Arbor Realty Trust Offers High Yield And Recovery Potential

  • Despite recent dividend cuts and high short interest, I see Arbor Realty Trust as a contrarian buy with limited downside and strong recovery potential. Arbor's focus on multifamily and single-family rentals, plus innovative securitizations and prudent risk management, set it apart from riskier office-exposed REITs. While earnings and revenue have declined, adjusted profits cover the new dividend, and management is proactively optimizing the balance sheet for long-term value.
