29702.0 | 2012-10-15 00:00:00 UTC | Cintas Solution to Ruin Hard Drives - Analyst Blog | ABM | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/cintas-solution-to-ruin-hard-drives-analyst-blog-2012-10-15 | nan | nan | The Document Management segment of Cintas Corporation ( CTAS ) has commenced its hard drive destruction program that destroys hard drives safely and securely. The program destroys the hard drives through a compliant recycling process and minimizes the risks of potential fines for improper destruction process.
Conventional hard drive destruction methods are generally time consuming and involve the risks of human error as well as non-compliance with disposal laws. The process, if not compliant with the data confidentiality rules, ends up with serious financial penalties.
The penalties include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that levy fines of up to $250,000 along with a 10-year imprisonment for each violation of patient health information privacy rules, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that imposes penalties of up to $100,000 per violation by financial institutions.
Moreover, the discarded hard drives contain information that is confidential and recoverable. Therefore, any loss of sensitive data will have a material impact on the business reputation.
The hard drive destruction program provided by Cintas also guarantees that the confidential files are not exposed and are compliant with data privacy standards. Moreover, the customers can view all hard drives to ensure that they are destroyed before the Cintas truck leaves the customers' parking lot.
Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Cintas provides specialized services to businesses of all types throughout North America. The company designs, manufactures, implements corporate identity uniform programs, and provides entrance mats, restroom supplies, promotional products and first aid and safety products.
Cintas' first-quarter fiscal 2013 (ended August 31, 2012) earnings were 60 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Total revenues improved 3.4% year over year to $1.05 billion, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.06 billion.
One of the important raw materials used in Document Management is recycled paper. Gross margin in the second quarter slipped 80 basis points year over year due to lower recycled paper prices. If paper price remains low then it may weigh on the company's revenues going forward. Moreover, Cintas faces tough competition from leading companies like ABM Industries Incorporated ( ABM ) and G&K Services ( GKSR ) and UniFirst Corp. ( UNF ).
The company retains a short-term Zacks #2 Rank (Buy). We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

29703.0 | 2012-10-09 00:00:00 UTC | ABM to Buy Air Serv - Analyst Blog | ABM | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abm-to-buy-air-serv-analyst-blog-2012-10-09 | nan | nan | ABM Industries Incorporated ( ABM ) has entered into an agreement to acquire Air Serv Corporation for approximately $158 million in cash. The transaction is expected to be slightly accretive to ABM's earnings in fiscal 2013 and to contribute significantly in the future. The transaction, pursuant to customary closing conditions, is expected to close next month.
Air Serv is a leading provider of integrated facility management services for the world's leading airlines and freight companies at airports across the United States and United Kingdom. It generates annual revenues of approximately $300 million and employs around 12,000 employees globally and provides a variety of janitorial, passenger, security services and transportation services. Air Serv is the global leader in wheelchair, baggage handling and skycap services.
The combined entity will significantly expand ABM's capabilities in meeting the end-to-end needs of the airlines and airport authorities and is expected to generate over $650 million in annual revenues. This acquisition will augment ABM's aviation capabilities and position the company as the industry leader in this space.
In the recently reported third-quarter fiscal 2012, ABM posted adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents as well as the year-ago quarter earnings of 51 cents per share.
Total revenue remained flat year over year at $1.08 billion, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.09 billion. Contract cancellations of government-related businesses in the Facility Solutions segment negatively impacted the results.
The acquisition will enhance ABM's international footprint and Air Serv's U.K operations will serve as a base for expanding ABM's in other services as well. However, the dearth of government contracts as well as weak global economic condition will weigh on the margins going forward. Moreover, as the company's Facility Solution segment depends heavily on government contracts, any further cancellation of these contracts would have a negative impact on its revenues.
ABM retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Results improved 15.4% from the prior year quarter earnings of 52 cents per share.
Operational Update
Total revenue in the quarter increased 3.4% year over year to $1.05 billion, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.06 billion. Organic growth in the quarter was 3.2%.
Cost of rental uniforms and ancillary products increased 6.1% year over year to $428.1 million and cost of other services rose 1.5% to $177.3 million during the quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.3% on a year-over-year basis to $306.6 million.

Uniform Direct Sales revenues grossed $100.3 million, decreasing 1.4% from $101.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross profit for the segment increased 1.3% to $29.5 million from $29.1 in the year ago quarter. Gross margin dropped 80 bps year over year to 29.4%.

Financial Position
Cash and cash equivalents were $319.2 million as of August 31, 2012, decreasing from $339.8 million as of May 31, 2012. Long-term debt was $1.31 billion as of August 31, 2012, compared to $1.06 billion as of May 31, 2012.
The debt-to-capitalization ratio increased to 37.8% as of August 31, 2012, from 37.5% as of May 31, 2012. Cash flow from operations was $94.9 million during the three months ended August 31, 2012, up from $56.6 million during the three months ending August 31, 2011.

Outlook for Fiscal 2013
The company reiterated revenue guidance in the range of $4.25-$4.35 billion. Earnings are now expected to lie within the band of $2.50-$2.58, up from the previous guidance of $2.47-$2.55 per share. The share buy back program during the fourth quarter will benefit earnings by roughly 3 cents per share.
Our Take
Cintas faces severe challenges from the soft European market. The document management segment was negatively affected during the reported quarter due to lower recycled paper prices. If paper price remains low, it may weigh on margins going forward. Moreover, higher cotton price remain a headwind for the company in the coming quarters.
However, Cintas continues with its focus on selling profitable business and cost cutting initiatives which bodes well for its future performance. Moreover, the company has a healthy balance sheet as required to finance future acquisitions.
Cintas faces competition from companies like G&K Services, Inc. ( GKSR ) and ABM Industries Incorporated ( ABM ). The company retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

One of the important raw materials for Cintas is recycled paper used in document management segment. Gross margin during fourth-quarter fiscal 2012 dropped 70 basis points to 42.1% due to lower recycled paper prices. If paper price remains low then it may weigh on margins going forward.
Cintas faces tough competition from companies like G & K Services, Inc. ( GKSR ) and ABM Industries Incorporated ( ABM ). Cintas retains a short-term Zacks #2 Rank (Buy). We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

29706.0 | 2012-09-13 00:00:00 UTC | ABM Sets Foot in Germany - Analyst Blog | ABM | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abm-sets-foot-in-germany-analyst-blog-2012-09-13 | nan | nan | ABM Industries ( ABM ) has expanded its partnership with sports and entertainment company, AEG, with the commencement of its commercial cleaning services for AEG owned and operated O2 World Hamburg arena in Germany.
The parties have signed a multi-year German contract which came into effect on September 1, 2012. ABM has fortified its partnership with AEG by encompassing international locations across the globe under the deal.
The multipurpose, state-of-the-art O2 World Hamburg arena hosts nearly 140 events annually with more than one million viewers each year. The arena is famous as the home for the Hamburg Freezers ice hockey team and the HSV Hamburg club handball team.
ABM has provided its services to several AEG venues in the U.S. These include STAPLES Center, Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE and The GRAMMY Museum (all located in L.A. LIVE) in downtown Los Angeles; Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, among others.
The strategic partnership with AEG has opened up doors for ABM to reach out to countries in Europe and other international locations. Therefore, ABM will be able to attain a wider client base across the globe, helping it to be the global leader in integrated facility solutions.
In the recently reported third-quarter fiscal 2012, ABM posted adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents as well as the year-ago quarter's earnings of 51 cents per share.
Total revenues remained flat year over year at $1.08 billion, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.09 billion. Contract cancellations of government-related businesses in the Facility Solutions segment negatively impacted the results.
Although ABM is expanding in the global arena, the dearth of government contracts as well as weak global economic condition are expected to weigh on the margins moving forward. Moreover, as the company's Facility Solution segment depends heavily on government contracts, any further cancellation of these contracts would have a negative impact on its revenues.
ABM retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

's ( ABM ) third quarter fiscal 2012 adjusted earnings were 37 cents per share, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents as well as the the year-ago quarter's earnings of 51 cents per share.
Including one-time items, earnings in the quarter were 23 cents per share compared with 51 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Operational Update
Total revenues remained flat year over year at $1.08 billion. Contract cancellations of government-related businesses in the Facility Solutions segment negatively impacted results. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.09 billion.
Operating expense rose 2% year over year to $971.6 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3.6% to $79.1 million. Operating profit dropped 43.1% year over year to $23.2 million in the quarter.
Segmental Performance
Janitorial : Revenues from the segment increased marginally year over year to $602.5 million in the quarter. Operating profit decreased 13.2% year over year to $34.9 million. Improvement was unfavorably affected by one additional day of labor expense.
Facility Solutions : Revenues from the segment decreased 2.7% year over year to $230 million. Operating profit declined 11.1% year over year to $8.8 million. The decline was attributable to tight government spending.
Parking : Revenues from the segment rose 1.1% year over year to $155 million during the quarter. Operating profit in the segment also rose 8.3% year over year to $7.8 million.
Security : Revenues from the segment rose 4.4% to $91.6 million from the prior year quarter. Operating profit went up 5.3% to $3 million year over year.
Financial Position
Cash and cash equivalents of the company as of July 31, 2012, were $21.7 million, lower than $25.4 million as of April 31, 2012. Cash from operating activities decreased to $28.3 million in the reported quarter from $51.7 million in the year-ago quarter.
Dividend
The Board of Directors of ABM Industries also declared a third quarter cash dividend of 14.5 cents per share, payable on November 5, 2012, to stockholders of record as on October 4, 2012.
Share Repurchase
ABM Industries' Board of Directors has authorized a $50 million share repurchase program. The company had approximately 54 million shares outstanding as of August 30, 2012.
Guidance
The company lowered its guidance for fiscal 2012 adjusted earnings to $1.36-$1.42 from the previous range of $1.40 to $1.50 per share. Earnings (on a reported basis) target is trimmed down to the range of $1.08-$1.14 from the previous range of $1.26 to $1.36.
Our Take
The dearth of government spending along with weak economic conditions prevailing in the global scenario would weigh on the margins moving forward. The Facility Solutions segment depends heavily on government contracts and any further cancellation of these contracts would affect the revenues negatively.
ABM Industries retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

