29801.0 | 2023-06-14 00:00:00 UTC | Here is What to Know Beyond Why Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) is a Trending Stock | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/here-is-what-to-know-beyond-why-arbor-realty-trust-abr-is-a-trending-stock | 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.
Shares of this real estate investment trust have returned +13.8% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +6.1% change. The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, to which Arbor Realty Trust belongs, has gained 13.8% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
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.
For the current quarter, Arbor Realty Trust is expected to post earnings of $0.47 per share, indicating a change of -9.6% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +0.9% over the last 30 days.
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
Projected Revenue Growth
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.
In the case of Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus sales estimate of $315.34 million for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +56.6%. The $1.23 billion and $1.1 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +30% and -11.1%, 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.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it 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.

29803.0 | 2023-06-08 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Passes Through 12% Yield Mark | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-passes-through-12-yield-mark | nan | nan | Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, in trading on Thursday, shares of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) were yielding above the 12% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $1.68), with the stock changing hands as low as $13.88 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 12% 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 12% annual yield.

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 $12.85 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 13.07%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.91%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.84 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is 1.11 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.

29807.0 | 2023-06-02 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) is Attracting Investor Attention: Here is What You Should Know | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-is-attracting-investor-attention%3A-here-is-what-you-should-know-0 | 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.
Shares of this real estate investment trust have returned +17.8% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +1.5% change. The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, to which Arbor Realty Trust belongs, has gained 2.8% 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.
Earnings Estimate Revisions
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.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For the current quarter, Arbor Realty Trust is expected to post earnings of $0.46 per share, indicating a change of -11.5% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +10.6% over the last 30 days.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.99 points to a change of -10.8% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed +12.9%.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.91 indicates a change of -4.2% from what Arbor Realty Trust is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -2.3%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. 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.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Projected Revenue Growth
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.
In the case of Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus sales estimate of $317.32 million for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +57.6%. The $1.24 billion and $1.11 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +31% and -10.9%, 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.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it 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.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

Revenue Growth Forecast
While earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
For Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $317.32 million indicates a year-over-year change of +57.6%. For the current and next fiscal years, $1.24 billion and $1.11 billion estimates indicate +31% and -10.9% 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%.

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 will receive the payment on May 31, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.40 per share.
At the current share price of $12.46 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 13.48%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.90%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.83 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is 1.26 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.

Park National Corp will pay its quarterly dividend of $1.05 on 6/9/23, Arbor Realty Trust Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.42 on 5/31/23, and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.29 on 5/30/23. As a percentage of PRK's recent stock price of $100.24, this dividend works out to approximately 1.05%, so look for shares of Park National Corp to trade 1.05% lower — all else being equal — when PRK shares open for trading on 5/18/23. Similarly, investors should look for ABR to open 3.29% lower in price and for CTSH to open 0.46% lower, all else being equal.

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 4.19% for Park National Corp, 13.17% for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and 1.86% for Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp..
In Tuesday trading, Park National Corp shares are currently down about 1%, Arbor Realty Trust Inc shares are down about 0.2%, and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. shares are off about 0.4% on the day.

29814.0 | 2023-05-09 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 | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.
Over the past month, shares of this real estate investment trust have returned +14.5%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +1.2% change. During this period, the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, which Arbor Realty Trust falls in, has lost 3.4%. 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.
Earnings Estimate Revisions
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 $0.42 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -19.2%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -10.2%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $1.76 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -21.1%. This estimate has changed -6.9% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.96 indicates a change of +11.1% from what Arbor Realty Trust is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has remained unchanged.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. 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.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Projected Revenue Growth
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.
In the case of Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus sales estimate of $328.29 million for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +63.1%. The $1.3 billion and $1.26 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +37.3% and -3.5%, 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.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it 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.

29815.0 | 2023-05-06 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Declares $0.42 Dividend | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-declares-%240.42-dividend | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust said on May 5, 2023 that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.42 per share ($1.68 annualized). Previously, the company paid $0.40 per share.
Shares must be purchased before the ex-div date of May 18, 2023 to qualify for the dividend. Shareholders of record as of May 19, 2023 will receive the payment on May 31, 2023.
At the current share price of $11.75 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 14.30%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.88%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.81 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is 1.57 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 0.85. 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 0.33%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.

29819.0 | 2023-05-02 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-6 | nan | nan | Designed to provide broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Value category of the market, the ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 02/03/2015.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry.
Investors who believe in market efficiency should consider market cap indexes, as they replicate market returns in a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way.
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.
These indexes attempt to select stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance, based on certain fundamental characteristics or a combination of such characteristics.
While this space offers a number of choices to investors, including simplest equal-weighting, fundamental weighting and volatility/momentum based weighting methodologies, not all these strategies have been able to deliver superior results.
Fund Sponsor & Index
The fund is managed by Proshares. SMDV has been able to amass assets over $807.77 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Small Cap Value. This particular fund, before fees and expenses, 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
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.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.40% for this ETF, which makes it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.64%.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has lost about -3.70% so far this year and is down about -0.82% in the last one year (as of 05/02/2023). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $55.50 and $66.96.
The ETF has a beta of 0.78 and standard deviation of 22.01% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the 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 $23.53 billion in assets, Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF has $66.86 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.

29820.0 | 2023-05-01 00:00:00 UTC | Earnings Preview: Ready Capital (RC) Q1 Earnings Expected to Decline | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/earnings-preview%3A-ready-capital-rc-q1-earnings-expected-to-decline | nan | nan | Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Ready Capital (RC) reports results for the quarter ended March 2023. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 8. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on theearnings callwill mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.41 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -14.6%.
Revenues are expected to be $63.72 million, up 0.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.63% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Ready Capital?
For Ready Capital, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Ready Capital will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Ready Capital would post earnings of $0.41 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.42, delivering a surprise of +2.44%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Ready Capital doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected Results
Another stock from the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, Arbor Realty Trust (ABR), is soon expected to post earnings of $0.44 per share for the quarter ended March 2023. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -20%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $319.03 million, up 91.4% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for Arbor Realty Trust has been revised 11.5% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -4.96%.
This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Arbor Realty Trust will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

29824.0 | 2023-04-25 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) is Attracting Investor Attention: Here is What You Should Know | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-is-attracting-investor-attention%3A-here-is-what-you-should-know | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.
Over the past month, shares of this real estate investment trust have returned -6.2%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +4.3% change. During this period, the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, which Arbor Realty Trust falls in, has gained 5.6%. 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.
Earnings Estimate Revisions
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.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Arbor Realty Trust is expected to post earnings of $0.46 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -16.4%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -1.4%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $1.89 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -15.3%. This estimate has changed -0.9% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.96 indicates a change of +3.6% from what Arbor Realty Trust is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.8%.
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
While earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
For Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $321.07 million indicates a year-over-year change of +92.6%. For the current and next fiscal years, $1.31 billion and $1.26 billion estimates indicate +38.5% and -4.4% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise History
Arbor Realty Trust reported revenues of $320.6 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +122.2%. EPS of $0.60 for the same period compares with $0.57 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $311.43 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +2.94%. The EPS surprise was +27.66%.
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.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it 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.

Arbor Realty Trust Declares $0.40 Dividend
On February 17, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share ($1.60 annualized). Shareholders of record as of March 3, 2023 received the payment on March 17, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.40 per share.
At the current share price of $10.49 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 15.25%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.86%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.80 (n=237).

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.

Shares of this real estate investment trust have returned -7.9% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +6.1% change. The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, to which Arbor Realty Trust belongs, has gained 0.5% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
Earnings Estimate Revisions
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 $0.46 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -16.4%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -1.4%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $1.89 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -15.3%. This estimate has changed -0.9% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.96 indicates a change of +3.6% from what Arbor Realty Trust is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.8%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. 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 #1 (Strong Buy) for Arbor Realty Trust.

Arbor Realty Trust Declares $0.40 Dividend
On February 17, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share ($1.60 annualized). Shareholders of record as of March 3, 2023 received the payment on March 17, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.40 per share.
At the current share price of $10.62 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 15.07%. Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.81%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.76 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is 1.91 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 0.33%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.

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.

