1 of 6 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-19 | Bell Bernice | EVP, CFO | 15,000 | $166K | 3.7% | No | Routine (sold in Aug each year 2023–2025) |
| 2026-07-28 | Bell Bernice | EVP, CFO | 5,000 | $55K | 1.2% | No | Routine (sold in Aug each year 2023–2025; this trade is outside those months) |

% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

AGNC company outlook (results filed Oct 19, 2026)
- “Consistent with this material underperformance of our underlying asset class, AGNC's economic return on tangible common equity in the third quarter was -12.7%. "Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, there are a number of reasons for optimism with respect to the outlook for Agency MBS once volatility in the Treasury market subsides.”
- “CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATES The Company's weighted average projected CPR for the remaining life of its Agency securities held as of September 30, 2026 decreased to 6.7% from 8.6% as of June 30, 2026.”
- “The Company's investment portfolio generated a net premium amortization benefit of $34 million, or $0.03 per common share, for the third quarter, which includes a "catch-up" premium amortization benefit of $66 million, or $0.05 per common share, due to changes in the Company's CPR projections for certain securities acquired prior to the third quarter.”
- “The implied funding cost/benefit of TBA dollar roll transactions is determined using the "price drop" (Note 5) and market-based assumptions regarding the "cheapest-to-deliver" collateral that can be delivered to satisfy the TBA contract, such as the anticipated collateral's weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity and projected 1-month CPR.”