In today's world, companies strive to remain focused on functions and activities that are close to their core competence and where they enjoy competitive advantages. But they still need to perform a host of other functions in today's complex market place. This need opens the door for providers of business services.
Business services can be defined as ancillary services provided by companies to other players in the market. It can also be called a tertiary sector. Hence, the main business of one company can be a business service for another company.
The business service sector is highly fragmented, with no single service provider boasting dominant market share to rule the industry. As per business reports, the top 50 companies of the sector contributes to less than 25% of the overall revenue of the business service sector.
The business services industry comprises a large number of businesses. The industry's array of diverse services includes marketing, consulting, staffing, security, telecommunications, internet services, logistics, food and catering, and waste handling, among many others. In its expanded sense, the US business services sector generates consolidated yearly revenue of about $620 billion, though many companies mentioned below do not strictly fall into the generally accepted definition of the industry.
Some Industries in the Business Service Sector
Advertising & Market Services and Direct Marketing plays a vital role in informing consumers about new products, eventually helping the producers to better penetrate into the markets. The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. ( IPG ), Omnicom Group Inc. ( OMC ), Valassis Communications Inc. ( VCI ), Harte-Hanks Inc. ( HHS ) and Vertis are important players in this industry.
Consulting Service providers offer expert advice in a given field for smoother functioning of the companies. Major companies in this arena include Accenture plc ( ACN ), Bain, Booz Allen, Deloitte Consulting (an affiliate of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu), and IBM Global Services ( IBM ).
The Staffing business helps companies identify and recruit the right person for the right job. This sector is dominated by Insperity Inc. ( NSP ), Kelly Services Inc. ( KELYB ), ManpowerGroup ( MAN ), ADP TotalSource, and the US operations of Adecco.
Internet Service Providers and Telecommunication Services act as a bridge to connect knowledge, information and personnel across the globe. This sector is ruled by AT&T Inc. ( T ), Verizon Communications Inc. ( VZ ) and Comcast ( CMCSA ).
Surveillance, Investigation & Security Consulting Services providers offer specialized security services and this sector is dominated by FTI Consulting ( FCN ) and Kroll.
ABM Industries Incorporated ( ABM ) and ServiceMaster are the leaders in Janitorial & Carpet Cleaning Services. This service helps to maintain cleanliness and hygine at workplace.
As the name suggests, Food Service Contractors provides food. Major components in this domain include ARAMARK, Centerplate and Delaware North.
Waste Management service providers offer services that includes collection, transport, processing, recycling, disposing and monitoring of waste. Waste Management Inc ( WM ), Republic Services Inc. ( RSG ) and Waste Connections Inc. ( WCN ) are the major players in this arena.
Travel Agencies & Service providers offer logistics and conveyance services. The sector leaders include Carlson Wagonlit Travel and Sabre Holdings.
The US and Europe are the largest markets for the business service sector. Some of the dominant players beyond the US boundary include: waste and remediation services provider Veolia Environnement ( VE ) (France), facilities support services provider Serco Group (UK), staffing services provider Adecco (Switzerland), travel agency service TUI Travel (UK), and security services provider G4S (UK). Other big names in the field are Rentokil Initial (UK); and ISS (Denmark).
Nevertheless, the emerging economies, such as India and China are also becoming important destinations for the business service sectors.
OPPORTUNITIES
Labor Intensive: Given the nature of intangible products offered by the service sector, it is a labor intensive industry. Labor, both skilled and unskilled, is an essential part for a smooth functioning of this sector. Being a labor-intensive sector, it offers immense employment opportunities.
Cost Effective: All business operators prefer to minimize costs of operation and maximize margins. This sector offers cost effectiveness to the companies that opt for their services. Companies will have to incur higher costs if a company employs the services by themselves and does not take the help of the service providers.
The service providers specialize in particular services and reduce the operational cost of a company, eventually helping companies to limit overall costs. Notably, an increased number of companies opting for such specialized services would increase the volumes for the service providers. As a result, they can offer services at a lower cost, which in turn will further lower the cost for the companies.
Specialized Service: The industry offers specialized services that come with latest technologies. This is very evident for the security and consulting services. To safeguard data, companies are compelled to engage security service providers. The security service providers need to have the latest and most efficient technologies in place to persuade its clients and win business contracts.
Also, with increased number of mergers and acquisitions across the globe, the prospects for legal service providers look good. Consulting services is another wing of this industry that is gaining traction at a higher pace these days.
With complexities in business on the rise, companies are opting for expert advices before entering into any new venture rather than having hiccups once already into it. Hence this service sector also looks promising as their services are becoming an indispensable part for companies that are fighting to survive in the competitive market.
CHALLENGES
Growth Tied to Health of Economy: One of the major factors that could impact the growth of the service sector is the overall health of the economy. The companies in the business service sector derive revenue by providing essential services to other companies. Spending by companies to avail services might reduce drastically if the pace of economic growth is slower than the expected level. This would naturally reduce the business of the service providers and affect their fundamentals.
Training, Maintaining Skilled Workforce: Since skilled workers are always in high demand, there remains a possibility of high turnover rate within the sector. Training of unskilled workers or taking in new skilled workers increases operational costs, thereby affecting margins. This sector needs to have more skilled workforce to take advantages of the technology that is developing almost everyday.
Zacks Rank
Our proprietary stock-picking framework, the Zacks Rank, provides a reliable indicator of the likely movements of the Business Service Sector stocks. Among the companies mentioned, only AOL ( AOL ) holds a Zacks #2 Rank, which translates into a short-term Buy rating. The Zacks Rank captures the essence of earnings momentum or lack thereof by focusing on trends in earnings estimate revisions.
Valassis Communications, Accenture, Insperity, AT&T, Verizon, Waste Connections, Republic Services, ABM Industries and Veolia hold a Zacks #3 Rank, indicating a short-term Hold rating.
Interpublic, Omnicom, Waste Management, and Harte-Hanks holds Zacks #4 Rank, indicating a short-term Sell rating. Manpower holds Zacks #5 Rank, translating into a short-term Strong Sell rating.
To Conclude
A dearth of skilled labor in the business service sectors can have an impact on the future growth possibilities. Non availability of quality workforce at a reasonable rate might increase the overall operational cost.
However, due to the highly fragmented nature of the industry, it is difficult to set a distinct trend or predict a concrete future of the industry. The industry is expected to grow at an annual compounded rate of 4% from 2010 to 2015.
With population growing at an accelerated pace and economic turmoil being a constant drag of late, generating employment is a burning issue. This sector, being labor intensive, involves lower capital investments and confidently addresses this problem. Thus, we can safely say this industry is essential to business operations going forward, despite the hurdles.

29711.0 | 2012-07-31 00:00:00 UTC | Business Services Stock Outlook - Aug. 2012 - Industry Outlook | ABM | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/business-services-stock-outlook-aug.-2012-industry-outlook-2012-07-31-0 | nan | nan | To Begin With
In today's world, companies strive to remain focused on functions and activities that are close to their core competence and where they enjoy competitive advantages. But they still need to perform a host of other functions in today's complex market place. This need opens the door for providers of business services.
Business services can be defined as ancillary services provided by companies to other players in the market. It can also be called a tertiary sector. Hence, the main business of one company can be a business service for another company.
The business service sector is highly fragmented, with no single service provider boasting dominant market share to rule the industry. As per business reports, the top 50 companies of the sector contributes to less than 25% of the overall revenue of the business service sector.
The business services industry comprises a large number of businesses. The industry's array of diverse services includes marketing, consulting, staffing, security, telecommunications, internet services, logistics, food and catering, and waste handling, among many others. In its expanded sense, the US business services sector generates consolidated yearly revenue of about $620 billion, though many companies mentioned below do not strictly fall into the generally accepted definition of the industry.
Some Industries in the Business Service Sector
Advertising & Market Services and Direct Marketing plays a vital role in informing consumers about new products, eventually helping the producers to better penetrate into the markets. The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. ( IPG ), Omnicom Group Inc. ( OMC ), Valassis Communications Inc. ( VCI ), Harte-Hanks Inc. ( HHS ) and Vertis are important players in this industry.
Consulting Service providers offer expert advice in a given field for smoother functioning of the companies. Major companies in this arena include Accenture plc ( ACN ), Bain, Booz Allen, Deloitte Consulting (an affiliate of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu), and IBM Global Services ( IBM ).
The Staffing business helps companies identify and recruit the right person for the right job. This sector is dominated by Insperity Inc. ( NSP ), Kelly Services Inc. ( KELYB ), ManpowerGroup ( MAN ), ADP TotalSource, and the US operations of Adecco.
Internet Service Providers and Telecommunication Services act as a bridge to connect knowledge, information and personnel across the globe. This sector is ruled by AT&T Inc. ( T ), Verizon Communications Inc. ( VZ ) and Comcast ( CMCSA ).
Surveillance, Investigation & Security Consulting Services providers offer specialized security services and this sector is dominated by FTI Consulting ( FCN ) and Kroll.
ABM Industries Incorporated ( ABM ) and ServiceMaster are the leaders in Janitorial & Carpet Cleaning Services. This service helps to maintain cleanliness and hygine at workplace.
As the name suggests, Food Service Contractors provides food. Major components in this domain include ARAMARK, Centerplate and Delaware North.
Waste Management service providers offer services that includes collection, transport, processing, recycling, disposing and monitoring of waste. Waste Management Inc ( WM ), Republic Services Inc. ( RSG ) and Waste Connections Inc. ( WCN ) are the major players in this arena.
Travel Agencies & Service providers offer logistics and conveyance services. The sector leaders include Carlson Wagonlit Travel and Sabre Holdings.
The US and Europe are the largest markets for the business service sector. Some of the dominant players beyond the US boundary include: waste and remediation services provider Veolia Environnement ( VE ) (France), facilities support services provider Serco Group (UK), staffing services provider Adecco (Switzerland), travel agency service TUI Travel (UK), and security services provider G4S (UK). Other big names in the field are Rentokil Initial (UK); and ISS (Denmark).
Nevertheless, the emerging economies, such as India and China are also becoming important destinations for the business service sectors.
OPPORTUNITIES
Labor Intensive: Given the nature of intangible products offered by the service sector, it is a labor intensive industry. Labor, both skilled and unskilled, is an essential part for a smooth functioning of this sector. Being a labor-intensive sector, it offers immense employment opportunities.
Cost Effective: All business operators prefer to minimize costs of operation and maximize margins. This sector offers cost effectiveness to the companies that opt for their services. Companies will have to incur higher costs if a company employs the services by themselves and does not take the help of the service providers.
The service providers specialize in particular services and reduce the operational cost of a company, eventually helping companies to limit overall costs. Notably, an increased number of companies opting for such specialized services would increase the volumes for the service providers. As a result, they can offer services at a lower cost, which in turn will further lower the cost for the companies.
Specialized Service: The industry offers specialized services that come with latest technologies. This is very evident for the security and consulting services. To safeguard data, companies are compelled to engage security service providers. The security service providers need to have the latest and most efficient technologies in place to persuade its clients and win business contracts.
Also, with increased number of mergers and acquisitions across the globe, the prospects for legal service providers look good. Consulting services is another wing of this industry that is gaining traction at a higher pace these days.
With complexities in business on the rise, companies are opting for expert advices before entering into any new venture rather than having hiccups once already into it. Hence this service sector also looks promising as their services are becoming an indispensable part for companies that are fighting to survive in the competitive market.
CHALLENGES
Growth Tied to Health of Economy: One of the major factors that could impact the growth of the service sector is the overall health of the economy. The companies in the business service sector derive revenue by providing essential services to other companies. Spending by companies to avail services might reduce drastically if the pace of economic growth is slower than the expected level. This would naturally reduce the business of the service providers and affect their fundamentals.
Training, Maintaining Skilled Workforce: Since skilled workers are always in high demand, there remains a possibility of high turnover rate within the sector. Training of unskilled workers or taking in new skilled workers increases operational costs, thereby affecting margins. This sector needs to have more skilled workforce to take advantages of the technology that is developing almost everyday.
Zacks Rank
Our proprietary stock-picking framework, the Zacks Rank, provides a reliable indicator of the likely movements of the Business Service Sector stocks. Among the companies mentioned, only AOL ( AOL ) holds a Zacks #2 Rank, which translates into a short-term Buy rating. The Zacks Rank captures the essence of earnings momentum or lack thereof by focusing on trends in earnings estimate revisions.
Valassis Communications, Accenture, Insperity, AT&T, Verizon, Waste Connections, Republic Services, ABM Industries and Veolia hold a Zacks #3 Rank, indicating a short-term Hold rating.
Interpublic, Omnicom, Waste Management, and Harte-Hanks holds Zacks #4 Rank, indicating a short-term Sell rating. Manpower holds Zacks #5 Rank, translating into a short-term Strong Sell rating.
To Conclude
A dearth of skilled labor in the business service sectors can have an impact on the future growth possibilities. Non availability of quality workforce at a reasonable rate might increase the overall operational cost.
However, due to the highly fragmented nature of the industry, it is difficult to set a distinct trend or predict a concrete future of the industry. The industry is expected to grow at an annual compounded rate of 4% from 2010 to 2015.
With population growing at an accelerated pace and economic turmoil being a constant drag of late, generating employment is a burning issue. This sector, being labor intensive, involves lower capital investments and confidently addresses this problem. Thus, we can safely say this industry is essential to business operations going forward, despite the hurdles.

29712.0 | 2012-06-22 00:00:00 UTC | ABM's BES Program to Save $2M - Analyst Blog | ABM | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abms-bes-program-to-save-%242m-analyst-blog-2012-06-22 | nan | nan | The ABM Building Solutions division of ABM Industries Incorporated ( ABM ) has partnered with Chipley, Florida-based Washington-Holmes Technical Center to help the latter in cutting energy consumption through its Bundled Energy Solution (BES) Program and save roughly $2 million in the process.
The BES Program is cost efficient and simply caters to building owners as well as facility managers who are interested in improving energy management. Each client can get solutions as per his/her own requirements. Moreover, the clients can reallocate the savings from the project and pay for the improvements on the energy front.
The project will deal with fixing lights, refurbishing exhaust systems, installation of web-based heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) control system among others in the buildings on the campus. ABM intends to complete the project this year by August. It is expected that the program will benefit Washington-Holmes Technical Center by reducing energy consumption by more than 1 million kilowatt hour per year.
Besides, ABM will also offer the students of the Center an opportunity to gather experiences on Building Trades Program. The students will get the privilege to do field survey and recommend their suggestions on improving the efficiency alongside ABM.
Earlier, ABM had partnered with other institutions including South Gate Community Schools in Michigan, Madison County School District in Madison County in Georgia, Fayette County Career & Technical Institute ("FCCTI") in Pennsylvania.
We expect that the BES program will benefit ABM to get many more new deals in addition to renewing the contracts of the existing ones. This will also enable the company to combat with the growing threats from both local and national players including privately held companies like ARAMARK Corporation, Central Parking Corporation, UGL Services UNICCO Operations Co., given the low cost of entry into the facility services business.
ABM has significantly improved its efficiencies with the acquisition of Linc Group in December, 2010. However, a significant portion of Linc's revenues is generated through government contracts. Reduced government spending on outsourced services as well as payment delays may weigh on its revenues.
ABM retains a short-term Zacks #4 Rank (Sell). We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

In today's world, where organizations find energy management and infrastructure improvement quite challenging, ABM Industries offers the BES. The BES are cost efficient and simply caters to building owners as well as facility managers who are interested in improving energy management.
Each client can get solutions as per his/her own requirements. Moreover, the clients can reallocate the savings from the project and pay for the improvements on the energy front.
Our View
We believe that BES will help ABM Industries to get new deals along with the renewal of the existing ones. This will also enable the company to combat with the growing threats from both local and national players, driven by low cost of entry into the facility services business.
Recently, ABM Industries has chartered the ABM Energy for implementing technologies that would benefit the customers by reducing their energy consumption as well as operating costs. The company's capabilities have significantly improved with the acquisition of The Linc Group in 2010.
However, a significant portion of Linc's revenues is generated by government contracts. Reduced government spending on outsourced services as well as payment delays may weigh on revenues.
Currently, we have a long-term Neutral recommendation on ABM Industries, which is in line with the short term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold).