Zacks Rank & Price Performance
Nasdaq currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). In a year, the stock has lost 1.4% against the industry’s increase of 10.2%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Optimistic Growth Projections
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Nasdaq’s 2023 earnings is pegged at $2.69 per share, indicating a 1.1% increase from the year-ago reported figure on 4.3% higher revenues of $3.7 billion. The consensus estimate for 2024 earnings is pegged at $2.88, indicating a 7.2% increase from the year-ago reported figure on 5.4% higher revenues of $3.9 billion.
The expected long-term earnings growth rate is currently pegged at 4.4%.
Return on Equity
Return on equity was 22.1% in the trailing twelve months, better than the industry average of 10.3%.
Growth Drivers
Nasdaq remains focused on generating more revenues from high-growth Market Technology and Investment Intelligence segments and diverting R&D spending toward higher-growth products. This in turn should accelerate its growth. The company targets 5-7% long-term growth from a non-trading revenue base and 7-10% organic growth.
Nasdaq has been accelerating its technology expansion, given the opportunities offered by the cryptocurrency markets. Technology expansion with SMARTS surveillance in non-financial markets is in tandem with this growth strategy.
Nasdaq noted that the anti-fin crime space has a total addressable market of $12.5 billion and is expected to witness a CAGR of 17% through 2024. It thus projects 18-23% revenue growth in Anti-Financial Crime over the next three-five-year period. The acquisition of Verafin in February 2021 consolidated Nasdaq's established reg tech leadership to create a global SaaS leader. Nasdaq aims more than 50% Saas revenues as a percentage of total revenues by 2027.
It also boasts an impressive inorganic growth story. The buyout of Puro.earth and Metrio will help NDAQ address expanding client ESG needs.
NDAQ estimates growth from its index and analytics businesses, followed by moderate growth in its exchange data products across U.S. and Nordic equities. Nasdaq estimates 5%- 8% revenue organic growth in Investment Intelligence or Capital Access Platform, 13%-16% in Market Technology and 3%-5% in Corporate Platform segments over the medium term. Organic revenues at Data & Listing Services are expected to grow in the low single digit. Index revenues are expected to grow in mid-to-high single digit and Workflow and Insights revenues are expected to witness high-single to low-double-digit growth over the medium term.
NDAQ estimates revenues from new growth initiatives to be more than 60 million by 2025.
A diverse business model supports modest operating cash flow, aiding Nasdaq to build a healthy balance sheet and cash position.
However, due to a change in corporate structure, NDAQ expects to incur $115 million to $145 million in pretax charges, of which about 40% will be non-cash charges. Nonetheless, this will help unlock revenue synergies. Nasdaq is estimating benefits in the form of combined annual run rate operating efficiencies and revenue synergies of at least $30 million by 2025. NDAQ also estimates average annual organic expense growth of 4-7% in the three-to-five-year period.
Prudent Capital Deployment
Banking on operational excellence, Nasdaq has raised dividends at a five-year CAGR (2018-2022) of 10%. With consistent dividend growth, it expects 35-38% payout ratio by 2027. It had $650 million remaining under authorization as on Dec 31, 2022. It estimates double-digit total shareholders’ return.

29832.0 | 2023-04-06 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust Becomes Oversold | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-becomes-oversold | nan | nan | The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) presently has a stellar rank, in the top 10% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making Arbor Realty Trust Inc an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Thursday, shares of ABR entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $10.90 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Arbor Realty Trust Inc, the RSI reading has hit 29.0 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 46.1. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, ABR's recent annualized dividend of 1.6/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 14.27% based upon the recent $11.21 share price.
A bullish investor could look at ABR's 29.0 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on ABR is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

29833.0 | 2023-04-05 00:00:00 UTC | Why Arbor Realty Trust Stock Tumbled Nearly 24% in March | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-arbor-realty-trust-stock-tumbled-nearly-24-in-march | nan | nan | What happened
Shares of Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE: ABR) plunged 23.8% in March, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. One factor weighing on shares of the mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) was a report published by Ningi Research, which had also shorted the company's stock. The company responded to that report and initiated a share repurchase program to potentially capitalize on the share price decline.
So what
Arbor Realty Trust released a statement in mid-March, noting it had received a research report published by Ningi Research. The company stated that it "lacks merit and contains numerous inaccuracies, misstatements, and otherwise misleading allegations." It continued, "This false and inflammatory report is a transparent effort to mislead the public for the purpose of enabling Ningi and its affiliates to profit from short positions on Arbor's stock." The REIT also noted that contrary to what Ningi reported; it uses generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) standards to maintain its books and records. The company has used the leading accounting firm Ernst & Young to audit its financial statements since 2003.
Arbor is the latest company under pressure from short-sellers. Fellow REIT Medical Properties Trust recently filed a lawsuit against the firm behind negative research published against the company and published a letter to shareholders to set the record straight. Meanwhile, short-sellers also published a negative report about financial technology company Block. These reports drive down share prices as investors weigh their validity, enabling short-sellers to make money.
One step Arbor took in response to the report was authorizing a $50 million share repurchase program. That program will allow the company to take advantage of the decline in its share price by repurchasing shares at a lower level. However, the authorization doesn't require the company to buy back its stock.
Now what
Short-sellers often make very compelling cases that the companies they're shorting have deeper financial problems. Because of that, the share prices of the target companies tend to fall as the market digests the report. While Arbor has dismissed the report with a press release, it might need to take additional actions. For example, it could follow the lead of Medical Properties Trust and file a lawsuit if it believes the report was entirely inaccurate.
Given that uncertainty, investors might want to wait on the sidelines for the dust to settle. However, it's worth noting that Arbor has an excellent track record of growing shareholder value. It has delivered a 13.6% average annual return over the last decade, outpacing the S&P 500 (12.4%). Meanwhile, it has steadily increased its dividend, something many peers in the mortgage REIT sector have failed to do. Because of that, the short-seller-inspired sell-off might be a good buying opportunity for investors who believe the company can continue growing shareholder value.

29834.0 | 2023-04-05 00:00:00 UTC | Why Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) is Poised to Beat Earnings Estimates Again | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-arbor-realty-trust-abr-is-poised-to-beat-earnings-estimates-again | nan | nan | Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? Arbor Realty Trust (ABR), which belongs to the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, could be a great candidate to consider.
This real estate investment trust has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 26.05%.
For the last reported quarter, Arbor Realty Trust came out with earnings of $0.60 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.47 per share, representing a surprise of 27.66%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $0.45 per share and it actually produced earnings of $0.56 per share, delivering a surprise of 24.44%.
Price and EPS Surprise
With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Arbor Realty Trust. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Arbor Realty Trust has an Earnings ESP of +0.73% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner.
With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

29835.0 | 2023-04-04 00:00:00 UTC | 3 mREIT Stocks to Bet on Despite Lackluster Origination Scenario | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-mreit-stocks-to-bet-on-despite-lackluster-origination-scenario | nan | nan | The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust is not immune to interest rate volatility and uncertainty in the macro-economic conditions due to regional banks’ collapse, high rates, below-average market liquidity and limited fixed-income demand. This has resulted in a rise in mortgage rates, which has significantly reduced originations. The mREIT industry should see book value erosion in the near term, as wider spreads in the Agency market affect asset prices.
While rising rates have hindered origination volumes, it continues to be a tailwind to servicing businesses, as the two segments are operational hedges for each other. Low prepayment spreads offer respite by supporting asset yields and margins, whereas business diversification will help keep companies afloat. Companies with primarily floating-rate loan books should see a rise in net interest income (NII). Hence, industry players like Arbor Realty ABR, Ladder Capital Corp LADR and Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. IVR are well-poised to navigate the market blues.
About the Industry
The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry comprises mortgage REITs, also known as mREITs. Industry participants invest in and originate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and provide mortgage credit for homeowners and businesses. Typically, these companies focus on either residential or commercial mortgage markets, although some invest in both markets through the respective asset-backed securities. Agency securities are backed by the federal government, making it a safer bet and limiting credit risk. Also, such REITs raise funds in both debt and equity markets through common and preferred equity, repurchase agreements, structured financing, convertible and long-term debt, and other credit facilities. The net interest margin (NIM), the spread between interest income on mortgage assets and securities held, as well as funding costs, is a key revenue metric for mREITs.
What's Shaping the Future of the mREIT Industry?
Purchase Volume Deterioration to Continue: The SVB fallout has resulted in incremental volatility in mortgage rates and served as another hurdle for any potential recovery in purchase originations, with both buyers and sellers remaining on the sidelines. According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year mortgage rate has increased to 6.32% as of Mar 29, 2023, from 4.67% a year ago. Housing inventory has fallen and affordability challenges have increased due to the ongoing increase in rates, which has also affected seasonal buying trends.
Amid this lackluster housing market, mortgage originations are likely to continue their free fall. The MBA forecast now calls for an 18% decline in mortgage originations in 2023. This has caused operational and financial challenges for originators and may reduce the gain on sale margin and new investment activity.
Industry Resorts to Dividend Cuts as Book Values Erode: High volatility in the fixed-income markets, the spike in interest rates, and the widening of the spread between the 30-year Agency MBS and 10-year treasury rate are affecting valuations of Agency mortgage-backed securities. Hence, mREITs will continue to see book value pressure in the upcoming period. Also, liability-sensitive mREITs will see funding costs repricing faster than assets yields. Hence, we anticipate the cost of funds to be a headwind and reduce net interest spreads and profitability.
This scenario has reduced dividend coverage and companies like Invesco Mortgage and Annaly Capital Management, Inc. have resorted to dividend cuts to preserve book value. This may discourage mREIT investors and result in capital outflows from the industry, potentially resulting in even greater book value declines for companies in the upcoming period.
Conservative Approach to Temper Returns: The Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes to slow persistent inflation has made financial markets extremely volatile, restricting financial conditions and resulting in negative fixed-income fund flows. Given these macro worries, as strain grows on credit-risky assets, we expect mREITs to be selective in their investments, resulting in lower portfolio growth. Also, numerous companies have resorted to a higher hedge ratio to reduce interest rate risks. While such moves may seem prudent in the ongoing uncertain times, it will temper mREITs’ growth expectations. As companies prioritize risk and liquidity management over incremental returns, at least in the short term, we expect robust returns to remain elusive.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Dismal Prospects
The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry is housed within the broader Zacks Finance sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #179, which places it in the bottom 28% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates underperformance in the near term. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperforms the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
The industry’s positioning in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is an outcome of the disappointing earnings outlook for the constituent companies. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are gradually losing confidence in this group's earnings growth potential. The industry’s current-year earnings estimate has moved 14.8% down since April last year.
Before we present a few stocks that you may want to consider for your portfolio, let’s take a look at the industry’s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.
Industry Lags Sector and S&P 500
The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry has lagged the broader Zacks Finance sector and the S&P 500 composite in the past year.
The industry has slumped 37.3% in the above-mentioned period against the broader sector’s decline of 14.1%. The S&P Index has fallen 10.2% over the past year.

