Ellington Financial Inc.
Ellington Financial shows moderate positive price momentum within its 52-week range supported by multiple bullish technical signals and a neutral-to-firm RSI. Fundamentally, the company combines positive net income and EPS growth with double-digit net margins but faces negative operating cash flow and high long-term debt. Short interest metrics indicate elevated short activity in daily trading alongside only moderate overall short positioning, suggesting a mixed sentiment backdrop.

Delphi Doubles Down on Ellington Financial Stake with $8.7 Million Buy
Delphi Financial Group increased its stake in Ellington Financial by 686,639 shares worth $8.73 million in Q1 2026, raising the position to 7.53% of its portfolio. The move reflects confidence in Ellington's strong Q1 earnings, consistent monthly dividends since 2010, and recent cost-reduction efforts through preferred share redemption.
Delphi's increased investment signals confidence in Ellington's fundamentals. The company reported record Q1 2026 earnings, maintains consistent monthly dividends since 2010, and recently reduced financing costs by redeeming expensive preferred shares. However, the stock has underperformed the S&P 500 by 24.83 percentage points over the past year, indicating some market headwinds.

4 REITs Offering Monthly Dividends With Yields Up to 11.7%
The article examines four monthly-dividend-paying REITs with yields between 5% and 11.7%, positioning them as alternatives to traditional quarterly dividend stocks. While monthly payouts offer more frequent income and compounding benefits, the author cautions that principal preservation requires careful stock selection. The featured REITs face mixed outlooks: Realty Income offers stability but limited growth, SL Green faces leverage concerns, Apple Hospitality shows value but dividend growth has stalled, and Ellington Financial offers high yields but with elevated payout ratios.
Offers the highest yield at nearly 12% with potential for continued gains if the Fed cuts rates further in 2026. Benefits from lower long-term mortgage rates and potential GSE reform. However, the elevated payout ratio at 86% of EPS leaves limited margin for safety, and the recent secondary offering dilutes existing shareholders.