29715.0 | 2012-03-06 00:00:00 UTC | ABM Reports In Line, Retains Guidance - Analyst Blog | ABM | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abm-reports-in-line-retains-guidance-analyst-blog-2012-03-06 | nan | nan | ABM Industries Inc. ( ABM ) reported first quarter fiscal 2012 adjusted EPS of 22 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were flat year over year.
Including one-time items, EPS in the quarter was 20 cents compared with 16 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Operational Update
In the first quarter, revenue improved 4.3% year over year to $1.074 billion. The improvement largely stemmed from contributions from the acquisition of Linc Group. The top line outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.067 billion.
Operating expense jumped 4.6% year over year to $966 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1.7% to $84.0 million. Operating profit also increased 5.2% year over year to $17.8 million in the quarter.
Segmental Performance
Janitorial: Revenue from the segment slipped marginally year over year to $594 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Operating profit in the segment increased 2% year over year to $31 million. Improvement in billing processes and cost control measures were partially offset by higher state unemployment insurance expense.
Facility Solutions: Revenue from the segment increased 21% year over year to $234 million. Operating profit dropped 14.6% year over year to $6.4 million. This was attributable to the mix and timing of government projects.
Parking: Revenue from the segment rose marginally year over year to $153 million during the quarter. Operating profit in the segment also increased marginally year over year to $4.8 million.
Security: Revenue from the segment rose 3.6% to $91.9 million from the prior year quarter while operating profit dipped 35% to $845 million year over year.
Financial Position
Cash and cash equivalents of the company as of January 31, 2012 were $17.7 million, lower than $26.5 million as of October 31, 2011. Cash from operating activities increased to $11.9 million in the reported quarter from $1.3 million in the year-ago quarter.
Dividend
The board of directors of ABM Industries also declared a second quarter cash dividend of 14.5 cents per share, payable on May 7, 2012, to stockholders of record as on April 5, 2012.
Guidance
The company reaffirmed its previous guidance range for fiscal 2012 adjusted earnings of $1.40 to $1.50 per share and GAAP earnings of $1.26 to $1.36. For fiscal 2012, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for adjusted earnings is pegged at $1.43 per share.
Healthy cash flow generation has helped ABM to pay dividends on a regular basis. The acquisition of Linc Group in December 2010 has benefited ABM and given a better growth profile. However, reduced government spending and delay in payments significantly affected margins in the Facility Solution segment.
We retain our Neutral recommendation on ABM Industries. The quantitative Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold" rating) for the company indicates no directional pressure on the stock over the near term.

29717.0 | 2010-02-25 00:00:00 UTC | Comparing Dividend Aristocrats to Dividend Champions | ABM | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/comparing-dividend-aristocrats-dividend-champions-2010-02-25 | nan | nan | David Van Knapp submits:
There are two lists that serve as basic source material for investors interested in long-term dividend-raisers. One is the well-known Dividend Aristocrats list published by S&P. (To get the list, click the link here, then Market Attributes, then Dividend Aristocrats. Free registration is required.) The other is the lesser-known Dividend Champions list maintained by The DRiP Investing Resource Center, a non-profit organization.
In my book, the latter list is far more useful than the former. What follows is a comparison between the two lists.
Goals: Both lists, at first glance, appear to have the same goal: To identify companies that have raised their dividends for 25 consecutive years. That would lead one to believe that the lists should be identical. But they are not. The Dividends Aristocrats [DA] list identifies 43 such companies as of February 17, 2010. The Dividend Champions [DC] list names 98 . How can that be? The answer lies in the methods used to compile the lists.
The two organizations use slightly different wording to describe what their lists show. S&P states that the DA list shows companies with "25 consecutive years of increased cash payments." DriP puts it this way: "[C]ompanies that have increased their dividend in at least 25 consecutive years[,…]broadened to include additional companies that [have] paid higher dividends (without necessarily having increased the quarterly rate in every calendar year."
Source Universe: DA uses the S&P 500. If a company is removed from the S&P 500, it is immediately removed from the DA list. If a company is added to the S&P 500, it is not eligible to be included on the DA list until the list is recompiled in mid-December each year. DC does not specify its universe, but it appears simply to be all US-based companies. Note that neither list includes foreign-based companies.
Update Schedule: S&P's DA list is updated once per year, in mid-December. It remains unchanged during the year unless a company is dropped from the S&P 500 as just described. Each month during the year, DA is updated to show whether or not a dividend increase or decrease has been declared by each company on the list. So even if a company declares a decreased dividend early in the year, the company will remain on the DA list for the rest of the year. For example, when GE announced in Feb. 2009 that it intended to cut its dividend, GE remained on the DA list for the rest of 2009, with a notation that its dividend had "decreased in February."
DC is updated every month. GE was deleted from its list at the end of Feb, 2009, as it should have been. DC maintains a running chronology of changes to its list. That chronology notes, "2/27/09: Deleted General Electric (div. reduced)." GE has not appeared on the DC list since that date.
What Qualifies as a Dividend Increase: S&P focuses on "dividend actions." These are positive declarations by a company that it is increasing its dividend.
DriP focuses on the actual dividend paid annually. This introduces another difference between the two lists. A company can increase its dividend distribution year-over-year without declaring a dividend increase. For example, "alternators" are companies that declare a dividend increase every other year, then hold the payment steady between increases. Say that a company pays out four times per year, as is typical of US companies. Then the actual annual dividend distribution will rise each year even if there is a declared increase only every other year. DC picks up such companies, DA does not. (If it is not intuitive to you why every-other-year increases result in annually increasing payouts, see the example in the DC document.)
Another apparent difference is that DC accounts for "special dividends." When a company declares a special dividend, it can appear the following year that it cut its dividend, even though its "regular dividend" has actually increased. DC factors out special dividends for its listing, and therefore it does not drop a company on the basis that it issued a special dividend the preceding year.
Information Provided by Both Lists: Each list gives the company name, ticker symbol, and sector/industry for each company on its list. Each list is available in Excel spreadsheet form. DriP also provides a pdf version of DC. The DA list is alphabetical, while the DC list is in descending order of the dividend streak.
Additional Information Provided: DA provides a year-by-year tabulation (going back 8 years) of dividend actions by the companies on its list. It tells what month the dividend was increased in that year. For the current year, it tells whether a company has decreased its dividend, without removing the stock from the list. If the company has neither increased nor decreased its dividend in the current or preceding year, that cell is left blank in the spreadsheet. Even if a company has declared a decreased dividend, S&P keeps the company on the DA list until the next December update. So, for example, in the list dated 11/11/2009, DA showed 52 companies, even though 8 of them had decreased their dividends (as noted in the document). Two other companies remained on the list even though no increase was noted in either 2008 or 2009. All 10 of those companies have been removed from the 2010 list.
DriP's DC list provides a host of additional information beyond the bare list itself:
Number of years of consecutive dividend increases (the leader = Diebold [DBD] at 56 years)
Whether the company offers a dividend re-investment plan [DRIP]
Price and yield as of the end of each month
The old and new quarterly dividend rate
The percentage of the most recent dividend increase
The ex-dividend, record, and payment dates
DriP's source of information for each stock
Notes, such as whether a stock's information has been adjusted because it issued a stock dividend, or if its payment schedule is other than quarterly
Totals and averages for all the stocks
A chronology of all adds, deletes, and methodology adjustments since the DC list was first published in 2007
The DC list uses colors to flag special situations: It uses green to indicate that an increase announcement is expected in the next 30 days. It uses red to indicate that the last dividend increase was more than a year ago (i.e., that this stock is a candidate to be dropped from the list.)
The DC list drops stocks that freeze their dividend across two consecutive years. For example, Johnson Controls ( JCI ) is one of the companies noted earlier that S&P kept on its list even though their spreadsheet showed blanks for both 2008 and 2009 (i.e., no dividend increases). DRiP, on the other hand, noted in its chronology that Johnson Controls was dropped in 9/2009 because "4 divs. pd. 2009 = 2008."
Finally, the DC list includes an addendum of "contenders," companies that have recorded at least 15 but less than 25 years of dividend growth. Thus, DC is really a source for companies that have increased their dividends for 15 years or more I have seen it said that business cycles typically last for 3-8 years. Therefore, a company with a 15-year history of dividend growth has maintained that record through at least two business cycles, while a company with 25 straight years has done it through at least three cycles. Each is an impressive achievement.
Notes on Use: In my opinion, either list should be used only as a starting point for doing your own due diligence. As many banks proved in 2008-09, just because a company has raised its dividend many years in a row does not mean that it has the financial wherewithal to keep doing so. Some financial institutions raised their dividends (and repurchased shares) just months before failing. Utilize a method for determining the financial soundness of a company, and the sustainability of its business model, before investing in it for increasing dividends. I modestly suggest the method laid out in my own The Top 40 Dividend Stocks for 2010: How to Generate Wealth or Income from Dividend Stocks .
Also, just because a company has been raising its dividend for many years does not mean that it has a good yield. If you have a threshold minimum yield of 2.5% or 3%, some of these companies will not meet it. For example, Parker-Hannifin (52-year streak) yields 1.8% at the moment. Tootsie Roll (44 years) yields 1.2%.
Company Comparison: The following table compares the two lists. It shows vividly the difference between them as sources for 25-year dividend raisers. You will note that just one company-Supervalu-appears on the DA list and not on the DC list. The company cut its dividend last October; it is not clear why S&P kept it on the DA list for 2010.

29718.0 | 2023-12-16 23:00:00 UTC | Are You Dedicated to Dividends? If So, You'll Know This Answer. | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/are-you-dedicated-to-dividends-if-so-youll-know-this-answer. | nan | nan | If you are a serious dividend investor, then you know the answer to this question:
How much dividend income are you going to make in 2024?
In other words, what are your projected dividends next year?
If you don't know, then you're not as dedicated to dividends as you thought. Disappointing, but fixable with Income Calendar.
And please, don't tell me I'm being hard on you. If that's the way you feel, then this is the tough love that you need. Your wakeup call for 2024.
It's time to treat your dividend investing like a business. Because it is.
And hey, I get it. We're rolling into 2024. Nobody wants to mess with tedious spreadsheets like these anymore:
C'mon man. We have enough going on. Life is too short to spend it updating spreadsheets!
Unfortunately, AI, despite all the hype, ain't there yet. Last week I introduced you to my new friend Pi--a tool in the spirit of ChatGPT, but one with current information.
(ChatGPT can't even tell us what the bond market returned this year. That's a serious limitation.)
I let Pi ride shotgun for the writing of last week's column. But sadly, Pi stumbled when I asked a basic question about Arbor Realty Trust's (ABR) 2024 dividend:
Source: Pi.ai
C'mon, Pi. If I wanted lawyer speak, I'd call my own counsel! Plus, I need to teach you about Arbor's dividend--that $0.43 is paid quarterly, not yearly.
The serious solution is Income Calendar, a tool we developed in-house to track dividends and project future payments. IC is like having a personal assistant, but better and more reliable. And much cheaper.
IC knows what Arbor actually paid in 2023. In fact, the tool sends me an email alert every time Arbor declares a dividend:
I can also see Arbor's dividend history for the last year, five years or ten years:
And--here's the cool part--see how Arbor's dividend fits within the context of my overall income for 2024:
12 Months of Projected Dividends via Income Calendar
How are we looking for January? We have $2,739.28 in dividends likely to drop into our brokerage account. This is the type of revenue projection that a savvy business owner knows.
January 2024 Dividend Projection: $2,739.28
Arbor won't be paying us until February. But we have plenty of potential payouts heading our way in this dividend portfolio:
January 2024 Income Projection Summary
IC even supports custom income events, such as social security checks or paychecks from actual labor. We can add our active wages with our passive dividends in one single tool.
And thanks to a new integration, it's never been easier to update our dividend tickers in Income Calendar. The tool can import stocks and funds from any premium Contrarian Outlook service. It can even sync up with your brokerage account to import stocks, funds and share counts!
Dividend projections require a combination of technology and craftmanship. We know what these stocks have paid. We are estimating our future payments down to the penny.
So, move over Pi and ChatGPT. And so long spreadsheets! We're doing the heavy dividend lifting with Income Calendar.
For the rest of the week, we are offering risk-free subscriptions to Income Calendar. Please take advantage of this offer before it's gone. Get started with Income Calendar here.

