Dividend stocks can be an excellent source of passive income, which is why many income investors gravitate toward them. One popular Dividend stock, with an ultra-high yield of 14%, is AGNC Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC).
However, having a high dividend yield doesn't always mean a stock will deliver for your portfolio. Read on to see how AGNC has performed for its investors over the past decade and whether it's right for your portfolio.
AGNC is a real estate investment trust (REIT), which means it isn't subject to federal or state income tax as long as it distributes 90% of its taxable income to shareholders. Because of this tax treatment, REITs tend to deliver big dividend yields to their investors.
