Ares Commercial: 50%+ Book Value Discount Is Excessive (Rating Upgrade) Ares Commercial Real Estate announced a 40% dividend cut for Q1 '25, reducing the quarterly dividend to $0.15 per-share. Persistent loan quality issues, particularly in the office portfolio, forced ACRE to divest loans at a loss and reduce financial leverage. Shares trade at a 50%+ discount to book value, reflecting deep investor distrust despite the REIT's efforts to de-risk and reset for growth. seekingalpha.com - 3 weeks ago
Losers Of REIT Earnings Season In Part 3 of our Earnings Recap, we present a sector-by-sector breakdown of the Losers of REIT Earnings Season, discussing incremental positives/negatives and noting the individual standouts. Commercial Mortgage REITs were the "biggest loser" of REIT earnings season after results showed ongoing problems in the office space and a significant deterioration in multifamily bridge loan performance. Results from Hotel REITs were also disappointing given the record-levels of travel demand, as margin pressures from higher labor costs have taken a sizable bite out of bottom-line profitability. seekingalpha.com - 3 weeks ago
Ares Commercial Real Estate: 40% Dividend Cut, What Now? Ares Commercial Real Estate Corporation cut its dividend by 40% due to persistent loan quality issues and underperforming distributable earnings, following a 24% cut in early 2024. The mortgage REIT's book value has declined significantly, now trading at a 50% discount due to ongoing loan losses and a contracting net interest margin. Despite the dividend cuts, the trust's pay-out metrics remain unstable, leading to a 'Hold' rating as concerns about the company's financial stability persist. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Why Dividends Matter, Even The Little Ones Dividends provide a reliable income stream, especially during tough economic times, alleviating financial pressure without the need to sell shares. Persistent inflation makes dividend income increasingly valuable, as it offers stability when market returns are volatile or negative. Investing in well-established, high-yield dividend companies with strong cash flows can ensure a steady income and reduce financial stress. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Inflation Isn't Dead Yet US equity markets flirted with fresh record-highs this week while benchmark interest rates hovered around two-month lows as investors weighed positive earnings news against uncomfortable hot inflation data. Complicating the policy outlook for the Federal Reserve, CPI data showed the fastest monthly rise in consumer prices since August, prompting a pledge from Powell for "more work to do." Snapping a two-week losing streak, the S&P 500 rebounded by 1.5%, closing fractionally below its prior record-high set in late January. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rallied nearly 3%. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