29720.0 | 2023-12-13 00:00:00 UTC | ABR Crosses Above Average Analyst Target | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abr-crosses-above-average-analyst-target | nan | nan | In recent trading, shares of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $15.00, changing hands for $15.70/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 6 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $12.50. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $18.50. The standard deviation is $2.645.
But the whole reason to look at the average ABR price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with ABR crossing above that average target price of $15.00/share, investors in ABR have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $15.00 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? Below is a table showing the current thinking of the analysts that cover Arbor Realty Trust Inc:

29721.0 | 2023-12-13 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Passes Through 11% Yield Mark | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-passes-through-11-yield-mark-2 | nan | nan | Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, in trading on Friday, shares of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) were yielding above the 11% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $1.72), with the stock changing hands as low as $15.24 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) back on 5/31/2000 — you would have paid $78.27 per share. Fast forward to 5/31/2012 and each share was worth $77.79 on that date, a loss of $0.48 or 0.6% decrease over twelve years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $10.77 per share in dividends over the same period, increasing your return to 13.15%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.0%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 11% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) is a member of the Russell 3000, giving it special status as one of the largest 3000 companies on the U.S. stock markets.
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Arbor Realty Trust Inc, looking at the history chart for ABR below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 11% annual yield.

29722.0 | 2023-12-12 00:00:00 UTC | Unlock $10,000 in Passive Income With These 3 Stocks | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/unlock-%2410000-in-passive-income-with-these-3-stocks | nan | nan | InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
A formidable trio is worth looking for for investors looking for stable passive income. The first on the list has exceptional return on equity (ROE) and dividend growth, coupled with the second one’s resilience amid challenges and consistent distribution hikes, forming a resilient backbone. The third one’s strategic payout ratio and book value appreciation add allure.
A portfolio equally distributing investments across the three stocks could generate $10,000 in passive income annually with ~$112.5K invested. Assuming equal weights, there is ~$37.5K in each stock. The first one, at a 6.84% yield, would generate $2,565. Similarly, the second one, at a 7.64% yield, would produce $2,865. Finally, the third stock, at a 12.20% yield, would yield $4,575 in yearly income. The cumulative dividends from these stocks, considering equal weight and respective yields, sum up to ~$10K, meeting the passive income goal.

Main Street Capital (MAIN)
Source: Pavel3d/ShutterStock.com
Main Street Capital (NYSE:MAIN) demonstrates exceptional ROE figures. For instance, in Q3 2023, ROE stands at 17.9% and 18.2% for the trailing 12-month period. This strong performance at this metric suggests the efficient use of shareholder funds to generate income.
Additionally, the net asset value (NAV) per share increased by 2.3% sequentially and 9.2% year-over-year. The impact of fair value increases in the investment portfolio, the accretive effects of equity issuances, and the retention of excess net investment income (NII) per share above total dividends paid collectively contributed to the growth in NAV. The growth highlights the company’s progressive investment strategies and value appreciation in its portfolio. Main Street boasts a highly diversified investment portfolio, spanning 195 companies across more than 50 industries, including lower middle market, private loan, and middle market portfolios.
Main Street’s dividend coverage ratio is a key metric reflecting its ability to cover dividend payments from its earnings. The distributable net investment income (DNII) surpassed the monthly dividends paid to shareholders by 51% and the total dividends paid by 8% in Q3. Thus, this robust dividend coverage ratio suggests that the company’s earnings adequately cover its dividend obligations. Fundamentally, it provides reassurance about the sustainability of dividends.
Main Street has exhibited consistent dividend growth over time. It declared a ninth consecutive quarterly supplemental dividend, representing a significant 35% increase beyond regular dividends. Lastly, the company announced a 6.7% increase in regular monthly dividends for Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023. Therefore, these consistent dividend increases signify Main Street’s focus on returning value to its shareholders.
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD)

Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD) faced several operational challenges. They include record heat-affected processing plant throughput, operational issues at PDH plants, and low natural gas and NGL prices. Despite these adversities, Enterprise Products Partners achieved noteworthy operational milestones and handled record volumes across its midstream system.
Fundamentally, Enterprise Products Partners has a diverse portfolio across midstream segments and plays a crucial role in mitigating the impact of challenges. The portfolio includes liquid pipelines, natural gas pipelines, NGL fractionators, and marine terminals. The company can transport 12.2 million barrels of crude oil equivalent daily and export various hydrocarbons. This highlights the company’s operational strength and adaptability to market fluctuations.
Additionally, Enterprise Products Partners has made substantial capital investments to build a solid growth momentum, focusing on growth projects totaling $2.3 billion in the first three quarters of 2023. It forecasts significant growth in capital expenditures for 2023 ($3 billion) and maintains a balanced approach to capital allocation. Interestingly, the company manages its debt prudently, with a weighted average cost of debt of 4.6% and a high percentage of fixed-rate debt.
Strategically, Enterprise Products Partners demonstrated a proactive approach toward expansion and growth. The company plans to build two additional 300 million cubic feet-per-day processing plants in the Permian Basin, further expanding its infrastructure. Further, they unveiled plans for converting the Seminole crude oil pipeline back to NGL service and announced the Bahia 30-inch NGL pipeline, enhancing NGL takeaway capacity.
Lastly, Enterprise Products Partners demonstrated consistent distribution growth (25 consecutive years). For instance, it has announced a 5.3% increase in distributions for Q3 2023 compared to Q3 2022. Therefore, the company showcased a disciplined approach to buyback programs, reducing the common unit count without significant asset sales.
Arbor Realty Trust (ABR)

Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE:ABR) maintains a progressive dividend payout ratio. As of Q3 2023, the ratio is approximately 78%, indicating that a substantial portion of its earnings remain available for reinvestment, with the remaining being critical for financial stability and a growth strategy.
At a broader level, maintaining a lower payout ratio in an industry context indicates the company’s confidence in its ability to generate consistent earnings while sustaining shareholder dividends. This fundamental suggests that Arbor Realty Trust’s business model is designed to generate earnings that surpass dividend payments. As a result, this is providing a shield for potential market fluctuations.
In detail, in Q3 2023, Arbor Realty Trust reported distributable earnings of $0.55 per share and an 18% ROE. Such a high ROE suggests that Arbor Realty Trust generated a significant return on the equity invested by its shareholders, indicating operational efficiency and effective utilization of available capital.
Arbor Realty Trust’s effective management of its balance sheet, as demonstrated by recouping approximately $100 million of capital and originating $1.1 billion of loans in the GSE/Agency Business. Recouping invested capital while originating new loans signifies a dynamic approach to managing its loan portfolio.
Additionally, Arbor Realty Trust’s significant book value appreciation, experiencing approximately 40% growth over three years from around $9 to nearly $13 per share, indicates its solid underlying asset performance. This substantial appreciation implies that Arbor Realty Trust’s assets have increased in value over time. This is due to factors such as improved market conditions, effective management of risks, or progressive investments.
Overall, a rising book value per share boosts shareholders’ increased ownership value. Therefore, this suggests the company can create shareholder value and attract further investment interest.

29723.0 | 2023-12-08 00:00:00 UTC | March 2024 Options Now Available For Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/march-2024-options-now-available-for-arbor-realty-trust-abr | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options begin trading today, for the March 2024 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 98 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new March 2024 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $13.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.30. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $13.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $11.70 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $13.69/share today.
Because the $13.00 strike represents an approximate 5% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 10.00% return on the cash commitment, or 37.26% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $13.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $14.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.05. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $13.69/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $14.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 9.93% if the stock gets called away at the March 2024 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ABR shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ABR's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $14.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $14.00 strike represents an approximate 2% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 7.67% boost of extra return to the investor, or 28.58% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $13.69) to be 40%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29726.0 | 2023-12-06 00:00:00 UTC | Rich Exec or Basement Blogger? Easy Call on This 12.8% Yield | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/rich-exec-or-basement-blogger-easy-call-on-this-12.8-yield | nan | nan | The Internet is a wild place--and finally, we have irrefutable evidence! I mean, why else would investors dump this safe 12.8% dividend?
Hilariously, they are already feeling FOMO. After selling this stock low, it jumped 7.7% without them last Friday alone. Wow.
A basement blogger decided to pick on Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) in recent weeks. No name, no face, but hey, they whipped up a nifty little PDF saying they were short ABR, so we all should be too.
(Note: We don't hate short sellers. In a world where every first-level investor wants to hear only the good news--true or not!--thoughtful, analytical, and careful short sellers provide a much-needed service. The catch here? Not one of those terms applies to our basement blogger.)
Others have already boarded this short bus. ABR has its swath of nonbelievers, with 29% of its outstanding shares sold short. Which tells us two things.
There are others--perhaps more basement bloggers--who doubt this dividend.
They are paying through the nose to short the stock. Even if the bloggers themselves are broke (they usually are), someone is paying 12.8% per year for the right to bet on an ABR decline.
Remember, short sellers are borrowing shares to sell now, hoping to buy them back ("cover") later, at a lower price. Which is fine, except when we're borrowing a dividend stock, we're on the hook for the payout. Which, in ABR's case, is 12.8%. (Plus the cost of the margin loan required for shorting!)
But Brett, you're probably thinking, how can this many people be wrong about a stock?
Well, first, it happens all of the time. Investing herds behave like, well, herds. They follow each other without thinking.
Which feels safe but becomes dangerous as groupthink devolves into a short squeeze. As in oops we were wrong, we all need to cover (buy back our shares) at once.
The race to the exits sends the stock higher thanks to panic buying. Which is a thing too. (Remember GameStop?)
A potential catalyst for this upcoming purchase panic? How about big insider buying from the big boss himself! I'm talking about the company's own Founder CEO doubling down after the dip.
But actually Arbor's boss Ivan Kaufman isn't just doubling down. He's hit four times over the past two months, adding a cool $1,550,757.67 to his personal ABR position:
Arbor CEO Buys the Dip 4X
This brings Kaufman's personal stake in ABR shares to nearly $13 million. The stock yields 12.8% as I write, which means our man is banking $1.6 million per year in his own dividends.
Kaufman founded Arbor 40 years ago as a lender for single-family mortgages. True to its name, the company sent every new homeowner a tree at loan closing!
In the 1990s, Arbor expanded its lending to multifamily and commercial properties. It found a "sweet spot" in loans between $1 and $5 million - too small for the big players, too big for the small players, but plenty profitable for Arbor in between. Arbor eventually sold its residential business to Bank of America in the 1990s to focus exclusively on this perennially underserved market.
Arbor has been named top small loan lender by partners such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae who have praised the firm for treating its small loans with the same importance as its large customers.
This was the first of many smart business pivots for Arbor. Founder Ivan is our type of entrepreneur. He still runs the company, and he's always looking ahead.
Mortgage rates recently hit 23-year highs. Fortunately, Arbor is long gone from the residential lending business!
It's also diversified away from commercial real estate. Which, quite frankly, is the reason the stock is so cheap today. "Going to the office" will never be the same after Covid. But Arbor is wrongly lumped with commercial lenders and landlords. It doesn't plant in that forest.
Smartly, Arbor has had these cash flow diversification wheels in motion for some time. In the mid 2010s the company made a particularly big bet. At the time, Arbor was only valued at $325 million. Ivan threw down a chunk of change--$250 million!--to purchase a commercial mortgage-lending agency and its in-house technology platform.
Ivan didn't have much margin for error acquiring something close to Arbor's size. Fortunately, he knew what he was doing. The technology belonged to Arbor Commercial Mortgage, an independent company the big boss had previously spun off from the mothership in 2004. He knew what he was buying, inside and out!
It was a smart move because it created a new stream of loan servicing income. This grew to one-third of Arbor's total sales in just two years--a diversified and protected income stream.
Today, Ivan refers to this as Arbor's service income annuity. It amounts to $240 million of annual profits, which equates to $1.20 per share.
ABR's quarterly dividend is $0.43 per share. This annuity covers two-thirds of the annual payout off the bat.
Plus, the company still makes money lending. When we initially added Arbor to Contrarian Income Report in 2018, we admired the Arbor's loan portfolio:
Its own loan portfolio is now short duration (two to five years), which means ABR is positioned to make more money as rates rise. (It won't be stuck holding the low-interest long-term loan bag!)
This was clutch in 2022 when rates finally began to rise for the first time in a long time. In total, the company earned $0.57 per share last quarter--plenty to cover its payout.
ABR has a comfortable 75% payout ratio. Plus, it doesn't have to reinvest excess profits to grow: the biz is all human capital and computers.
Most importantly, Kaufman is the man. He stared down the end of the traditional office and smartly pivoted ABR away from commercial real estate. Just in time.
Is ABR perfect? Of course not. Some of the "short research" cherry picks negative Google and Yelp reviews of Arbor's properties. Which, without context, seems worrisome. But my bet is that Kaufman knows where his corporate weaknesses are, which is why he shelled out another $1.5 million of his own money to take advantage of his low stock price and big dividend.
ABR not only pays 12.8% today, but also the company raised its payout twelve out of the last fourteen quarters for a cumulative increase of 43%. Forty-three percent!
Would you get in the way of this freight train, and pay 12.8% per year to bet against it? No way. We contrarians will gladly take the other side of this trade.
Sorry, basement blogosphere--we're with Kaufman.

