least then.

Mortgage REITs (mREITs) invest in mortgages rather than buildings, for example. Most mREITS do so mostly with borrowed money. As reported on CNN Money, mREITs make their money off the difference between their borrowing costs and the yield on their portfolio. "Unlike banks in recent years, they've performed well: The Dow Jones U.S. Mortgage REITs index has a three-year average annual return of 19%," John Birger, contributor at CNN Money reports.
Presently American Capital Agency pays an annual dividend of $5.60 per share for an impressive yield of nearly 20 percent. Chimera Investment Corporation pays an annual dividend of 44 cents for a yield of around 16.7 percent.
