Broken: Primary pillar broken — Cash from operating activities improves to at least $12 million: Q2 OCF not reported vs 12M target; Q1 OCF 12.6M.
Cherry Hill Mortgage is improving cash flow from operations, reaching $12.6 million in 2026-Q1. It maintains a steady dividend payout of $0.10 per share. Earnings per share are expected to rise to $0.57 in 2026. The company is managing to stabilize despite market headwinds.
Net income has declined sharply, from $7.86 million in 2025-Q4 to $0.43 million in 2026-Q1. Revenue is expected to shrink by over 60% next year. The sector faces headwinds and the stock price has fallen nearly 16% from its high.
The market prices in a 61% revenue decline and a 52% discount to fair value. Our view aligns with the expected revenue drop but sees potential for cash flow improvement and dividend stability.
Breaks if: cash from operating activities falls below $10 million next quarter
Breaks if: dividend per share falls below $0.10 in 2026-Q4
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a speculative growth scenario. The current thesis state is weakened, with recent performance showing a decline in quality and momentum.
The market seems to expect a justified valuation, but it is currently priced at a premium compared to peers. There is a negative expectations gap, indicating that investors may be cautious about future performance.
Fundamentals are showing mixed results. While management is on track to maintain dividends and improve cash flow, the overall financial performance has been weak, with a notable risk of missing future earnings expectations.
The future of CHMI hinges on several factors. Key triggers include guidance updates from management, potential interest rate cuts from the Fed, and the performance of sector peers like AGNC and DX.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Company momentum fell by 21.8 points (from 34.4 to 12.6).
Confidence changed from 'medium' to 'high'.
Yes, our read has weakened. The reason to own CHMI has diminished due to recent financial performance. It fell from the robust half to the weak half of its sector. Additionally, a downgrade from Citizens may hinder the merger with TPG Mortgage Investment Trust.