Industry's Current Valuation
Based on the trailing 12-month price-to-book (P/BV), which is a commonly used multiple for valuing mREITs, the industry is currently trading at 0.75X compared with the S&P 500’s 5.66X. It is also below the sector’s trailing-12-month P/BV of 2.99X. Over the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 1.12X, as low as 0.42X and at the median of 0.96X.

3 mREIT Stocks Worth Betting On
Arbor Realty: The New York-headquartered mREIT primarily focuses on originating and servicing loans for multi-family, single-family and other commercial real estate assets. Arbor Realty’s diversified investment focus on commercial real estate debt investments, mortgage servicing and commercial mortgage-backed securities is likely to enable it to generate stable income in the upcoming quarters despite the challenging economic environment.
Its loan book is 97% floating rate, positioning it well to benefit from high interest rates. Further, multi-family mortgage loan securitization and originations are expected to expand ABR’s fee-based servicing portfolio, driving servicing revenues.
Last month, ABR’s board of directors approved a $50-million share repurchase program. This is likely to boost shareholder confidence in the stock.
The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ABR’s 2023 earnings has been revised 5% upward to $1.90 in the past two months. Moreover, 2023 NII estimates of $1.31 billion indicate a year-over-year uptick of 39%. ABR has a market cap of $2.2 billion.

Ladder Capital: This commercial REIT, with $5.9 billion of assets as of the third-quarter end, is a preeminent commercial real estate capital provider, specializing in underwriting commercial real estate and offering flexible capital solutions within a sophisticated platform. It originates and invests in a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate-related assets, with a focus on senior secured assets.
The company’s balance sheet is well-positioned to benefit from a rising rate environment. Its lending book consists of 90% floating-rate first mortgage loans, while 48% of liabilities are fixed-rate. With this, its earnings seem positively correlated to rising interest rates. We see LadderCapital’s conservative capital structure and modest leverage as a favorable fit amid the ongoing market disruption. Also, its negligible losses on originated investments since 2008 underline an impressive credit record.
In contrast to certain mREITs resorting to dividend cuts to navigate the choppy waters, LADR dividends seem well-covered, with 1.35X coverage based on Distributable EPS.
The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ladder Capital’s 2023 earnings has been revised marginally upward in the past two months. Moreover, for 2023 and 2024, earnings are projected to grow 2.6% and 7.6%, respectively.LADR has a market cap of $1.18 billion.
Price and Consensus: LADR

Invesco Mortgage: The company primarily focuses on investing in, financing and managing MBSs and other mortgage-related assets. Amid headwinds for Agency MBSs, the company has been actively managing its portfolio. It has reduced exposure to such securities, as the current macro situation continues to weigh on Agency RMBS valuations. IVR is shifting its Agency RMBS portfolio to higher coupon investments by selling lower coupon ones.
As of Mar 17, its investment portfolio of $5.5 billion included $5.3 billion of Agency RMBS. It had unrestricted cash and unencumbered investments aggregating around $454 million. IVR estimates a debt-to-equity ratio of 5.9X and a book value per common share of $11.96-$12.44.
The company sports a Zacks Rank of 1 at present. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IVR’s 2023 earnings has been revised 22.5% upward over the past two months to $3.54. Also, the company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all four trailing quarters. IVR has a market cap of $454.3 million.

On February 17, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share ($1.60 annualized). Shareholders of record as of March 3, 2023 received the payment on March 17, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.40 per share.
At the current share price of $11.46 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 13.96%. Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.79%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.73 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is 1.53 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 0.33%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.

29839.0 | 2023-03-30 00:00:00 UTC | 5 Dividend Growth Stocks to Buy Amid Looming Uncertainty | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/5-dividend-growth-stocks-to-buy-amid-looming-uncertainty | nan | nan | The U.S. stock market is recovering from the steep losses incurred in the previous year. However, its momentum has slowed recently due to uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's plans to hike rates and concerns about a potential recession. As a result, investors are becoming more interested in dividend investing as a way to generate reliable income. While dividend stocks may not provide significant price appreciation, they offer a steady source of income that can help investors build wealth even when the equity market is volatile.
The stocks discussed in this article have the potential to gain more as they have a favorable Zacks Rank. Notably, stocks with a strong history of year-over-year dividend growth form a healthy portfolio, with a greater scope of capital appreciation than simple dividend-paying stocks or those with high yields. We have selected five dividend growth stocks — Barings BDC BBDC, Arbor Realty Trust ABR, Ares Capital ARCC, Hercules Capital HTGC and TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC TPVG — that could be compelling picks amid market volatility.
Why Dividend Growth?
Mature companies with a solid record of dividend growth are attractive investments due to their stability and capability to withstand market fluctuations, providing a hedge against economic and political uncertainty, as well as stock market volatility. They also offer consistent payouts, which provide downside protection.
These stocks possess strong fundamentals that make them promising long-term investment choices. These include sustainable business models, profitability over an extended period, rising cash flows, good liquidity, a robust balance sheet, and value characteristics. A history of consistent dividend growth suggests that there is a high likelihood of future dividend increases.
In addition, year-over-year dividend growth leads to a healthy portfolio, with a greater potential for capital appreciation than stocks that only pay dividends or those with high yields.
As a result, picking dividend growth stocks appears to be a winning strategy when some other parameters are also included.
5-Year Historical Dividend Growth greater than zero: This selects stocks with a solid dividend growth history.
5-Year Historical Sales Growth greater than zero: This represents stocks with a strong record of growing revenues.
5-Year Historical EPS Growth greater than zero: This represents stocks with a solid earnings growth history.
Top Zacks Rank: Stocks having a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and 2 (Buy) generally outperform their peers in all types of market environments.
A portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks has beaten the market in 26 of the last 31 years with an average annual return of 24.5% a year, more than double the S&P 500's 10.7% return. Then again, a portfolio of Zacks Rank #2 stocks has an average annual return of 18.3% a year.
Here are five stocks that fit the bill:
North Carolina-based Barings BDC is an externally managed business development company that primarily makes debt investments in middle-market companies. The company has seen a positive earnings estimate revision of 5 cents for 2023 over the past 60 days and has an expected earnings growth rate of 3.6%.

Presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company 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 the ''top brass'' over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $124.3K by Ivan Kaufman, COB, CEO and President at Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR).

