Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. Q3 2026 Earnings Recap

Angel Oak Mortgage REIT fell 12.2% after earnings, with investors likely focused on a sharp reversal to a GAAP loss as rising rates drove valuation losses and pressured book value. Stable credit performance and higher distributable earnings were positives, but net interest income was flat year over year and management said higher rates had compressed returns on new investments.
