# Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Real Estate / Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Price $11.64, market value $974 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Chimera Investment Corporation reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.10**. A PEG of 0.10 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / book: 0.4×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: 9.0%**. 9.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 56.4%** (5-yr 52.3%/yr). Earnings per share rose 56.4%.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.10**. Debt is 0.10 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Piotroski F-score: 2/9**. 2 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 15.46%** ($1.64 per share, trailing). Chimera Investment Corporation yields 15.46%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
