ARMOUR Residential REIT Confirms July 2025 Common, Preferred Dividends

ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. has confirmed its July 2025 cash dividend for common stock at $0.24 per share, maintaining consistency with previous guidance and demonstrating stability in shareholder returns. The company also announced a monthly cash dividend rate of approximately $0.1458 per share for its Series C Preferred Stock for the third quarter of 2025, with payments scheduled for July, August, and September. ARMOUR continues to operate as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), ensuring tax advantages by distributing substantially all ordinary REIT taxable income to shareholders. The company primarily invests in government-backed fixed rate and adjustable rate residential mortgage-backed securities, positioning it as a relatively low-risk investment in the real estate sector. Despite maintaining dividend payouts, analysts note challenges including operational inefficiencies, market volatility, and a negative P/E ratio, which temper growth prospects and contribute to a neutral analyst rating. Dividend decisions remain subject to the discretion of ARMOUR's Board, considering financial conditions, cash flows, and market factors.
