Frequently asked questions

• Does MFA Financial pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield

  Dividend yield: 15.07% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 15.17% of stock value

  MFA Financial has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 15.07% of its share value annually.

  MFA Financial has paid out, on average, around 131.19% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 15.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 15.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MFA Financial's case, that would currently equate to about 1.43 per share.

  MFA Financial's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

  MFA Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 30 October 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 29 September 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

• Have MFA Financial's shares ever split?

  MFA Financial's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 4 April 2022. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share.

However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for MFA Financial shares which in turn could have impacted MFA Financial's share price.
