'The 13% reduction in the dividend this quarter is consistent with the reduction in our book value resulting from the contingency accrual of $198.9 million that we have deemed probable and estimable in connection with the ongoing litigation related to our internalization in 2020. The reduced dividend reflects our projected static returns in future quarters as we adjust our portfolio in light of this accrual,' stated Bill Greenberg, TWO's President and Chief Executive Officer. 'While this litigation remains ongoing and involves claims unrelated to the accrual that are not yet probable or estimable, we think lowering the dividend on a pro rata basis at this time is a prudent action and positions us to take advantage of future market opportunities. Most importantly, this dividend reduction does not reflect our positive momentum, and we remain tremendously excited about the opportunities available for mortgage companies like TWO, and our paired strategy of MSR and MBS specifically.'
TWO also declared today the following preferred stock dividends for the second quarter of 2025:
(1) The Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock accrue dividends at a floating rate, as determined on each dividend determination date, equal to the Three-Month CME Term SOFR plus 0.26161% plus 5.011%.
The Series A, Series B and Series C preferred dividends are payable on July 28, 2025 to the applicable preferred stockholders of record at the close of business on July 11, 2025.

LNG Emissions Could Fall 60% With $100 Billion Invest

The International Energy Agency said LNG emissions could be slashed by over 60% using today's technologyif investors pony up roughly $100 billion, the agency's latest report shows. The IEA pegs annual greenhouse gases from the global liquefied natural gas supply chain at about 350 million tonnes of CO?-equivalent and estimates $100 billion in upfront capital would fund electrification, methane-leak mitigation and CCUS across all viable LNG facilities. Roughly 70% of those emissions come from CO? released during combustion or venting, while the remaining 30% stems from unburnt methane slipping into the atmosphere. Despite cleaner life-cycle footprintsmore than 99% of LNG consumed in 2024 emits less than coal and on average yields about 25% lower emissionsthe IEA warns that comparing LNG only to coal sets the bar too low given broader decarbonization opportunities. Beyond electrification and CCUS, boosting process efficiency and deploying carbon capture at liquefaction plants could drive down both CO? and methane output. Major LNG producers like Shell (NYSE:SHEL), ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) are positioned to benefit from, or be challenged by, the shift toward cleaner operations. Why it matters: Energy investors need to weigh potential returns from financing clean-tech upgrades against regulatory pressure and emerging carbon-pricing regimes that could penalize high-emission producers. Closing: Markets will be watching next month's shareholder meetings at SHEL, XOM and CVX for any new clean-energy commitments or capital-allocation shifts to back the IEA's $100 billion roadmap.

Accenture: Growth Despite Headwinds

Accenture posted expectation-beating revenue and EPS growth. The management company battled through corporate and government headwinds to produce strong results. The company's new bookings number was below expectations, a sign of the difficulty in closing new deals in this economic environment. 10 stocks we like better than Accenture Plc › Here's our initial take on Accenture's (NYSE: ACN) fiscal 2025 third-quarter financial report. Metric Q3 FY24 Q3 FY25 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $16.5 billion $17.7 billion 7.6% Beat Earnings per share $3.04 $3.49 15% Beat Free cash flow $3.0 billion $3.5 billion 17% Missed New bookings $21.1 billion $19.7 billion -6% n/a Accenture posted solid growth in a difficult period for consulting companies. Corporate customers are scaling back due to macroeconomic uncertainty, and the U.S. federal contracting environment is bogged down by efforts to cut government spending. Yet Accenture still was able to grow revenue by 7.6% and earnings per share by 15% in the quarter, topping Wall Street estimates. Financial services was the standout segment based on performance, up 13% year over year, and Accenture saw better strength in the Americas (up 9%) than it did in Europe (up 6%) or Asia (up 4%). Companywide operating margin improved by 80 basis points to 16.8%. But the results are unlikely to be enough to quell investor fears about the macro economy taking its toll. New bookings for the quarter came in at $19.7 billion, down 6% year over year. Included in that is about $1.5 billion in generative AI new bookings. Accenture remains a cash generation machine, reporting $3.5 billion in free cash flow in the quarter. The company paid $924 million in dividends and repurchased $1.8 billion of its shares in the quarter, increasing its dividend by 15% compared to fiscal 2024. Investors appear to be focusing on the bookings weakness. Accenture shares were down 5% in premarket trading ahead of the opening bell in New York. Accenture is now 75% through its fiscal year, and has seen enough to firm up some of its guidance. The company now sees full-year fiscal 2025 revenue up by 6% to 7%, compared to the previous forecast for 5% to 7% growth, and boosted its full-year earnings per share guidance to $12.77 to $12.89, from $12.55 to $12.79. Accenture expects to return "at least" $8.3 billion in capital to shareholders. There's a lot of uncertainty in the near-term guidance, with the bookings number reflecting the turbulence in the federal contracting market and uncertainty among corporate clients. But for long-term focused investors, the need for Accenture's assistance in areas such as IT modernization remains as strong as ever, and Accenture appears to be having success establishing itself as a go-to vendor to help clients incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into their businesses. Accenture still has a lot of ways to win.
