Frequently asked questions
What is MFA Financial Inc's revenue?
MFA Financial Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $288.15M. 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 MFA?
In its most recent fiscal year, MFA ran a gross margin of 96.18%, an operating margin of 78.84%, and a net margin of 20.20%. 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 MFA generate?
MFA produced $76.25M 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 MFA's balance sheet healthy?
MFA holds $213.21M in cash and equivalents against $6.55B in long-term debt, on $1.83B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
