- Pays: monthly since January 2026 — $0.12 per share, totaling $0.36 per quarter.
- The cadence switch: paid quarterly from 2009 through 2025 (last quarterly payment $0.36, raised from $0.34 in December 2025), then converted to $0.12 monthly with the quarterly total unchanged.
- The reverse split: 1-for-10, effective June 2022 — the chart's split disclosure applies; earlier per-share dividends are restated in today's share terms.
- What it is: an agency-focused mortgage REIT — $8.2B of agency RMBS, TBAs and agency CMBS at mid-2026 — with no meaningful credit exposure.
- The machinery: debt-to-equity 6.3x (economic leverage 7.5x); book value per share $8.72 (end 2025) → $8.08 → $8.03 (mid-2026). History of deep cuts.
IVR's earnings available for distribution (about $0.50 per quarter recently) have exceeded the $0.36 quarterly payout, but the strategy remains very high leverage on agency bonds with a record that includes deep cuts and a 1-for-10 reverse split. The monthly cadence is packaging; the risk is the same.
IVR pays monthly since 2026 (quarterly before). Each point below is one dividend since 2009, split-adjusted — note the switch to smaller, more frequent payments at the right edge: same quarterly money, three slices.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $1.66 per share across 10 payments — up 12% from $1.48 in the 12 months before (split-adjusted, in today's share terms). What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $1.56 — 6% below the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →
- Share price, same 12 months: down 10% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Dividend / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from IVR's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.
A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.
The 2026 move to monthly payments makes IVR's chart look like it shrank — three $0.12 checks replaced one $0.36 check. The year-by-year table tells the truth: the quarterly total is unchanged, and 2025 actually saw a small raise. What hasn't changed is the structure underneath: roughly 7x leverage on agency mortgage bonds, a book value that has drifted lower, and a history that includes a 1-for-10 reverse split.

When Is IVR's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
IVR pays monthly (quarterly before 2026). The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from IVR's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Seventeen Years, a 1-for-10 Split, and a New Rhythm
Invesco Mortgage Capital has paid since 2009. The split-adjusted chart shows the 2020-22 collapse that forced the reverse split, a stabilization after, and the 2026 conversion to monthly checks. Read the year-by-year table for the actual trend — the cadence change alone makes recent points look small.
Leverage Is the Whole Story
With credit risk mostly removed from the book, IVR is close to a pure bet on agency mortgage spreads, amplified roughly sevenfold. That amplification is what produced both the deep cuts of the past and the comfortable earnings coverage of 2025-26. Monthly payments don't change the physics; they only change how often you see the result.
Where IVR Fits
As a high-leverage agency vehicle for investors with a view on mortgage spreads — and, with monthly payments, a newly convenient one. For the steadier expressions of the same trade, see AGNC and DX. Next expected date on the live calendar.