29843.0 | 2023-03-27 00:00:00 UTC | September 15th Options Now Available For Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/september-15th-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 September 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 172 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 September 15th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $10.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.25. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $10.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $8.75 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $11.26/share today.
Because the $10.00 strike represents an approximate 11% 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 12.50% return on the cash commitment, or 26.53% 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 $10.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $12.50 strike price has a current bid of 65 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $11.26/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $12.50. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 16.79% if the stock gets called away at the September 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 $12.50 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $12.50 strike represents an approximate 11% 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 5.77% boost of extra return to the investor, or 12.25% 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 $11.26) to be 38%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29844.0 | 2023-03-24 00:00:00 UTC | 3 Affordable & Diverse Top-Rated REITs to Buy Now | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-affordable-diverse-top-rated-reits-to-buy-now | nan | nan | Volatility in the broader financial sector has affected many Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) with many of these stocks selling off mightily over the last few weeks.
However, investors may be looking for opportunities among these equities as REITs can offer lucrative dividends along with valuable exposure to real estate.
Here are 3 Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) REIT stocks that investors may want to consider as they appear to be trading at a discount.
Alexander & Baldwin Holdings (ALEX)
First up is Alexander & Baldwin Holdings which owns, operates, and manages retail, industrial, and office space primarily in Hawaii and on the U.S. mainland. In addition to this Alexander & Baldwin also owns grocery/drug-anchored retail centers.
Shares of ALEX currently trade at $17 per share and 16.6X forward earnings which is slightly above the industry average of 10.4X. However, Alexander & Baldwin stock trades 84% below its decade high of 108.3X and at a 46% discount to the median of 31.1X.
Even better, earnings estimate revisions have gone up over the last 30 days. Fiscal 2023 earnings estimates have gone up 6% with FY24 EPS estimates rising 10%. Alexander & Baldwin’s 5.44% dividend yield is slightly above its industry average and rewards investors as the broader financial sector looks to stabilize.

Arbor Realty Trust (ABR)
Another REIT investors may want to consider at the moment is Arbor Realty Trust, a specialized real estate finance company that invests in real estate-related bridge and mezzanine loans, preferred equity, and mortgage-related securities among other real estate assets.
Arbor Realty’s stock trades around $11 per share and 5.7X forward earnings which is slightly below the industry average of 6.4X. Plus, shares of ABR trade 67% below its decade high of 17.5X and at a 46% discount to the median of 10.6X.
Arbor Realty’s fiscal 2023 EPS estimates have gone up 6% over the last 30 days and are now expected at $1.90 per share. This supports the stock being undervalued from a P/E perspective. Even better, the 14.76% dividend yield at $1.60 per share is slightly above the industry average and should be very rewarding to investors at ABR’s current levels.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Invesco Mortgage Capital (IVR)
Rounding out the list is Invesco Mortgage Capital which focuses on financing and managing residential and commercial-backed securities and mortgage loans.
Invesco’s stock sticks out at $10 per share and fiscal 2023 earnings estimate revisions have soared 22% in the last month. Earnings are now expected to be at $3.54 per share in FY23 compared to estimates of $2.89 thirty days ago.
This certainly makes shares of IVR look undervalued trading at just 2.9X forward earnings and nicely below the industry average of 6.4X. Furthermore, Invesco stock trades 96% below its decade-long high of 55X and 63% beneath the median of 8.1X.
On top of that, IVR’s dividend yield is a very appealing 24.81% at the moment and well above an already high industry average of 13.62%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Takeaway
These three REITs are diverse in their offerings and appear to be undervalued at their current levels with the rising earnings estimate revisions supporting this. More upside could certainly be in the cards for these stocks when volatility in the broader financial sector subsidies and their stellar dividend yields give investors another reason to buy.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

29846.0 | 2023-03-22 00:00:00 UTC | ABR June 16th Options Begin Trading | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abr-june-16th-options-begin-trading | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options begin trading today, for the June 16th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 86 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 June 16th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $10.00 strike price has a current bid of 60 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $10.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $9.40 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $11.79/share today.
Because the $10.00 strike represents an approximate 15% 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 82%. 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 25.47% 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 $10.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $12.50 strike price has a current bid of 60 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $11.79/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $12.50. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 11.11% if the stock gets called away at the June 16th 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 $12.50 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $12.50 strike represents an approximate 6% 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 5.09% boost of extra return to the investor, or 21.60% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example above is 86%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $11.79) to be 37%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29848.0 | 2023-03-21 00:00:00 UTC | Strength Seen in Arbor Realty Trust (ABR): Can Its 5.6% Jump Turn into More Strength? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/strength-seen-in-arbor-realty-trust-abr%3A-can-its-5.6-jump-turn-into-more-strength | nan | nan | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) shares ended the last trading session 5.6% higher at $11.82. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 28% loss over the past four weeks.
After the stock market fallout due to the collapse of two S&P 500 banks, investors regained some confidence in the finance sector, backed by the steps taken by the regulators to avert a full-blown crisis. Also, gradually cooling inflation and less chance of a bigger rate hike reinforced investor optimism. The company’s recently announced $50-million share repurchase program is another positive. These developments drove the ABR stock.
This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.46 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -16.4%. Revenues are expected to be $321.07 million, up 92.6% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For Arbor Realty Trust, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.1% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on ABR going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

29849.0 | 2023-03-17 00:00:00 UTC | Insiders Now Seeing Red With ABR At New 52-Week Low | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/insiders-now-seeing-red-with-abr-at-new-52-week-low | nan | nan | In trading on Friday, shares of Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) touched a new 52-week low of $11.07/share. That's a $6.72 share price drop, or -37.77% decline from the 52-week high of $17.79 set back on 04/21/2022. Large percentage drops always require that the stock post even larger percentage gains from the low in order to recover the old price point, and for ABR that means the stock would have to gain 60.70% to get back to the 52-week high. For a move like that, Arbor Realty Trust Inc would need fundamental strength at the business level.
Here's a rhetorical question: Who knows more about fundamentals at the business level than the company's own insiders? So let's take a look to see whether any company insiders were taking the other side of the trade as ABR shares were being sold down to this new 52-week low, focusing on the most recent trailing six month period. As summarized by the table below, ABR has seen 2 different instances of insiders buying over the past six months.
PURCHASED INSIDER TITLE SHARES PRICE/SHARE VALUE
03/13/2023 William C. Green Director 4,200 $12.94 $54,328.88
03/13/2023 Ivan Kaufman COB, CEO and President 10,000 $12.43 $124,280.00
In the short run, while the new 52-week low suggests the stock is at the cheapest price and perhaps therefore the best bargain it has been over the last 52 weeks, the low print also means anyone who has purchased the stock over that timeframe is staring at an unrealized loss. Oftentimes, that factor drives a stock's technical analysis metrics by creating overhead resistance, with investors who bought higher now anxious to reverse their trade once they are back to breakeven. The chart below shows where ABR has traded over the past year, with the 50-day and 200-day moving averages included.
Time will tell whether the insider purchases foretell a future rebound for ABR shares, which are presently showing a last trade of $11.12/share, slightly above the new 52-week low.

29850.0 | 2023-03-16 00:00:00 UTC | This Ultra-High-Yield Stock Is Cutting Its Dividend Again. Here's A Better Buy. | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/this-ultra-high-yield-stock-is-cutting-its-dividend-again.-heres-a-better-buy. | nan | nan | Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY) has an atrocious dividend track record. The mortgage REIT the week officially announced it was reducing its payout again -- as management telegraphed that it would last month -- continuing a steady decline that has been going on for the past decade.
While Annaly still offers a big-time yield, its payout could keep falling. Because of that, there are better options for those seeking to generate passive income. A more promising opportunity for those desiring an outsized yield is its fellow mortgage REIT, Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE: ABR).
Death by a thousand cuts
Annaly has reset its quarterly dividend payment to $0.65 per share. That's a 26.1% reduction from the prior level of $0.88 per share. While that payout still gives the company an attractive dividend yield of around 12.5% at the recent stock price, it continued the steady downward trend in the dividend.
NLY Dividend data by YCharts.
Annaly's business model is the primary issue weighing on the dividend. It uses shareholder capital and other funding sources to buy residential mortgage-backed securities. It makes money on the spread between its cost of capital (the price it pays for funding) and the interest earned on its mortgage investments. Rising interest rates have cut into that spread, also known as the net interest margin:

