MFA Financial is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a real estate investment trust that invests in and finances residential mortgage assets. Co.'s investments include principally the following: residential whole loans, including purchased performing loans, purchased credit deteriorated and purchased non-performing loans, and through certain of its subsidiaries, Co. also originates and services business purpose loans for real estate investors; residential mortgage securities, including credit risk transfer securities; and mortgage servicing rights (MSR) related assets, which include term notes backed directly or indirectly by MSRs. The MFA stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the MFA stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2023 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 MFA annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
