Invesco Mortgage Capital posts Q3 loss as book value falls 16% and leverage rises

Invesco Mortgage Capital reported a net loss of $0.92 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, down from a $0.34 profit in the prior quarter. Book value per share dropped 16.1% to $6.74 and the debt‑to‑equity ratio rose to 7.6 x. The firm’s economic return was –11.6%, while earnings available for distribution fell to $0.47 per share. Management said the portfolio of $8 billion, now 83% Agency RMBS, remains attractive and the outlook for Agency RMBS and CMBS is constructive despite higher leverage.

The lower book value and higher leverage could pressure the company’s NAV and dividend sustainability, which the CEO noted as a focus for the coming quarter. The firm’s constructive outlook for Agency RMBS and CMBS may support future earnings growth.