Average yield on interest-earning assets

3.82%
Net interest margin

1.90%
Data source: Annaly Capital Management.
Because of that, Annaly is earning less money, which impacts its ability to pay dividends.
That earnings decline has put pressure on the company's stock price. Shares have lost a third of their value over the past year. Because of that, even with the big dividend yield, Annaly's total return over that time frame was negative 21%.
A better alternative
While Annaly's dividend has steadily declined, Arbor Realty's payout has been on the rise:
ABR Dividend data by YCharts.
The company recently broke a streak of 10 consecutive quarterly dividend increases. During that run, it boosted its payout by 33%. Its decade-long streak of annual dividend hikes remains intact, though. Arbor could have easily continued to grow its dividend because it has a huge cushion. The mortgage REIT's dividend payout ratio was a comfortable 67% last quarter, the lowest in the industry. That compares to a 99% payout ratio for Annaly last quarter before it cut its payout. At its current share price, Arbor's dividend has a 14.1% yield -- above Annaly's reset rate.
One big factor driving Arbor's steadily rising dividend is its business model. Whereas Annaly focuses on buying residential mortgage-backed securities, Arbor Realty concentrates on the rental market. It primarily originates and services bridge loans made to multifamily and single-family rental operators. Because of that, it has a more diversified income stream. It earns net interest income on the loans it holds, and also generates servicing and escrow revenue for loans it originates and sells to government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, and agencies such as the Federal Housing Administration. Arbor primarily makes variable-rate loans, allowing it to benefit from rising interest rates.
There's no guarantee Arbor will continue growing (or even maintaining) its dividend. If a real estate downturn hits the multifamily sector, it could impact its interest income, affecting its earnings and ability to pay dividends. However, the company's more diversified business model, focus on originating variable rate loans, and low payout ratio put it in a better position to succeed over the long term. It has certainly done that over the last 10 years. Arbor has produced a total return of more than 250% for shareholders (13.6% annualized) compared to a negative 1% total return from Annaly.
Heading in different directions
Annaly's dividend has steadily drifted lower over the last decade due to the impact interest rate changes have on its income. Arbor's payout has headed in the opposite direction because its business model is less sensitive to interest rates. That makes it a better option for investors seeking a big-time dividend yield backed by real estate debt.

This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.15%. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.28%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 3.16%.
Coming into today, shares of the real estate investment trust had lost 10.24% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector lost 8.03%, while the S&P 500 lost 5.39%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from Arbor Realty Trust as it approaches its next earnings report date. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.46, down 16.36% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $321.07 million, up 92.6% from the year-ago period.

29852.0 | 2023-03-10 00:00:00 UTC | Are Options Traders Betting on a Big Move in Arbor Realty (ABR) Stock? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/are-options-traders-betting-on-a-big-move-in-arbor-realty-abr-stock-0 | 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 Apr 21, 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 shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Arbor Realty is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) in the REIT and Equity Trust industry that ranks in the Bottom 30% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, two analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while one have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 45 cents per share to 46 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Arbor Realty 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.

29855.0 | 2023-03-08 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-0 | 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 $1.6), with the stock changing hands as low as $14.52 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.

29856.0 | 2023-03-07 00:00:00 UTC | Is Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) a Buy as Wall Street Analysts Look Optimistic? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-arbor-realty-trust-abr-a-buy-as-wall-street-analysts-look-optimistic | nan | nan | The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price. Do they really matter, though?
Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let's see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about Arbor Realty Trust (ABR).
Arbor Realty Trust currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.60, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by five brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.60 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the five recommendations that derive the current ABR, three are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 60% and 20% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for ABR

While the ABR calls for buying Arbor Realty Trust, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
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.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock's near -term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in 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.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
Is ABR a Good Investment?
In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Arbor Realty Trust, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 5.1% over the past month to $1.90.
Analysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to soar 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 #1 (Strong Buy) for Arbor Realty Trust. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

29857.0 | 2023-03-06 00:00:00 UTC | July 2024 Options Now Available For Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/july-2024-options-now-available-for-arbor-realty-trust-abr | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options become available today, for the July 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 501 days until expiration the newly available 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 July 2024 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $12.50 strike price has a current bid of $1.10. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $12.50, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $11.40 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $15.24/share today.
Because the $12.50 strike represents an approximate 18% 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 8.80% return on the cash commitment, or 6.41% 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 $12.50 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 25 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $15.24/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 16.47% if the stock gets called away at the July 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 $17.50 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $17.50 strike represents an approximate 15% 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 1.64% boost of extra return to the investor, or 1.20% 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 $15.24) to be 35%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

3 Top-Ranked REITS for Dividend Investors to Buy
A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is one very effective way for investors to access exposure to real estate and real estate finance investments. REITs are companies that invest in, or lend to income producing real estate across the spectrum of assets. This includes retail, industrial, multi-family, storage, land, debt, and all other forms of real estate.
Investing in REITs and real estate in general is a useful way to diversify returns from other assets like bonds and stocks. REITs can also offer large dividends, in the form of tenant rent, making owners of REITs like a landlord, and providing regular income.
Using the Zacks Rank I have identified three REITs with a high rank, and dividend yields greater than 10%.
Arbor Realty Trust
Arbor Realty Trust invests in a portfolio of structured finance assets in the multi-family, single-family rental, and commercial real estate markets in the U.S.. ABR is an investor in various real estate products including bridge, mezzanine, and mortgage debt, as well as preferred equity. Additionally, ABR is not be subject to federal corporate income taxes if it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders
Arbor Realty Trust is part of a subset of REITs that act as portfolio managers of various real estate financial products, rather than actual managers of physical real estate. All the REITs in the article are debt and financial product managers.
ABR currently earns a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), indicating positive earnings revisions trend. Because of the rapid rise in interest rates over the last year ABR, along with many other real estate finance businesses, are now earning more interest on their loans.
Currently trading at 8x one-year forward earnings, ABR is below its 10-year median of 10x and well off its high of 18x. To further sweeten the deal, Arbor offers a 10.5% dividend yield, padding the pockets of its investors.
ABR has been raising its dividend consistently for a decade, and has increased the payment by an average of 11% over the last five years.
Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance
Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance is a $1.6 billion market cap REIT with a 12% dividend yield. ARI operates under the well-known private equity and alternative asset management Apollo Global Management.
ARI is a real estate investment trust that primarily originates and invests in senior mortgages, mezzanine loans and other commercial real estate-related debt investments collateralized by properties throughout the United States and Europe. ARI offers financing across the spectrum of commercial real estate types.
ARI boasts a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), indicating a strong earnings revision trend. Apollo Real Estate Finance has, and continues to benefit from the rising interest rates environment. In the chart below we can see the 2023 EPS estimates have shot up over the last 30 days. Current quarter sales growth is projected to grow 33% to $74 million, and current quarter earnings are expected to grow 23% to $0.43 per share.
ARI trades at a one-year forward earnings multiple of 7.5x, which is in line with the industry’s average, and below its 10-year median of 10x.
Two Harbors Investments Corp
Two Harbors Investment Corp is a Real Estate Investment Trust that focuses on investing in, financing and managing residential mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans. Two Harbors invests in a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, focusing on security selection and the relative value of various sectors within the mortgage market.
It is worth noting that TWO stock hasn’t performed very well over the last decade, down -38% over that period, underperforming its industry average. So, while the 14.4% dividend yield is extremely appealing, it should be noted how the stock has performed historically.
TWO currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), indicating upward trending earnings revisions. Additionally, the stock is trading at a one-year forward earnings multiple of 11x. This is above the industry’s average of 8x, and above its 10-year median of 9x.
Bottom Line
REITs are a great way for investors seeking high dividends to build passive income. Because of the new economic environment of higher interest rates, real estate, and its associated debt is going to be earning higher cap rates and yields. It should be noted that when interest rates increase, assets prices, which are inversely correlated to rates, will go down.

29859.0 | 2023-03-01 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-5 | nan | nan | Designed to provide broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Value category of the market, the ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 02/03/2015.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry.
A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer 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.
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.
Methodologies like equal-weighting, one of the simplest options out there, fundamental weighting, and volatility/momentum based weighting are all choices offered to investors in this space, but not all of them can deliver superior returns.
Fund Sponsor & Index
Because the fund has amassed over $907.09 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, 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
Since cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.40% for SMDV, making it one of the more expensive products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.38%.
Performance and Risk
Year-to-date, the ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF return is roughly 5.43% so far, and is up about 2.52% over the last 12 months (as of 03/01/2023). SMDV has traded between $55.50 and $66.96 in this past 52-week period.
The ETF has a beta of 0.79 and standard deviation of 28.92% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 98 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 $23.64 billion in assets, Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF has $64.25 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.

