Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) deserves a place on your watchlist. But before jumping at the opportunity to lock in its double-digit dividend yield, there are five things Chimera’s executives want you to know.

Dividends will remain stable
Anyone familiar with Chimera knows its biggest appeal from an investor’s perspective is its double-digit dividend yield. Over the last 12 months, the company has paid out $1.92 per share. At recently’s share price that equates to a 12.8% yield, or roughly six times that of the S&P 500.

REITs are slashing their dividends left and right nowadays, so on the latest conference call, the executives at Chimera made a point of reassuring investors that it wouldn’t be following suit anytime soon — or, at least, not in 2015. According to president and CEO Matthew Lambiase:

On March 17, Chimera’s Board of Directors declared a one-for-five reverse stock split and declared $0.48 per share dividend, which was a 6.7% enhance over prior year period. They also give guidance that we will pay dividends of $0.48 per share for each quarter for the remainder of 2015.

Chimera Investment Corporation operates as a real estate investment trust in the United States. The company, through its auxiliaries, invests in residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, real estate-related securities, and various other asset classes. Its targeted asset classes comprise non-agency RMBS, such as investment-grade and non-investment grade classes; agency RMBS; interest-only RMBS; and first or second lien loans secured by multifamily properties, mixed residential or other commercial properties, retail properties, office properties, and industrial properties.
