An average decline of 6% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 98% of them.
Analysts' average target sits 15% above today's price.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit power and business quality lead the class.

Clearly below the class average.
Clearly below the class average.
Financial Strength: The capital buffer looks thin next to its class; less room to absorb a rough stretch.
Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
The stock trades 39% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The net profit margin is 87% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.
It pays out $1.44 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Over the last 4 years, sales fell about 6% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.
The balance sheet offers little cushion against a rough stretch. Report-card grade: 19/100.
Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 26/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.
On our five-subject report card, AGNC sits in the middle of the class: some subjects shine, others don’t. The grade moves as the numbers move.
The takeaway: AGNC is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s what that quality should cost.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
Not covered, because the filings we hold do not carry it: the revenue breakdown.