Newmark Group Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.03 on 3/17/23, Weyerhaeuser Co will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.19 on 3/17/23, and Arbor Realty Trust Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.40 on 3/17/23. As a percentage of NMRK's recent stock price of $7.88, this dividend works out to approximately 0.38%, so look for shares of Newmark Group Inc to trade 0.38% lower — all else being equal — when NMRK shares open for trading on 3/2/23. Similarly, investors should look for WY to open 0.61% lower in price and for ABR to open 2.63% lower, all else being equal.
Below are dividend history charts for NMRK, WY, and ABR, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent ones declared.
Newmark Group Inc (Symbol: NMRK):
Weyerhaeuser Co (Symbol: WY):
Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR):
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 1.52% for Newmark Group Inc, 2.46% for Weyerhaeuser Co, and 10.53% for Arbor Realty Trust Inc.

TWO currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), indicating upward trending earnings revisions. Additionally, the stock is trading at a one-year forward earnings multiple of 11x. This is above the industry’s average of 8x, and above it’s 10-year median of 9x.

Bottom Line
REITs are a great way for investors seeking high dividends to build passive income. Because of the new economic environment of higher interest rates, real estate, and its associated debt is going to be earning higher cap rates and yields. It should be noted that when interest rates increase, assets prices, which are inversely correlated to rates, will go down.

What's Next for Arbor Realty Trust?
While Arbor Realty Trust has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Arbor Realty Trust: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.45 on $334.15 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.81 on $1.36 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

29867.0 | 2023-02-16 00:00:00 UTC | Brokers Suggest Investing in Arbor Realty Trust (ABR): Read This Before Placing a Bet | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/brokers-suggest-investing-in-arbor-realty-trust-abr%3A-read-this-before-placing-a-bet | nan | nan | When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
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 1.25, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by four brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.25 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the four recommendations that derive the current ABR, three are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 75% and 25% of all recommendations.

While the ABR calls for buying Arbor Realty Trust, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
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
Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether.
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.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
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?
Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Arbor Realty Trust, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has declined 0.9% over the past month to $2.09.
Analysts' growing pessimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates lower, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to plunge 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 #4 (Sell) for Arbor Realty Trust. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Therefore, it could be wise to take the Buy-equivalent ABR for Arbor Realty Trust with a grain of salt.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

29868.0 | 2023-02-15 00:00:00 UTC | Want Better Returns? Don?t Ignore These 2 Finance Stocks Set to Beat Earnings | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/want-better-returns-dont-ignore-these-2-finance-stocks-set-to-beat-earnings-3 | nan | nan | Wall Street watches a company's quarterly report closely to understand as much as possible about its recent performance and what to expect going forward. Of course, one figure often stands out among the rest: earnings.
Life and the stock market are both about expectations, and rising above what is expected is often rewarded, while falling short can come with negative consequences. Investors might want to try to capture stronger returns by finding positive earnings surprises.
Now that we know how important earnings and earnings surprises are, it's time to show investors how to take advantage of these events to boost their returns by utilizing the Zacks Earnings ESP filter.
The Zacks Earnings ESP, Explained
The Zacks Expected Surprise Prediction, or ESP, works by locking in on the most up-to-date analyst earnings revisions because they can be more accurate than estimates from weeks or even months before the actual release date. The thinking is pretty straightforward: analysts who provide earnings estimates closer to the report are likely to have more information.
The core of the ESP model is comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, where the resulting percentage difference between the two equals the Expected Surprise Prediction. The Zacks Rank is also factored into the ESP metric to better help find companies that appear poised to top their next bottom-line consensus estimate, which will hopefully help lift the stock price.
Bringing together a positive earnings ESP alongside a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better has helped stocks report a positive earnings surprise 70% of the time. Furthermore, by using these parameters, investors have seen 28.3% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.
Stocks with a ranking of #3 (Hold), or 60% of all stocks covered by the Zacks Rank, are expected to perform in-line with the broader market. Stocks with rankings of #2 (Buy) and #1 (Strong Buy), or the top 15% and top 5% of stocks, respectively, should outperform the market; Strong Buy stocks should outperform more than any other rank.
Should You Consider Arbor Realty Trust?
Now that we understand what the ESP is and how beneficial it can be, let's dive into a stock that currently fits the bill. Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) earns a #3 (Hold) right now and its Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.48 a share, just two days from its upcoming earnings release on February 17, 2023.
By taking the percentage difference between the $0.48 Most Accurate Estimate and the $0.47 Zacks Consensus Estimate, Arbor Realty Trust has an Earnings ESP of +2.86%. Investors should also know that ABR is one of a large group of stocks with positive ESPs. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
ABR is just one of a large group of Finance stocks with a positive ESP figure. MetLife (MET) is another qualifying stock you may want to consider.
MetLife is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on May 3, 2023. MET's Most Accurate Estimate sits at $1.95 a share 77 days from its next earnings release.
For MetLife, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.93 is +0.89%.
ABR and MET's positive ESP metrics may signal that a positive earnings surprise for both stocks is on the horizon.

29869.0 | 2023-02-14 00:00:00 UTC | Berkshire (BRK.B) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/berkshire-brk.b-to-report-q4-earnings%3A-whats-in-store | nan | nan | Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.B) is expected to report fourth-quarter 2022 earnings soon. BRK.B delivered an earnings surprise in each of the last four quarters, the average being 22.18%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $3.31 per share, indicating an increase of 1.2% from the year-ago quarter reported figure.
Factors to Consider
Berkshire Hathaway’s higher average premiums per auto policy due to rate increases, net increases from new property business and rates may have aided premium revenues. The upside is likely to have been partly offset by a decrease in policies in-force and unfavorable foreign currency translation effects.
Per Marsh, global commercial insurance prices in the fourth quarter of 2022 grew 4%. The price increase reflected the 21st consecutive quarter of increases since the beginning of the index in 2012. Pricing increases moderated in most regions, except for financial and professional lines.
Continued insurance business growth is expected to have increased float.
Higher average revenue per car per unit resulting from higher fuel surcharge revenues driven by higher fuel prices, along with increased rates per car per unit, are likely to have benefited the railroad business. The upside is likely to have been partly offset by lower overall freight volumes.
The Utilities and energy business is expected to have benefited from higher earnings from tax equity investments and from the natural gas pipeline and Northern Powergrid businesses. The increase is likely to have been partly offset by lower earnings from the U.S. regulated utilities and real estate brokerage businesses.
Manufacturing, service and retailing businesses are expected to have benefited from higher customer demand for products and services in many businesses.
Strategic acquisitions are likely to have boosted the insurer’s performance.
Expenses are expected to have increased on higher insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses, cost of sales and services, cost of leasing, interest expense, freight rail transportation expenses, utilities and energy cost of sales and other expenses.
What the Zacks Model Says
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Berkshire Hathaway this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That is not the case as you can see below.
Earnings ESP: Berkshire Hathaway has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. This is because both the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at $3.31. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

29871.0 | 2023-02-10 00:00:00 UTC | Here's What to Expect From Arch Capital's (ACGL) Q4 Earnings | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/heres-what-to-expect-from-arch-capitals-acgl-q4-earnings | nan | nan | Arch Capital Group Ltd. ACGL is slated to report fourth-quarter 2022 earnings on Feb 13, after market close. The insurer delivered an earnings surprise in three of the last four quarters while missing in one, the average being 15.37%.
Factors to Consider
Premiums in the fourth quarter are expected to have benefited significant growth in professional liability, including cyber as well as a strong increase in travel lines, new business opportunities, rate increases, growth in existing accounts, growth in Australian single premium mortgage insurance and increases across most lines of business. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net premiums earned is pegged at $2.5 billion, indicating an increase of 21% from the year-ago reported figure. We expect net premiums earned to be $2.5 billion.
Net investment income is likely to have benefited from strong positive cash flow from operations, combined with the proceeds from maturities and sales of securities and the effects of higher interest rates available in the market in the to-be-reported quarter. We expect net investment income to be $121 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for investment income is pegged at $133 million, indicating a 48% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
The top line is likely to have benefited from improved earned premiums, higher net investment income and other underwriting income. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.68 billion, indicating an increase of 22.5% from the year-ago reported figure. We expect total revenues to be $2.53 billion.
Expenses are expected to have increased on higher losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition expenses, other operating expenses and amortization of intangible assets. We expect total expenses to be $2.2 billion.
Higher-than-expected cat losses are likely to have weighed on underwriting profitability and thus, combined ratio. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for combined ratio is pegged at 85, indicating a deterioration of 700 basis points from the year-ago reported figure.
The continued share buyback is anticipated to have provided an additional boost to the bottom line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2022 earnings of $1.34 per share indicates an increase of 5.5% from the year-ago quarter reported figure. We expect the bottom line to be $1.26 per share for the to-be-reported quarter.

