EFC August Book Value Estimated at ﹩13.62

View the EFC Dividend Stock Profile

Ellington Financial said on September 24, 2026, that it estimated book value at ﹩13.62 per common share as of August 31.

The estimate includes the effect of the previously announced ﹩0.13 monthly dividend payable September 30 to holders of record on August 31. EFC reported book value of ﹩13.61 per common share at June 30, so the August estimate was essentially unchanged from the latest reported quarter-end figure.

Why it matters

Book value is supporting evidence for mortgage REIT balance-sheet risk and earning capacity. Holding near the June level after distributions is modestly positive, but it does not by itself establish dividend coverage because book value includes market-value changes and other items besides recurring earnings.

The company cautioned that the August figure remains an estimate and could change when month-end and quarter-end valuation work is completed. The September 30 financial statements will provide the firmer test.