29729.0 | 2023-11-30 00:00:00 UTC | Should You Hold AGNC Investment (AGNC) for Its Dividend Yield? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/should-you-hold-agnc-investment-agnc-for-its-dividend-yield | nan | nan | With the ongoing economic uncertainty, the focus has shifted to investing in quality companies with a consistent track of paying dividends. Obviously, this brings us to the REITs because solid dividend payouts are arguably the biggest enticements for REIT investors. One such REIT is AGNC Investment Corp. AGNC.
Income-seeking investors still have a large appetite for REIT stocks, as U.S. law requires REITs to distribute 90% of their annual taxable income in the form of dividends. As for AGNC, the company has a record of paying monthly dividends. Since its IPO through Oct 15, 2023, the mREIT has paid out dividends of $46.84 per share.
Amid the pandemic-led market volatility, in April 2020, the company slashed its dividend to 12 cents from 16 cents paid out earlier, and has continued to pay the same amount in later periods.
On Nov 8, 2023, AGNC Investment announced a dividend of 12 cents per share for November 2023. The dividend will be paid out on Dec 11 to shareholders of record as of Nov 30, 2023.
Considering the Nov 29 closing price of $8.95 per share, AGNC’s current dividend yield is 16.1%. This is impressive compared with the industry’s average of 11.5% and attracts investors as it represents a steady income stream.
AGNC Investment Corp. Dividend Yield (TTM)
AGNC Investment Corp. dividend-yield-ttm | AGNC Investment Corp. Quote
Dividends aside, AGNC has a share repurchase plan in place. In 2022 and 2021, the company repurchased 4.7 million shares and 17.7 million shares for $51 million and $281 million, respectively. With no repurchases done in the first nine months of 2023, $1 billion remained under this program for repurchase through Dec 31, 2024.
The buyback program will enable it to respond to the volatility in its stock and boost shareholders’ wealth.
Also, AGNC Investment enjoys a decent financial position. It has solid access to attractive funding across a broad spectrum of counterparties and financing conditions. As a result, it has flexibility in the opportunistic enhancement of its portfolio. AGNC Investment’s liquidity as of Sep 30, 2023, including cash and unencumbered Agency assets, was $3.6 billion.
Operating at a conservative leverage level, in anticipation of any spread widening, will enable the company to deploy capital in investment opportunities in the upcoming period and sustain dividend payments.
This aside, the long-term investment outlook for its new Agency MBS investments remains positive due to wider spreads and higher expected demand. Moreover, as the Fed gradually slows the pace of rate hikes, interest rate volatility will decrease and create a favorable macroeconomic backdrop for Agency MBS investments.
Hence, with $55.9 billion of Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in its investment portfolio (as of Sep 30, 2023), AGNC Investment is expected to enjoy attractive risk-adjusted returns within the fixed-income markets.
However, market conditions are likely to be challenging in the near term with monetary policy tightening, whereas spread widening may affect book value. Robust returns are expected to remain elusive as risk management needs to be prioritized.
Over the past year, shares of AGNC have declined 11.1% compared with the industry’s fall of 13.7%.

29730.0 | 2023-11-30 00:00:00 UTC | ABR January 2024 Options Begin Trading | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abr-january-2024-options-begin-trading | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options begin trading today, for the January 2024 expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new January 2024 contracts and identified the following put contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $12.00 strike price has a current bid of 50 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $12.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $11.50 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $12.46/share today.
Because the $12.00 strike represents an approximate 4% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 4.17% return on the cash commitment, or 35.37% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $12.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $12.46) to be 39%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29732.0 | 2023-11-22 00:00:00 UTC | Interesting ABR Put And Call Options For January 2024 | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/interesting-abr-put-and-call-options-for-january-2024 | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options begin trading today, for the January 2024 expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new January 2024 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $12.00 strike price has a current bid of 75 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $12.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $11.25 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $12.20/share today.
Because the $12.00 strike represents an approximate 2% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 6.25% return on the cash commitment, or 51.85% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $12.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $13.00 strike price has a current bid of 30 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $12.20/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $13.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 9.02% if the stock gets called away at the January 2024 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ABR shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ABR's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $13.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $13.00 strike represents an approximate 7% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.46% boost of extra return to the investor, or 20.40% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $12.20) to be 39%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29733.0 | 2023-11-21 00:00:00 UTC | ABR August 2026 Options Begin Trading | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abr-august-2026-options-begin-trading | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options become available today, for the August 2026 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 1004 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new August 2026 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $5.00 strike price has a current bid of 10 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $5.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $4.90 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $12.40/share today.
Because the $5.00 strike represents an approximate 60% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.00% return on the cash commitment, or 0.73% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $5.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $15.00 strike price has a current bid of 10 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $12.40/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $15.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 21.77% if the stock gets called away at the August 2026 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ABR shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ABR's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $15.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $15.00 strike represents an approximate 21% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.81% boost of extra return to the investor, or 0.29% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $12.40) to be 39%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29734.0 | 2023-11-21 00:00:00 UTC | Insider Buy Alert: CEO Just Grabbed 10,000 Shares of This 13% Payer | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/insider-buy-alert%3A-ceo-just-grabbed-10000-shares-of-this-13-payer | nan | nan | A key insider has quietly snapped up 10,000 shares of his 13%-yielding stock. And we contrarian income seekers are putting the ticker on our buy list, too.
That's because insider buying really is the ultimate "buy alert." Legendary value investor Peter Lynch said it best:
"Insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they only buy for one: they think the price will rise."
Heck, I can almost see my regular readers nodding along to this one. We've talked about it again and again in my Contrarian Income Report service. In fact, we'd go one step further than Lynch:
Insiders buy because they think the dividend will rise, too.
Which brings me to the news that crossed my desk last week: that Ivan Kaufman, who founded Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) 40 years ago, and is still CEO today, recently dropped $124,000 to pick up about 10,000 common shares of the stock.
That brought his total direct holding in the real-estate lender to 1,033,412 common shares. With each of those shares dishing $0.43 in quarterly dividends, that amounts to a $444,000 payout every quarter.
Talk about living on dividends alone! Ivan has far more than enough for most of us to pull that off in one quarter's worth of dividends--from just one holding!
So we won't expect to see Ivan on our CIR subscriber list anytime soon. But those of us who aren't CEOs of $2.6-billion companies can benefit by riding along with Ivan's latest buy.
Because he knows what we know: Arbor--a holding in our CIR portfolio, is cheap. And, of course, it yields that 13% I mentioned a second ago, too.
And that 13% payout has been growing, too:
Arbor: The Rare Double-Digit Dividend That Grows
When a divvy yields double digits and zooms up 231% in a decade, it has our attention. Especially when the share price and payout part company, as is clearly the case here. As we've discussed previously, a rising dividend acts like a magnet on a company's share price. So when we see a gap between a stock and its "Dividend Magnet," we know it means "baked in" upside for us.
As the price gains, the current yield will fall, so if you want to make sure you're getting that 13% payout in full, this is the time to buy and "lock in."
A "Mislabeled" Lender
Arbor is one of those companies that often gets tossed out because investors misunderstand its business: founder Kaufman set Arbor up as a lender for single-family mortgages. True to its name, Arbor sent every new homeowner a tree at loan closing!
In the 1990s, Arbor expanded its lending to multifamily and commercial properties. It found a "sweet spot" in loans between $1 million and $5 million--too small for the big players, too big for the small players, but plenty profitable for Arbor.
This was the first of many smart business pivots for Arbor. Ivan is our type of entrepreneur. He's always looking ahead.
Mortgage rates have pulled back a bit with bond yields, but they're still near 23-year highs. Fortunately, Arbor is long gone from the residential-lending business, having sold its residential operation to Bank of America (BAC) in 1995. Today, it favors much more profitable multifamily lending.
It's also diversified away from commercial real estate. Which, quite frankly, is the reason the stock is so cheap. "Going to the office" will never be the same after COVID. But Arbor is lumped with commercial lenders and landlords--ridiculous given that these loans make up just 1% of its overall portfolio:
Source: Arbor Realty Trust third-quarter fact sheet
In the mid 2010s the company bought a commercial mortgage-lending agency and its in-house technology platform. It was another canny "insider" move, as Arbor had spun off this business in 2004, so Ivan was already familiar with it.
It was also a smart move because it created a new stream of loan-servicing income--a steady, long-duration business. This grew to one-third of Arbor's total sales in just two years--a diversified and protected income stream!
Today, Ivan refers to this as Arbor's service income annuity. It amounts to about $240 million of annual profits, which equates to $1.20 per share.
ABR's quarterly dividend is $0.43 per share. This annuity covers two-thirds of it off the bat. Throw in the money it still makes lending and ABR has a comfortable, for a real estate investment trust (REIT), 78% payout ratio, based on its latest distributable earnings and quarterly payout.
No wonder Ivan's buying now. Further payout growth would steadily build on the 13% "starter yield" on a buy made now.
23 More Big Dividends That Are Still Cheap (for Now!)
I've got even more coverage of Arbor, plus 23 other high yielders, for you in Contrarian Income Report. Those 24 holdings reside in the service's portfolio, which yields a stout 8.8% on average today!

JBG SMITH Properties will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.225 on 12/1/23, Arbor Realty Trust Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.43 on 11/30/23, and Tpg Inc - Class A will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.48 on 12/1/23. As a percentage of JBGS's recent stock price of $13.68, this dividend works out to approximately 1.64%, so look for shares of JBG SMITH Properties to trade 1.64% lower — all else being equal — when JBGS shares open for trading on 11/16/23. Similarly, investors should look for ABR to open 3.20% lower in price and for TPG to open 1.46% lower, all else being equal.
Below are dividend history charts for JBGS, ABR, and TPG, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent ones declared.
JBG SMITH Properties (Symbol: JBGS):
Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR):
Tpg Inc - Class A (Symbol: TPG):
In general, dividends are not always predictable, following the ups and downs of company profits over time. Therefore, a good first due diligence step in forming an expectation of annual yield going forward, is looking at the history above, for a sense of stability over time. This can help in judging whether the most recent dividends from these companies are likely to continue. If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 6.58% for JBG SMITH Properties, 12.80% for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and 5.85% for Tpg Inc - Class A.
In Tuesday trading, JBG SMITH Properties shares are currently up about 6.8%, Arbor Realty Trust Inc shares are up about 3.5%, and Tpg Inc - Class A shares are up about 2.4% on the day.

29737.0 | 2023-11-13 00:00:00 UTC | Is ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) a Strong ETF Right Now? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-proshares-russell-2000-dividend-growers-etf-smdv-a-strong-etf-right-now-9 | nan | nan | Making its debut on 02/03/2015, smart beta exchange traded fund ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) provides investors broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Value category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
Market cap weighted indexes were created to reflect the market, or a specific segment of the market, and the ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on this strategy.
Market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, and are a good option for investors who believe in market efficiency.
If you're the kind of investor who would rather try and beat the market through good stock selection, then smart beta funds are your best choice; this fund class is known for tracking non-cap weighted strategies.
Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
Fund Sponsor & Index
The fund is sponsored by Proshares. It has amassed assets over $730.18 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Small Cap Value. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the Russell 2000 Dividend Growth Index before fees and expenses.
The Russell 2000 Dividend Growth Index targets companies that are currently members of the Russell 2000 Index and have increased dividend payments each year for at least 10 years.
Cost & Other Expenses
Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long-term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins, other things remaining the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.40%, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
SMDV's 12-month trailing dividend yield is 2.97%.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has lost about -7.09% so far this year and is down about -10.44% in the last one year (as of 11/13/2023). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $53.56 and $66.96.
The ETF has a beta of 0.80 and standard deviation of 18.88% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 102 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Small Cap Value segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.
IShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) tracks Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index and the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) tracks NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index. IShares Core Dividend Growth ETF has $23.55 billion in assets, Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF has $68.13 billion. DGRO has an expense ratio of 0.08% and VIG charges 0.06%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Small Cap Value.

