Annaly Capital Management (NLY) is down 5.3% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement. ([annaly.com](https://www.annaly.com/news-insights/press-releases/2026/09-09-2026-211522624?utm_source=openai))
Analysis: The most likely catalyst is that NLY is trading ex-dividend on September 30, 2026, which means new buyers no longer receive the company’s $0.75 quarterly payout. That kind of calendar-driven drop is common for high-yield mortgage REITs, and the move may have been amplified by ongoing sensitivity to interest rates, funding costs, and mortgage spread volatility.
