Chimera reported Q2 2026 results on August 5, 2026. Earnings per share were $0.46, short of the $0.54 estimate by 14.43%. Revenue of $70.5 million missed the $95.3 million consensus by 26.01%. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS still rose about 18% from $0.39 and revenue rose about 7% from $66.0 million.

The longer record shows a sharp step down followed by a slow recovery. Quarterly EPS was $1.38 in Q4 2021, the high in the table, on revenue of $154.6 million. Annual EPS then fell from $3.24 in 2022 to $1.53 in 2023 and $1.46 in 2024, before rising to $1.70 in 2025. The first half of 2026 totals $1.00, about 25% more than a year earlier. Revenue has stayed between $63 million and $77 million in every quarter since Q4 2022. Chimera beat the EPS estimate in 7 of the last 20 quarters, and revenue has come in below the estimate for 18 quarters in a row.

Chimera reported Q3 between November 2 and November 6 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the next report. It will show whether EPS keeps the year-over-year gains of recent quarters.
