Arbor Realty:Q1 Dividend Cut Foreshadows Continued Pressure

  • I am downgrading Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) to HOLD due to a substantial dividend cut and weak Q1 2025 earnings. The dividend was slashed by almost 40%. I see the dividend cut as an indicator of strong headwinds, which are likely to persist or even worsen with rising delinquency rates.