29738.0 | 2023-11-02 00:00:00 UTC | This Stock Has A 13.87% Yield And Sells For Less Than Book | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/this-stock-has-a-13.87-yield-and-sells-for-less-than-book | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) has been named as a Top 10 Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), according to Dividend Channel, which published its most recent ''DividendRank'' report. The report noted that among REITs, ABR shares displayed both attractive valuation metrics and strong profitability metrics. For example, the recent ABR share price of $12.40 represents a price-to-book ratio of 0.9 and an annual dividend yield of 13.87% — by comparison, the average stock in Dividend Channel's coverage universe yields 4.5% and trades at a price-to-book ratio of 2.3. The report also cited the strong quarterly dividend history at Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and favorable long-term multi-year growth rates in key fundamental data points.
The report stated, ''Dividend investors approaching investing from a value standpoint are generally most interested in researching the strongest most profitable companies, that also happen to be trading at an attractive valuation. That's what we aim to find using our proprietary DividendRank formula, which ranks the coverage universe based upon our various criteria for both profitability and valuation, to generate a list of the top most 'interesting' stocks, meant for investors as a source of ideas that merit further research.''
REITs hold a special place in the hearts of dividend investors, because they must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income each year to shareholders as dividends. While this can make for a high dividend yield, it also introduces some volatility and uncertainty into the level of payments from year to year — huge dividend payouts are common when a REIT turns large profits, versus smaller payouts or even periods of no dividends in times of losses.
The current annualized dividend paid by Arbor Realty Trust Inc is $1.72/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend has an upcoming ex-date of 11/16/2023. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for ABR, which the report stressed as being of key importance. Indeed, studying a company's past dividend history can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

29739.0 | 2023-11-01 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust Named Top Dividend Stock With Insider Buying and 13.64% Yield (ABR) | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-named-top-dividend-stock-with-insider-buying-and-13.64-yield-abr | nan | nan | In this series, we look through the most recent Dividend Channel ''DividendRank'' report, and then we cherry pick only those companies that have experienced insider buying within the past six months. The officers and directors of a company tend to have a unique insider's view of the business, and presumably the only reason an insider would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So when stocks turn up that see insider buying, and are also top ranked, investors are wise to take notice. One such company is Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR), which saw buying by Director William C. Green.
Back on June 1, Green invested $112,541.83 into 8,776 shares of ABR, for a cost per share of $12.82. In trading on Wednesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) and achieve a cost basis 5.3% cheaper than Green, with shares changing hands as low as $12.14 per share. It should be noted that Green has collected $0.43/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently down 2.0% on their purchase from a total return basis. Arbor Realty Trust Inc shares are currently trading -1.75% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of ABR shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, ABR's low point in its 52 week range is $10.10 per share, with $17.74 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $12.37. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which insider buying was recorded over the last six months:
PURCHASED INSIDER TITLE SHARES PRICE/SHARE VALUE
05/08/2023 Ivan Kaufman COB, CEO and President 15,000 $11.98 $179,750.00
06/01/2023 William C. Green Director 8,776 $12.82 $112,541.83
The DividendRank report noted that among the coverage universe, ABR shares displayed both attractive valuation metrics and strong profitability metrics. For example, the recent ABR share price of $12.61 represents a price-to-book ratio of 1.0 and an annual dividend yield of 13.64% — by comparison, the average company in Dividend Channel's coverage universe yields 5.1% and trades at a price-to-book ratio of 1.7.

29741.0 | 2023-10-26 00:00:00 UTC | Can Arbor Realty (ABR) Retain Its Beat Streak in Q3 Earnings? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/can-arbor-realty-abr-retain-its-beat-streak-in-q3-earnings | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust ABR is scheduled to report third-quarter 2023 results on Oct 27, before market open. The company is expected to have witnessed year-over-year growth in net interest income, whereas its earnings are anticipated to have declined.
In the last reported quarter, the New York-headquartered real estate investment trust (REIT), which primarily focuses on originating and servicing loans for multi-family, single-family and other commercial real estate assets, posted a distributable EPS of 57 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents. Net servicing revenues were $32.3 million in the quarter.
Over the trailing four quarters, Arbor Realty surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate on all four occasions, the average surprise being 28.6%. The graph below depicts this surprise history:
Arbor Realty Trust Price and EPS Surprise
Arbor Realty Trust price-eps-surprise | Arbor Realty Trust Quote
Factors at Play
The mREIT sector was under pressure in the third quarter due to high volatility in the fixed-income markets and the wide spread between the 30-year Agency MBS and 10-year treasury rate. This is expected to have affected the book values of the industry players.
New Agency loan originations in the third quarter are expected to have expanded the company’s fee-based servicing portfolio, driving servicing revenues. The consensus mark for third-quarter 2023 net servicing revenues is pegged at $33.16 million, indicating a 2.5% sequential rise.
Arbor Realty’s diversified investment focus on commercial real estate debt investments, mortgage servicing and commercial mortgage-backed securities is likely to have enabled it to generate stable income in the third quarter despite the challenging economic environment.
Also, in the to-be-reported quarter, mortgage rates continued to rise, with the rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage reaching 7.31% in September, the highest level in nearly 23 years. Thus, mortgage originations and refinancing continued to decline in the quarter.
Lower levels of refinancing are anticipated to have reduced prepayment speed and driven asset yields. This is anticipated to have boosted net interest income in the quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s quarterly net interest income is pegged at $329.1 million, suggesting an improvement of 26.7% on a year-over-year basis.
In the third quarter, the Federal Reserve increased policy rates by another 25 basis points, with the rates reaching a 22-year high of 5-5.25%. This is likely to have increased funding costs for ABR in the third quarter.
Also, the consensus estimate for third-quarter revenues from mortgage servicing rights is pinned at $14.1 million, suggesting a 13% sequential decline.
Lastly, there was a lack of any solid catalyst that could instill optimism prior to the third-quarter earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has been revised marginally downward to 48 cents over the past month, suggesting a year-over-year decline of 14.3%.

29742.0 | 2023-10-25 00:00:00 UTC | ‘Stay Cautious,’ Says Billionaire Leon Cooperman About the Stock Market — Here Are 2 High-Yield Dividend Stocks He’s Using for Protection | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/stay-cautious-says-billionaire-leon-cooperman-about-the-stock-market-here-are-2-high-yield | nan | nan | For most of this year, investor sentiment was high, and the markets were on an upward tear. But that sputtered to a halt at the end of the summer, and this fall has seen a pullback in the main indexes. We’re still up for the year-to-date, but not by as much as we were in July. At this writing, the S&P 500’s year-to-date gain is 9%, and the NASDAQ’s is 22%.
It is most accurate to say that current conditions are volatile and unsettled. Both the bulls and bears can find plenty of evidence and precedent to back up their claims. The result: confusion among investors, who just aren’t sure where to go from here.
Leon Cooperman, the billionaire investor and hedge manager who got his start at Goldman Sachs and now runs Omega Advisors, takes a more moderate stance. Urging caution for investors, Cooperman has stated his belief that the S&P 500 is overvalued now, and will likely face a downturn in the near future.
“I don't think we're in a bubble; I think we're in a rolling correction,” Cooperman has said, and he’s added that it will “take a long time for us to work out the problems.” The S&P hit its last peak, near 4,800, in January of last year, and Cooperman thinks it will take a long while before it can climb back to that level.
So, a cautious mind set is required and that will lead us to dividend stocks. These are the stocks that will ensure a steady income no matter the day-to-day market swings and protect the portfolio against any incoming volatility.
Turning to Cooperman for more inspiration, we took a closer look at two high-yield dividend stocks in which the billionaire investor has placed his trust. Here are the details.

Energy Transfer
First up, Energy Transfer is a major player in the North American midstream sector, the vital segment of the energy industry that connects oil and natural gas producers with their end customers. Midstream companies operate networks of pipelines, transport assets, storage facilities, and terminal facilities, moving hydrocarbons and refined products to where they are needed. Energy Transfer has operations in 41 states, plus international offices in Panama City, Panama, and Beijing, China.
The company’s core operations include the transport, storage, and terminalling of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and refined hydrocarbon products. Energy Transfer’s two largest areas of operation are centered in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, and in the Great Lakes-Mid Atlantic regions. ET’s network includes gathering facilities, fractionation facilities, pipelines, processing plants, and import/export terminals.
Energy Transfer is a dominant player in the midstream sector, boasting a market cap of $43 billion, and this past summer, the company completed a move that will expand its market share and footprint. In August, Energy Transfer and Crestwood announced an acquisition agreement; ET will fully acquire Crestwood and its assets. The transaction, which will be conducted wholly in stock, is valued at nearly $7.1 billion and is expected to close in early November.
Also in early November, Energy Transfer will release its 3Q23 financial results. Looking back at the Q2 results, we find that the company had a top line of $18.3 billion, a result that was down 29% year-over-year and missed the forecast by over $2 billion. The midstream company’s bottom-line EPS, at 25 cents per diluted share, missed the estimates by 7 cents. For Q3, the Street is expecting ET to show $20.4 billion in revenue and 25 cents per share in earnings.
One recent metric that bodes well for return-minded investors comes from the company’s dividend. ET, on October 20, announced a modest increase in the common share dividend payment, from 31 cents to 31.25 cents. The new payment will go out on November 20; at the new rate, the dividend annualizes to $1.25 per common share and yields 9%.
As for Leon Cooperman, he remains long and strong here. The billionaire investor holds an impressive 11,912,500 shares in ET, which are worth $163 million at current prices.
For Stifel analyst Selman Akyol, Energy Transfer is a company with high return potential going forward in a favorable commodity market environment. He writes of the stock, “Over the last several years ET has focused on reducing debt while finishing a campaign of large capital investments. With the upturn in the commodity environment and production on the rise across the US, Energy Transfer is poised to generate significant free cash flow. We believe investors will be well served by owning ET as demand for US energy increases around the globe... The set up for 2024 looks great for ET.”

Arbor Realty Trust
From energy, we’ll switch to another segment that is well known for perennial dividend champs: real estate investment trusts. The REITs are companies that acquire, own, lease out, and manage real properties – residential, commercial, industrial, and more – as well as invest in mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. They attract shareholders with strong profit-sharing policies, including high dividend yields.
Arbor Realty works in the commercial REIT segment, focusing on funding the development and building of multifamily residential projects. That is, the company provides commercial mortgages for developers and builders working on apartment complexes. Arbor is involved in multiple commercial property funding operations, and in addition to private loan funding also works with both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
As of June 30 this year, the end of 2Q23, Arbor’s fee-based loan servicing portfolio totaled $29.45 billion, with the bulk of that – slightly more than $20 billion – serviced through Fannie Mae. Arbor’s loan and investment portfolio had an unpaid principal balance of $13.49 billion and had an average current interest pay rate of 8.76%.
This portfolio activity generated a net interest income for Arbor of $108.5 million in Q2, up 15% year-over-year and $9.7 million better than had been expected. The company’s bottom line, a non-GAAP distributable earnings per diluted share, came to 57 cents, beating the forecast by 12 cents. Arbor will report its Q3 results on October 27, and the Street is looking for 47 cents per share in distributable earnings and $98.35 million in revenues.
The company last paid its common share dividend on August 31 at 43 cents per common share. This was up a penny from the previous quarter and was fully covered by the distributable earnings. The dividend’s annualized rate of $1.72 gives a forward yield of 12.5%.
Cooperman also has a big position here. He currently owns 3,454,694 shares of ABR, which command a market value of ~$45 million.
ABR also gets the support of Raymond James' 5-star analyst, Stephen Laws, who likes Arbor for both its dividend and its clear ability to cover that dividend.
“Our distributable earnings estimates are increasing, as the benefits of wider portfolio spreads and lower expenses more than offset the impact of more conservative portfolio growth assumptions. Our Outperform rating reflects the attractive portfolio characteristics (floating rate, primarily multifamily), business diversification, high earnings visibility provided by the agency segment, and strong dividend coverage,” Laws opined.
Laws uses this stance to support his Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating on the shares, and his $17 price target implies that ABR will gain ~31% in the coming year. Combined with the dividend yield, that return can reach ~43%. (To watch Laws’ track record, click here)
The rest of the Street is less confident, however; based on 1 Buy and Hold, each, plus 2 additional Sells, the stock has a Hold consensus rating. Yet, the $15.75 average target price suggests an upside of ~21% in the next 12 months. (See ABR stock forecast)

29743.0 | 2023-10-23 00:00:00 UTC | First Week of April 2024 Options Trading For Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/first-week-of-april-2024-options-trading-for-arbor-realty-trust-abr | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options begin trading this week, for the April 2024 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 179 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new April 2024 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $11.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.00. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $11.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $10.00 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $13.80/share today.
Because the $11.00 strike represents an approximate 20% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 9.09% return on the cash commitment, or 18.54% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $11.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $14.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.15. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $13.80/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $14.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 9.78% if the stock gets called away at the April 2024 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ABR shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ABR's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $14.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $14.00 strike represents an approximate 1% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 8.33% boost of extra return to the investor, or 16.99% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $13.80) to be 37%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29754.0 | 2023-09-26 00:00:00 UTC | Implied Volatility Surging for Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Stock Options | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/implied-volatility-surging-for-arbor-realty-trust-abr-stock-options | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. ABR need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Oct 20, 2023 $2.50 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Arbor Realty Trust shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Arbor Realty Trust is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the REIT and Equity Trust industry that ranks in the Bottom 22% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, three analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none have revised their estimates downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 48 cents per share to 49 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Arbor Realty Trust right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

29759.0 | 2023-09-15 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Recently Broke Out Above the 20-Day Moving Average | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-recently-broke-out-above-the-20-day-moving-average | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, ABR crossed above the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
The 20-day simple moving average is a popular trading tool. It provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period, and is beneficial to short-term traders since it smooths out price fluctuations and provides more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
The 20-day moving average can show signals that are similar to other SMAs as well. If a stock's price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.
Shares of ABR have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 5.6%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, suggesting that ABR could be poised for a continued surge.
The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account ABR's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 4 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on ABR for more gains in the near future.

