Federal Agricultural Mortgage provides a secondary market for a range of loans in rural America. Co.'s lines of business are: Farm & Ranch, which purchases eligible mortgage loans secured by first liens on agricultural real estate; U.S. Department of Agriculture Guarantees, which purchases the portions of certain agricultural, rural development, business and industry, and community facilities loans; Rural Utilities, which purchases of, and guarantees of securities backed by, eligible rural utilities loans; and Institutional Credit, which purchases or guarantees general obligations of lenders that are secured by pools of the types of loans eligible for purchase under its lines of business. The AGM.A stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the AGM.A stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2015 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the AGM.A annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