29872.0 | 2023-02-10 00:00:00 UTC | Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) Expected to Beat Earnings Estimates: Should You Buy? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/arbor-realty-trust-abr-expected-to-beat-earnings-estimates%3A-should-you-buy-0 | nan | nan | The market expects Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended December 2022. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on February 17. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on theearnings callwill mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.47 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -17.5%.
Revenues are expected to be $311.43 million, up 115.8% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.53% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Arbor Realty Trust?
For Arbor Realty Trust, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +2.86%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Arbor Realty Trust will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Arbor Realty Trust would post earnings of $0.45 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.56, delivering a surprise of +24.44%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Arbor Realty Trust appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Expected Results of an Industry Player
Among the stocks in the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry, Hannon Armstrong (HASI) is soon expected to post earnings of $0.48 per share for the quarter ended December 2022. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +2.1%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $32 million, up 4.8% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Hannon Armstrong has been revised 1.9% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -5.46%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Hannon Armstrong will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Arbor Realty Trust Declares $0.40 Dividend
Arbor Realty Trust said on November 4, 2022 that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share ($1.60 annualized). Shareholders of record as of November 17, 2022 received the payment on November 30, 2022. Previously, the company paid $0.39 per share.
At the current share price of $15.34 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 10.43%. Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 9.70%, the lowest has been 6.95%, and the highest has been 28.10%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.69 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is 0.27 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 0.80. 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 0.33%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.

29877.0 | 2023-02-03 00:00:00 UTC | First Week of March 17th Options Trading For Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/first-week-of-march-17th-options-trading-for-arbor-realty-trust-abr | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options become available this week, for the March 17th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new March 17th contracts and identified the following put contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $15.00 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 $15.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $14.50 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $15.26/share today.
Because the $15.00 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 55%. 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 3.33% return on the cash commitment, or 29.00% 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:
The implied volatility in the put contract example above is 35%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $15.26) to be 34%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29878.0 | 2023-02-02 00:00:00 UTC | 3 Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stocks You Won't Regret Owning in 2023 | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-ultra-high-yield-dividend-stocks-you-wont-regret-owning-in-2023 | nan | nan | Dividend stocks are a great way to mitigate downside risk, hedge against inflation, and generate reliable levels of passive income. Stocks with yields of greater than 7%, however, tend to be more trouble than they are worth. The long and short of it is that sky-high yields tend to be a byproduct of a declining share price in response to falling earnings, a high debt load, and/or an emerging competitive threat.
There are some clear exceptions to this general rule of thumb, however. Closed-end funds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and some actively managed diversified holding companies are purpose-built to return an outsize portion of cash flows to shareholders via regular distributions. What's more, these types of dividend plays frequently offer annualized yields in excess of 7%.

Here are three ultra-high-yield dividend equities poised to deliver solid returns for investors in 2023 and beyond.
1. Arbor Realty Trust
Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE: ABR) is a REIT with a current annualized yield of 10.75%. Apart from its enormous yield, Arbor is also noteworthy because it has raised its dividend for 10 consecutive quarters at the time of this writing.
Although the REIT largely specializes in low-risk multifamily units, it also earns revenue through loan origination fees, loan servicing fees, single-family rentals, and commercial real estate. Arbor thus sports a highly diversified revenue stream capable of generating stable levels of income through every type of business cycle.
Why is this REIT worth buying in an uncertain economic climate? Arbor's shares had a rare down period in 2022, falling by 28% in value last year. However, Arbor's stock has come storming back in early 2023 (up 15% year to date) in response to an improving macroeconomic landscape, its strong balance sheet, and its promising long-term outlook. Income investors, therefore, shouldn't hesitate to add this top-notch REIT to their portfolio this year.
2. Icahn Enterprises
Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ: IEP) is a master limited partnership with significant stakes across seven core business segments: investment, energy, automotive, food packaging, real estate, home fashion, and pharma. The company is named after its founder and largest shareholder, Carl Icahn. Icahn is a well-known activist investor. By taking an outsize position in a company, Icahn and his management team aim to change the way a business operates to maximize shareholder value.
At present, Icahn Enterprises offers investors a sky-high annualized yield of 14.91%. The company's enormous yield is the core reason its shares have consistently trounced the broader market over the past 22 years.
IEP Total Return Level data by YCharts
Although there is no sure thing when it comes to stock investing, Icahn Enterprises has doled out 70 straight quarterly distributions to shareholders. There simply aren't many income vehicles that offer a double-digit yield and 17-plus years of consistent payouts. Icahn Enterprises stock, in turn, ought to appeal to investors on the hunt for a dependable source of better-than-average passive income.
3. Medical Properties Trust
Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW) is a healthcare REIT with an annualized yield of 8.88%. At present, this healthcare REIT has raised its dividend for eight straight years.
The company offers leasing and financing services for healthcare facilities in 10 countries. Medical Properties Trust currently leases 434 healthcare facilities across the globe, including acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities, and inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, among others. This healthcare REIT is thus very diversified from both a geographic and facility-type standpoint.
What's the investing thesis? Medical Properties Trust is essentially a pure-play income vehicle. The company's top line is stagnant at the moment, but the nature of its business provides reliable sources of income. Not many hospitals default on their rent payments, after all. That being said, this rare risk factor did become an issue last year when one of its tenants -- Pipeline Health -- went through bankruptcy proceedings. Nonetheless, hospitals do tend to be stable, long-term tenants as a whole.
Medical Properties Trust, in turn, is a worth owning if you're looking for a healthy source of passive income.

In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Arbor Realty Trust has an Earnings ESP of +2.86% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner.
With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

29881.0 | 2023-01-30 00:00:00 UTC | ABR Named Top 10 REIT at Dividend Channel With 10.75% Yield | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abr-named-top-10-reit-at-dividend-channel-with-10.75-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 $14.89 represents a price-to-book ratio of 1.2 and an annual dividend yield of 10.75% — by comparison, the average stock in Dividend Channel's coverage universe yields 3.8% and trades at a price-to-book ratio of 2.6. 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 $1.6/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 11/17/2022. 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.

This compares to earnings of $0.25 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
A quarter ago, it was expected that this holding company for Riverview Community Bank would post earnings of $0.22 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.24, delivering a surprise of 9.09%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Riverview Bancorp, which belongs to the Zacks Financial - Savings and Loan industry, posted revenues of $16.66 million for the quarter ended December 2022, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.82%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $15.18 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Riverview Bancorp shares have lost about 6.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.6%.
What's Next for Riverview Bancorp?
While Riverview Bancorp has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Riverview Bancorp: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.24 on $14.9 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.90 on $65.7 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Financial - Savings and Loan is currently in the bottom 20% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the broader Zacks Finance sector, Arbor Realty Trust (ABR), has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2022.
This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.49 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -14%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Arbor Realty Trust's revenues are expected to be $310.97 million, up 115.5% from the year-ago quarter.

While the ABR calls for buying Arbor Realty Trust, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
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.
Zacks Rank Should Not Be Confused With ABR
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.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
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.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
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 a Good Investment?
Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Arbor Realty Trust, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $2.12.
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.