29760.0 | 2023-09-13 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Passes Through 11% Yield Mark | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-passes-through-11-yield-mark-1 | nan | nan | Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, in trading on Wednesday, shares of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) were yielding above the 11% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $1.72), with the stock changing hands as low as $15.53 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) back on 5/31/2000 — you would have paid $78.27 per share. Fast forward to 5/31/2012 and each share was worth $77.79 on that date, a loss of $0.48 or 0.6% decrease over twelve years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $10.77 per share in dividends over the same period, increasing your return to 13.15%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.0%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 11% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) is a member of the Russell 3000, giving it special status as one of the largest 3000 companies on the U.S. stock markets.
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Arbor Realty Trust Inc, looking at the history chart for ABR below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 11% annual yield.

29762.0 | 2023-09-06 00:00:00 UTC | Is ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) a Strong ETF Right Now? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-proshares-russell-2000-dividend-growers-etf-smdv-a-strong-etf-right-now-8 | nan | nan | The ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) made its debut on 02/03/2015, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund that provides broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Value category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
The ETF industry has long been dominated by products based on market cap weighted indexes, a strategy created to reflect the market or a particular market segment.
Market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, and are a good option for investors who believe in market efficiency.
There are some investors, though, who think it's possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.
Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics.
This area offers many different investment choices, such as simplest equal-weighting, fundamental weighting and volatility/momentum based weighting methodologies; however, not all of these strategies can deliver superior results.
Fund Sponsor & Index
Because the fund has amassed over $809.16 million, this makes it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Small Cap Value. SMDV is managed by Proshares. Before fees and expenses, this particular fund seeks to match the performance of the Russell 2000 Dividend Growth Index.
The Russell 2000 Dividend Growth Index targets companies that are currently members of the Russell 2000 Index and have increased dividend payments each year for at least 10 years.
Cost & Other Expenses
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.40% for SMDV, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
The fund has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.73%.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has lost about -2.08% so far this year and it's up approximately 1.62% in the last one year (as of 09/06/2023). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $55.50 and $66.96.
The fund has a beta of 0.79 and standard deviation of 19.76% for the trailing three-year period, which makes SMDV a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 103 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Small Cap Value segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well.
IShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) tracks Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index and the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) tracks NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index. IShares Core Dividend Growth ETF has $23.90 billion in assets, Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF has $68.76 billion. DGRO has an expense ratio of 0.08% and VIG charges 0.06%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Small Cap Value.

Analyst Price Forecast Suggests 11.83% Upside
As of August 2, 2023, the average one-year price target for Arbor Realty Trust is 16.83. The forecasts range from a low of 14.14 to a high of $19.95. The average price target represents an increase of 11.83% from its latest reported closing price of 15.05.

The projected annual revenue for Arbor Realty Trust is 381MM, a decrease of 45.91%. The projected annual non-GAAP EPS is 1.43.
Arbor Realty Trust Declares $0.43 Dividend
On July 28, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.43 per share ($1.72 annualized). Shareholders of record as of August 15, 2023 will receive the payment on August 31, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.42 per share.
At the current share price of $15.05 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 11.43%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 10.00%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.86 (n=236).
The current dividend yield is 0.50 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 0.91. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company's income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company's income is paid in a dividend. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend - not a healthy situation. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
The company's 3-Year dividend growth rate is 0.39%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.

Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So in this series we look at the largest insider buys by company directors over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $304K invested across 2 purchases by Ivan Kaufman, COB, CEO and President at Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR).

29766.0 | 2023-08-10 00:00:00 UTC | Ex-Dividend Reminder: PennyMac Financial Services, Arbor Realty Trust and Carlyle Group | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ex-dividend-reminder%3A-pennymac-financial-services-arbor-realty-trust-and-carlyle-group | nan | nan | Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, on 8/14/23, PennyMac Financial Services Inc (Symbol: PFSI), Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR), and Carlyle Group Inc (Symbol: CG) will all trade ex-dividend for their respective upcoming dividends. PennyMac Financial Services Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.20 on 8/25/23, Arbor Realty Trust Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.43 on 8/31/23, and Carlyle Group Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.35 on 8/23/23. As a percentage of PFSI's recent stock price of $75.74, this dividend works out to approximately 0.26%, so look for shares of PennyMac Financial Services Inc to trade 0.26% lower — all else being equal — when PFSI shares open for trading on 8/14/23. Similarly, investors should look for ABR to open 2.59% lower in price and for CG to open 1.09% lower, all else being equal.
Below are dividend history charts for PFSI, ABR, and CG, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent ones declared.
PennyMac Financial Services Inc (Symbol: PFSI):
Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR):
Carlyle Group Inc (Symbol: CG):
In general, dividends are not always predictable, following the ups and downs of company profits over time. Therefore, a good first due diligence step in forming an expectation of annual yield going forward, is looking at the history above, for a sense of stability over time. This can help in judging whether the most recent dividends from these companies are likely to continue. If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 1.06% for PennyMac Financial Services Inc, 10.38% for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and 4.38% for Carlyle Group Inc.
In Thursday trading, PennyMac Financial Services Inc shares are currently up about 0.5%, Arbor Realty Trust Inc shares are up about 0.4%, and Carlyle Group Inc shares are up about 0.6% on the day.

29767.0 | 2023-08-09 00:00:00 UTC | ABR December 15th Options Begin Trading | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abr-december-15th-options-begin-trading | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options begin trading today, for the December 15th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 128 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new December 15th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $15.00 strike price has a current bid of 90 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $15.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $14.10 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $16.61/share today.
Because the $15.00 strike represents an approximate 10% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 6.00% return on the cash commitment, or 17.10% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $15.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $17.50 strike price has a current bid of 40 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $16.61/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $17.50. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 7.77% if the stock gets called away at the December 15th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ABR shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ABR's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $17.50 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $17.50 strike represents an approximate 5% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.41% boost of extra return to the investor, or 6.86% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $16.61) to be 39%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29768.0 | 2023-08-02 00:00:00 UTC | ABR Named Top 10 REIT at Dividend Channel With 10.51% Yield | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abr-named-top-10-reit-at-dividend-channel-with-10.51-yield | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) has been named as a Top 10 Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), according to Dividend Channel, which published its most recent ''DividendRank'' report. The report noted that among REITs, ABR shares displayed both attractive valuation metrics and strong profitability metrics. For example, the recent ABR share price of $16.36 represents a price-to-book ratio of 1.3 and an annual dividend yield of 10.51% — by comparison, the average stock in Dividend Channel's coverage universe yields 4.1% and trades at a price-to-book ratio of 2.5. The report also cited the strong quarterly dividend history at Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and favorable long-term multi-year growth rates in key fundamental data points.
The report stated, ''Dividend investors approaching investing from a value standpoint are generally most interested in researching the strongest most profitable companies, that also happen to be trading at an attractive valuation. That's what we aim to find using our proprietary DividendRank formula, which ranks the coverage universe based upon our various criteria for both profitability and valuation, to generate a list of the top most 'interesting' stocks, meant for investors as a source of ideas that merit further research.''
REITs hold a special place in the hearts of dividend investors, because they must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income each year to shareholders as dividends. While this can make for a high dividend yield, it also introduces some volatility and uncertainty into the level of payments from year to year — huge dividend payouts are common when a REIT turns large profits, versus smaller payouts or even periods of no dividends in times of losses.
The current annualized dividend paid by Arbor Realty Trust Inc is $1.72/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend has an upcoming ex-date of 08/14/2023. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for ABR, which the report stressed as being of key importance. Indeed, studying a company's past dividend history can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Top Benjamin Graham Stocks
About Benjamin Graham: The late Benjamin Graham may be the oldest of the gurus we follow, but his impact on the investing world has lasted for decades after his death in 1976. Known as both the "Father of Value Investing" and the founder of the entire field of security analysis, Graham mentored several of history's greatest investors -- including Warren Buffett -- and inspired a slew of others, including John Templeton, Mario Gabelli, and another of Validea's gurus, John Neff. Graham built his fortune and reputation after living through some extremely difficult times, including both the Great Depression and his own family's financial woes following his father's death when Benjamin was a young man. His investment firm posted per annum returns of about 20 percent from 1936 to 1956, far outpacing the 12.2 percent average return for the market during that time.

This is an increase of 7.14% from the prior estimate of 15.71 dated July 5, 2023.
The price target is an average of many targets provided by analysts. The latest targets range from a low of 14.14 to a high of 19.95 / share. The average price target represents a decrease of 0.47% from the latest reported closing price of 16.91 / share.
Arbor Realty Trust Declares $0.42 Dividend
On May 5, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.42 per share ($1.68 annualized). Shareholders of record as of May 19, 2023 received the payment on May 31, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.40 per share.
At the current share price of $16.91 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 9.93%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.97%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.86 (n=236).
The current dividend yield is 0.01 standard deviations below the historical average.
Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 0.91. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company's income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company's income is paid in a dividend. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend - not a healthy situation. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
The company's 3-Year dividend growth rate is 0.39%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.

29775.0 | 2023-07-27 00:00:00 UTC | Time to Buy into the Strong Momentum of These REITs? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/time-to-buy-into-the-strong-momentum-of-these-reits | nan | nan | There has been much anticipation regarding the quarterly reports from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) after many of these stocks were trampled earlier in the year following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
Banking fears and inflationary risks spilled over to the broader financial sector making many REIT stocks attractive near their 52-week lows for income-seeking investors.
This along with exposure and diversification to various real estate assets has quite a few REITs worthy of consideration at the moment and here are a few to consider.
AGNC Investment (AGNC)
Standing out with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) is AGNC Investment whose stock has started to rebound in the last three months. AGNC was able to top earnings expectations on Monday with EPS at $0.67 (net spread and dollar roll income excluding premium amortization cost) compared to estimates of $0.58 a share.
Focused on residential mortgage-backed assets (RMBS) another highlight for AGNC was its 3.6% economic return on tangible common equity for the quarter climb swinging from a loss of -10% in Q2 2022.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
AGNC notably has an “A” Zacks Style Scores grade for Momentum and has maintained a very lucrative monthly dividend yield which is currently at 13.85%. This tops the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust Industry average of 11.25% and towers above the S&P 500’s 1.39% average.
Trading 18% from its 52-week highs, AGNC stock is up +10% since May and has risen +15% when including dividends. CEO Peter Federico remains optimistic going forward stating the company is at the forefront of one of the most constructive investment environments in its 15-year history, driven by historically attractive asset valuations, strong funding markets, and gradually improving hedging conditions as the Fed’s tightening campaign concludes.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust (BXMT) Focusing on loans and securities backed by commercial real estate assets, Blackstone Mortgage stock sports a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and beat Q2 earnings expectations by 14% on Wednesday causing shares to spike +5%.
Second-quarter earnings of $0.79 per share also climbed 18% YoY adding fuel to the notion that Blackstone Mortgage Stock was oversold earlier in the year.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Trading at $23 a share, Blackstone Mortgage stock is still 25% from its 52-week highs but has climbed +31% since May and +46% when including dividends (Total Return). Notably, Blackstone Mortgage stock also lands an “A” Style Scores grade for Momentum with CEO Katie Keenan stating the company sits on record liquidity and a well-structured balance sheet to navigate the period ahead.
Blackstone Mortgage’s 11% dividend yield (quarterly) remains intriguing for investors hoping shares of BXMT can continue their accession as this yield is on par with the industry average and well above the benchmark.

