Frequently asked questions
What is Chimera Investment Corporation's revenue?
Chimera Investment Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $214.90M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is CIM?
In its most recent fiscal year, CIM ran a gross margin of 94.87%, an operating margin of 93.16%, and a net margin of 28.08%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does CIM generate?
CIM produced $-287.10M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is CIM's balance sheet healthy?
CIM holds $278.58M in cash and equivalents against $7.04B in long-term debt, on $2.57B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
