About Chimera Investment Corporation

Chimera helps people buy homes by investing in residential mortgages. It manages a wide range of home loans and investment securities. The company also creates new loans through its own lending division.

What is in the Portfolio?

  • Residential Mortgage Loans: Portfolios of seasoned home loans and business purpose loans; comprised 65% of the investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025.
  • Agency MBS: Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) backed by loans and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises; represented 23% of the investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025.
  • Residential Origination: Loan production business that creates new mortgages for borrowers who do not meet traditional bank standards.
  • Non-Agency RMBS: Private residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) backed by loan pools without government guarantees; made up 5% of the investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025.
  • Mortgage Servicing Rights: Rights to collect payments and manage home loans in exchange for fees; accounted for less than 1% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2025.

Recent Growth and Moves

  • Acquired HomeXpress Mortgage Corp. on October 1, 2025, for $272 million to expand into direct loan creation.
  • Completed three new securitizations in 2025, which are transactions that package individual home loans into new investment securities.
  • Entered the market for mortgage servicing rights in 2025 to help balance the company against interest rate changes.

Standing Out from Competitors

Chimera operates as an integrated platform that both creates and manages mortgage assets. This structure allows the company to source loans directly while maintaining a diverse mix of government-backed and private securities.

By the Numbers

  • Revenue reached $209.3 million in Q4 2025, up 284% from the same period in 2024 (turned positive — improved).
  • Net income hit $28.3 million in Q4 2025, up 119% year-over-year (turned positive — improved).
  • Gross profit was $194.6 million in Q4 2025, up 271% from a loss in Q4 2024 (turned positive — improved).
  • Operating cash flow reached negative $152.8 million in Q4 2025, down 502% from the prior year (turned negative — worsened).

Evolution of the Business

Chimera has transitioned from a pure investment firm into a fully integrated residential mortgage company. Its shift toward direct loan origination helps it control the entire lifecycle of its mortgage assets.
