ABR

Arbor Realty Trust has realized a 55% stock drop on the back of two dividend cuts and elevated non-performing loans. The mREIT's dividend yield stands at 12.7%, but distributable earnings coverage remains negative, raising concerns over sustainability. Management's aggressive $114 million stock buyback signals confidence in distributable earnings recovery and could create an anchor for the share price.

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR), today announced the closing of an $825 million commercial real estate mortgage loan securitization (the “Securitization”). An aggregate of approximately $730.1 million of investment grade-rated notes were issued (the “Notes”) and Arbor retained subordinate interests in the issuing vehicle of approximately $112.4 million. The $825 million of collateral includes approximately $56.7 million of capacity to acquire additional loans for a period of up to 180 days from the closing date of the Securitization.

Not every REIT deserves the recent rally. AI could make some property risks worse. Two popular high-yield REITs look too risky.