Other REITs to Watch Ahead of Earnings
With their Q2 reports behind us, the momentum in AGNC and Blackstone Mortgage stock is hard to overlook at the moment.
It’s noteworthy that Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) and Apollo Commercial Real Estate (ARI) are two top-rated REITs that investors may want to watch ahead of their quarterly reports on July 28 and 31 respectively.
Arbor Realty shares have climbed +50% (+68% total return) over the last three months with Apollo’s stock up +17% (+22% Total Return). Both sport a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), an "A" Style Scores grade for Momentum, and have dividend yields over 10%.

29777.0 | 2023-07-26 00:00:00 UTC | What's in the Offing for Arbor Realty (ABR) in Q2 Earnings? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/whats-in-the-offing-for-arbor-realty-abr-in-q2-earnings | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust ABR is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 28, before market open. The company is expected to have witnessed year-over-year growth in net interest income, whereas its earnings are anticipated to have declined.
In the last reported quarter, the New York-headquartered real estate investment trust (REIT), which primarily focuses on originating and servicing loans for multi-family, single-family and other commercial real estate assets, posted distributable EPS of 62 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents. Its Agency business generated a fee income of $69.8 million.
Over the trailing four quarters, Arbor Realty surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate on all four occasions, the average surprise being 28.5%. The graph below depicts this surprise history:
Arbor Realty Trust Price and EPS Surprise
Arbor Realty Trust price-eps-surprise | Arbor Realty Trust Quote
Factors at Play
The mREIT sector was under pressure in the second quarter due to high volatility in the fixed-income markets and the widening of the spread between the 30-year Agency MBS and 10-year treasury rate. This is expected to have affected the book values of the industry players.
New agency loan originations in the second quarter are expected to have expanded the company’s fee-based servicing portfolio, thereby, driving servicing revenues. The consensus mark for second-quarter 2023 net servicing revenues is pegged at $29.3 million, indicating a marginal sequential decline.
Arbor Realty’s diversified investment focus on commercial real estate debt investments, mortgage servicing, and commercial mortgage-backed securities is likely to have enabled it to generate stable income in the second quarter despite the challenging economic environment.
In the to-be-reported quarter, mortgage rates continued to rise, with the rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage reaching 6.71% in June, up from the 6.32% reported in the prior quarter. Thus, mortgage originations and refinancing continued to decline in the quarter.
Lower levels of refinancing are anticipated to have reduced prepayment speed and driven asset yields. This is anticipated to have boosted net interest income in the quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s quarterly net interest income is pegged at $315.3 million, suggesting an improvement of 56.6% on a year-over-year basis.
In the second quarter, the Federal Reserve increased policy rates by another 25 basis points, with the rates reaching a 15-year high of 5-5.25%. This is likely to have increased funding costs for ABR in the second quarter.
Also, the consensus estimate for second-quarter revenues from mortgage servicing rights is pinned at $15.9 million, suggesting a 13.6% sequential decline.
Lastly, there was a lack of any solid catalyst that could instill optimism prior to the second-quarter earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has been unchanged at 47 cents over the past month. It suggests a year-over-year decline of 9.6%.
Here is what our quantitative model predicts:
Arbor Realty does not have the right combination of the two key ingredients — a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or higher — for increasing the odds of an earnings beat.
You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Stocks Worth a Look
Two stocks from the broader REIT sector, which you may want to consider as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to report a surprise this time around, are Acadia Realty Trust AKR and Simon Property Group SPG.
Acadia Realty is slated to report its quarterly numbers on Aug 1. AKR has an Earnings ESP of +2.11% and a Zacks Rank of 3 presently.
Simon Property is slated to report its quarterly numbers on Aug 2. SPG has an Earnings ESP of +1.42% and a Zacks Rank of 3 at present.

Arbor Realty Trust Declares $0.42 Dividend
On May 5, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.42 per share ($1.68 annualized). Shareholders of record as of May 19, 2023 received the payment on May 31, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.40 per share.
At the current share price of $16.32 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 10.29%.

The current dividend yield is 0.12 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 0.88. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company's income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company's income is paid in a dividend. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend - not a healthy situation. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
The company's 3-Year dividend growth rate is 0.40%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.

29782.0 | 2023-07-14 00:00:00 UTC | Interesting ABR Put Options For August 2025 | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/interesting-abr-put-options-for-august-2025 | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options become available today, for the August 2025 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 763 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new August 2025 contracts and identified the following put contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $15.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.50. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $15.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $13.50 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $15.69/share today.
Because the $15.00 strike represents an approximate 4% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 10.00% return on the cash commitment, or 4.78% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $15.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $15.69) to be 39%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29786.0 | 2023-07-07 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Is a Trending Stock: Facts to Know Before Betting on It | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-is-a-trending-stock%3A-facts-to-know-before-betting-on-it-1 | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Over the past month, shares of this real estate investment trust have returned +3.5%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +3.1% change. During this period, the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, which Arbor Realty Trust falls in, has gained 1.9%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Revisions to Earnings Estimates
Rather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
Arbor Realty Trust is expected to post earnings of $0.47 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -9.6%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged.
The consensus earnings estimate of $2 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -10.3%. This estimate has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.98 indicates a change of -1.1% from what Arbor Realty Trust is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has remained unchanged.
Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Arbor Realty Trust is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth Forecast
Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.
For Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $315.34 million indicates a year-over-year change of +56.6%. For the current and next fiscal years, $1.23 billion and $1.1 billion estimates indicate +30% and -11.1% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise History
Arbor Realty Trust reported revenues of $327.95 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +96.7%. EPS of $0.62 for the same period compares with $0.55 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $319.03 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +2.8%. The EPS surprise was +40.91%.
The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.
Valuation
Without considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.
While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S) and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an An is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Arbor Realty Trust is graded B on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
Conclusion
The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Arbor Realty Trust. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

29788.0 | 2023-07-05 00:00:00 UTC | Is It Worth Investing in Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Based on Wall Street's Bullish Views? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-it-worth-investing-in-arbor-realty-trust-abr-based-on-wall-streets-bullish-views | nan | nan | Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Arbor Realty Trust currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.83, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by six brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.83 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the six recommendations that derive the current ABR, three are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 50% and 16.7% of all recommendations.

The ABR suggests buying Arbor Realty Trust, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation.
In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks Rank
In spite of the fact that Zacks Rank and ABR both appear on a scale from 1 to 5, they are two completely different measures.
Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.
Is ABR Worth Investing In?
In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Arbor Realty Trust, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $2.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Arbor Realty Trust. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Arbor Realty Trust.

29789.0 | 2023-07-03 00:00:00 UTC | Is ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) a Strong ETF Right Now? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-proshares-russell-2000-dividend-growers-etf-smdv-a-strong-etf-right-now-7 | nan | nan | Launched on 02/03/2015, the ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) is a smart beta exchange traded fund offering broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Value category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
For a long time now, the ETF industry has been flooded with products based on market capitalization weighted indexes, which are designed to represent the broader market or a particular market segment.
Market cap weighted indexes work great for investors who believe in market efficiency. They provide a low-cost, convenient and transparent way of replicating market returns.
On the other hand, some investors who believe that it is possible to beat the market by superior stock selection opt to invest in another class of funds that track non-cap weighted strategies--popularly known as smart beta.
By attempting to pick stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, non-cap weighted indexes are based on certain fundamental characteristics, or a combination of such.
The smart beta space gives investors many different choices, from equal-weighting, one of the simplest strategies, to more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting. However, not all of these methodologies have been able to deliver remarkable returns.
Fund Sponsor & Index
The fund is managed by Proshares, and has been able to amass over $810.22 million, which makes it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Small Cap Value. Before fees and expenses, SMDV seeks to match the performance of the Russell 2000 Dividend Growth Index.
The Russell 2000 Dividend Growth Index targets companies that are currently members of the Russell 2000 Index and have increased dividend payments each year for at least 10 years.
Cost & Other Expenses
When considering an ETF's total return, expense ratios are an important factor. And, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins in the long term if all other factors remain equal.
Annual operating expenses for SMDV are 0.40%, which makes it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.74%.
Performance and Risk
Year-to-date, the ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF has lost about -2.52% so far, and is up roughly 3.41% over the last 12 months (as of 07/03/2023). SMDV has traded between $55.50 and $66.96 in this past 52-week period.
The fund has a beta of 0.78 and standard deviation of 20.20% for the trailing three-year period, which makes SMDV a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 97 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Small Cap Value segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well.
IShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) tracks Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index and the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) tracks NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index. IShares Core Dividend Growth ETF has $23.85 billion in assets, Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF has $69.13 billion. DGRO has an expense ratio of 0.08% and VIG charges 0.06%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Small Cap Value.

29790.0 | 2023-07-03 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust Reaches Analyst Target Price | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-reaches-analyst-target-price | nan | nan | In recent trading, shares of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $14.75, changing hands for $14.82/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 6 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $11.50. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $17.50. The standard deviation is $2.296.
But the whole reason to look at the average ABR price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with ABR crossing above that average target price of $14.75/share, investors in ABR have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $14.75 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? Below is a table showing the current thinking of the analysts that cover Arbor Realty Trust Inc:

29793.0 | 2023-06-28 00:00:00 UTC | Commit To Purchase Arbor Realty Trust At $7.50, Earn 8.7% Using Options | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/commit-to-purchase-arbor-realty-trust-at-%247.50-earn-8.7-using-options | nan | nan | Investors considering a purchase of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) stock, but tentative about paying the going market price of $14.34/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the July 2024 put at the $7.50 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of 65 cents. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 8.7% return against the $7.50 commitment, or a 8.2% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).
Selling a put does not give an investor access to ABR's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $7.50 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. (Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless Arbor Realty Trust Inc sees its shares decline 47.8% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $6.85 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the 65 cents from $7.50), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 8.2% annualized rate of return.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and highlighting in green where the $7.50 strike is located relative to that history:
The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the July 2024 put at the $7.50 strike for the 8.2% annualized rate of return represents good reward for the risks. We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Arbor Realty Trust Inc (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $14.34) to be 39%.

In mid-afternoon trading on Wednesday, the put volume among S&P 500 components was 1.79M contracts, with call volume at 1.79M, for a put:call ratio of 0.75 so far for the day, which is above normal compared to the long-term median put:call ratio of .65. In other words, if we look at the number of call buyers and then use the long-term median to project the number of put buyers we'd expect to see, we're actually seeing more put buyers than expected out there in options trading so far today.

29794.0 | 2023-06-26 00:00:00 UTC | Investors Heavily Search Arbor Realty Trust (ABR): Here is What You Need to Know | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/investors-heavily-search-arbor-realty-trust-abr%3A-here-is-what-you-need-to-know-0 | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.
Shares of this real estate investment trust have returned +8% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +5% change. The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, to which Arbor Realty Trust belongs, has gained 5.8% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Revisions to Earnings Estimates
Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
Arbor Realty Trust is expected to post earnings of $0.47 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -9.6%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +0.9%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $2 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -10.3%. This estimate has changed +0.5% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.98 indicates a change of -1.1% from what Arbor Realty Trust is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +3.7%.
Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Arbor Realty Trust is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth Forecast
Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.
For Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $315.34 million indicates a year-over-year change of +56.6%. For the current and next fiscal years, $1.23 billion and $1.1 billion estimates indicate +30% and -11.1% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise History
Arbor Realty Trust reported revenues of $327.95 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +96.7%. EPS of $0.62 for the same period compares with $0.55 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $319.03 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +2.8%. The EPS surprise was +40.91%.
The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.
Valuation
No investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S) and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an An is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Arbor Realty Trust is graded B on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
Conclusion
The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Arbor Realty Trust. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

For Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation.

29796.0 | 2023-06-22 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-crossed-above-the-20-day-moving-average%3A-what-that-means-for-0 | nan | nan | From a technical perspective, Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. ABR recently overtook the 20-day moving average, and this suggests a short-term bullish trend.
The 20-day simple moving average is a popular trading tool. It provides a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period, and is beneficial to short-term traders since it smooths out price fluctuations and provides more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
The 20-day moving average can show signals that are similar to other SMAs as well. If a stock's price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.
ABR could be on the verge of another rally after moving 18.1% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock.
Looking at ABR's earnings estimate revisions, investors will be even more convinced of the bullish uptrend. There have been 3 revisions higher for the current fiscal year compared to none lower, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on ABR for more gains in the near future.
