Summary

Orchid Island Capital disclosed preliminary Q2 2026 results showing solid performance for the mortgage REIT. Book value per share increased $0.14 to $7.22, while net income of $0.44 per share exceeded the $0.30 quarterly dividend, resulting in a 6.2% total return on equity for the quarter.

Approximately 41% of the net income ($0.18 per share) came from mark-to-market gains on the company's RMBS holdings and interest rate hedges rather than core operating income. The company maintained its leveraged agency RMBS strategy with $11.5 billion in mortgage assets funded by $11.1 billion in repo borrowings.

The 146-basis-point spread between the portfolio's 5.52% weighted average coupon and the 3.77% borrowing cost provides the core net interest margin. The company hedged interest rate risk with $10.1 billion notional in swaps, futures, swaptions, and TBA shorts. All figures are preliminary and subject to auditor review before the formal 10-Q filing.
