Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Chimera Investment Corporation trades at $9.67, which is 181% below the $27.13 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a valuation model is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.
Our moat model scores it 34 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

Common questions
Is Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $27.13, CIM at $9.67 is 181% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own CIM?
6 of the institutions we track reported a position in CIM in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
Does Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) pay a dividend?
Yes. Chimera Investment Corporation yields 13.01% at the current share price. It has paid $1.27 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 19 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