29891.0 | 2022-12-30 00:00:00 UTC | First Week of ABR February 2023 Options Trading | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/first-week-of-abr-february-2023-options-trading | nan | nan | Investors in Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR) saw new options begin trading this week, for the February 2023 expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABR options chain for the new February 2023 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $12.50 strike price has a current bid of 35 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $12.50, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $12.15 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $13.07/share today.
Because the $12.50 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 62%. 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 2.80% return on the cash commitment, or 20.86% 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 $12.50 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 5 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ABR stock at the current price level of $13.07/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 15.15% if the stock gets called away at the February 2023 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 15% 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 87%. 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 0.38% boost of extra return to the investor, or 2.85% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example, as well as the call contract example, are both approximately 37%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $13.07) to be 35%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

29893.0 | 2022-12-29 00:00:00 UTC | 3 Top Stocks With Dividend Yields Above 10% | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-top-stocks-with-dividend-yields-above-10 | nan | nan | It’s common for investors to park their hard-earned cash into income-generating assets. After all, there are few sweeter feelings than getting paid.
And in a historically-volatile 2022, many investors have turned to dividend-paying stocks.
It’s easy to understand why; dividends help alleviate drawdowns in other positions, and of course, it provides more than one way to reap a profit from your investment.
In addition, it’s common for companies to up their dividend payouts when business is fruitful, making them enticing investments for income-focused investors from a shorter-term perspective.
Three high-yield stocks – Capital Southwest CSWC, Arbor Realty Trust ABR, and Oaktree Specialty Lending OCSL – could all be considerations for investors looking to build a cash pile quickly.
Below is a chart illustrating the year-to-date performance of all three stocks, with the S&P 500 blended in as a benchmark.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Let’s take a closer look at each one.
Capital Southwest
Capital Southwest Corporation is a venture capital investment company focused on early-stage financings, expansion financings, management buyouts, and recapitalizations in a broad range of industry segments.
Analysts have raised their earnings outlook across the board as of late, landing CSWC into a favorable Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
CSWC’s annual dividend currently stands tall at 12.3%, nicely above its Zacks Finance sector average. Impressively, the company has upped its payout 13 times over the last five years, translating to a nearly 12% five-year annualized dividend growth rate.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Further, valuation multiples don’t appear stretched; CSWC shares currently trade at a 7.8X forward earnings multiple, nowhere near the 12.8X five-year median and its Zacks sector average.

Arbor Realty Trust
Arbor Realty Trust is a specialized real estate finance company investing in real estate-related bridge and mezzanine loans, preferred equity, mortgage-related securities, and other real estate-related assets. ABR currently sports a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Arbor Realty Trust’s annual dividend yield currently sits at a sizable 12.2%, notably higher than the Zacks Finance sector average. Undoubtedly worth highlighting, the company’s payout has grown by more than 13% over the last five years.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
ABR has been on an impressive earnings streak, exceeding the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate by at least 20% in each of its last ten quarters. Just in its latest release, the company penciled in a 24% EPS beat and reported revenue 5% above expectations.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Oaktree Specialty Lending
Oaktree Specialty Lending is a specialty finance company providing customized, one-stop credit solutions to companies with limited access to public or syndicated capital markets.
Like the stocks above, OCSL’s earnings outlook has turned bright as of late, helping push the stock into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
OCSL rewards its shareholders handsomely; its annual dividend currently yields 10.5% paired with a 13.3% five-year annualized growth rate.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Bottom Line
Investors should be aware that steep payouts can be unsustainable from a long-term perspective and typically get cut when business isn’t as fruitful, perhaps steering away income investors that prefer reliability.
When looking for dividend reliability, Dividend Aristocrats are a great option. A few currently top-ranked Dividend Aristocrats include Caterpillar CAT and Archer Daniels Midland ADM.
Still, all three stocks above – Capital Southwest CSWC, Arbor Realty Trust ABR, and Oaktree Specialty Lending OCSL – currently carry annual dividend yields greater than 10%, making them valid considerations for investors looking to stack cash quickly.

29894.0 | 2022-12-22 00:00:00 UTC | Is the Options Market Predicting a Spike in Arbor (ABR) Stock? | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-the-options-market-predicting-a-spike-in-arbor-abr-stock | 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 Jan 20, 2023 $2.50 Put 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 shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Arbor is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) in the REIT and Equity Trust industry that ranks in the Top 40% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, two analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 45 cents per share to 49 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Arbor 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.

29895.0 | 2022-11-18 00:00:00 UTC | 7 Top-Tier Dividend Stocks to Buy for 2023 | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/7-top-tier-dividend-stocks-to-buy-for-2023 | nan | nan | InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
In a market like this, you always can find dividend stocks to buy. If you’re like most investors, you probably can’t wait for 2023. History books will show that 2022 was a huge disappointment for the stock market, although it did create some compelling opportunities for top-tier dividend stocks.
First of all, dividend stocks are a huge benefit in any portfolio. Dividend stocks pay a quarterly or monthly payment to shareholders, who can use the money for income (a great idea for retirees). Or for younger investors, a regular dividend payment can be reinvested into the market to help grow your portfolio quicker.
My Dividend Grader is a great tool to find these top-tier dividend stocks to buy. The Dividend Grader evaluates dividend stocks on a variety of metrics and assigns a letter grade – just like in school, the best dividend stocks get an “A” or “B” rating.
It’s similar to my Portfolio Grader tool, which also grades stocks based on earnings, analyst sentiment, momentum and qualitative standards.
You can find great dividend stocks to buy in a variety of sectors – this list includes defense, energy, biotech, materials and real estate. While the names and sectors vary, all of these stocks have one thing in common – they’re among the best dividend stocks you can buy heading into 2023.
LMT Lockheed Martin $472.77
AMGN Amgen $287.30
ABR Arbor Realty Trust $14.01
SBLK Star Bulk Carriers $19.90
FANG Diamondback Energy $161.78
CMC Commercial Metals $47.65
DVN Devon Energy $70.99
Lockheed Martin (LMT)

Geopolitical tensions aren’t great for a lot of reasons, but one way to capitalize is defense contractors like Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT). Lockheed Martin is one of the biggest and most well-known contractors in the world and is always among the best dividend stocks to buy.
While the stock market spent much of 2022 in correction territory, LMT is up more than 30% on the year as the U.S. keeps a wary eye on the war in Ukraine and tensions with China and North Korea.
No doubt, Lockheed Martin makes money hand over fist. It brought in $16.58 billion just in the third quarter. While the company narrowly missed estimates of $16,68 billion, that appears to be a minor setback. Lockheed reaffirmed its outlook for the full year, for which it says it expects revenue of $65.25 billion and full-year earnings per share of $21.55.
Lockheed provides a solid dividend yield of 2.6%, helping push it to an “A” rating in the Portfolio Grader and a “B” rating in my Dividend Grader.
Amgen (AMGN)

As a top biotech stock, Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) is on the cutting edge of providing treatments for a variety of ailments, including rheumatoid arthritis, bone cancer and psoriasis.
While it’s not a household name, Amgen has succeeded in building an impressive pipeline of medications that keeps that revenue and earnings rolling in.
Revenue in the third quarter was $6.65 billion, topping estimates by $100 million. Earnings per share were also solid at $4.70 per share, better than the $4.45 that the experts predicted.
Meanwhile, the stock is up more than 18% so far this year with most of those gains coming since early September when Amgen impressed investors and analysts alike by unveiling updated long-term positive data about the effectiveness of Repatha drug that is used to treat high cholesterol.
AMGN stock has a dividend yield of 2.7%. It has an “A” rating in the Portfolio Grader and a “B” rating in my Dividend Grader.
Arbor Realty Trust (ABR)

If you’re looking for reliable income from a stock, it rarely hurts to consider the best real estate names in the market. One of the best right now is Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE:ABR), which is involved with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan programs, FHA and low-income loans, and bridge loans.
Arbor is a real estate investment trust or REIT. REITs are special types of investments because they are required to distribute 90% of their taxable earnings to shareholders. That can create some pretty extraordinary payout ratios and ABR is no exception – currently, it pays a dividend yield of 10.8%.
Admittedly, with high interest rates there’s always a risk that the housing market will be slow for a while. But ABR doesn’t seem to be affected by the problem. Arbor topped top- and bottom-line estimates for revenue and EPS in each of the first three quarters.
Arbor Realty has a “B” rating in the Dividend Grader.
Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK)
Source: Hieronymus Ukkel / Shutterstock.com
Star Bulk Carriers (NASDAQ:SBLK) has a stock price just under $20, but it paid a mammoth dividend over the last year of $6.55.
Its last three quarterly dividends came in at $1.25, $2 and $1.65. So, you’re looking at a dividend yield for SBLK of more than 30% right now.
Star Bulk transports dry bulk goods around the world on its fleet of 128 vessels. As the world is still coming to grips with the effects of Covid-19 shutdowns on the supply chain, Star Bulk’s vessels appear to be in demand. That should keep the profits coming in for shareholders.
SBLK stock has a “B” rating in my Portfolio Grader and an “A” rating in the Dividend Grader.
Diamondback Energy (FANG)
Source: Pavel Kapysh / Shutterstock.com
Texas-based Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:FANG) is an energy exploration company that is involved with petroleum, natural gas liquids and natural gas.
Its holdings are in the Permian Basin in west Texas, where it also recently acquired the assets of Lario Permian, a subsidiary of Lario Oil & Gas Co., in exchange for $850 million plus 4.18 million shares of FANG stock. The deal gives Diamondback access to another 25,000 acres in the Northern Midland Basin. The deal is expected to close in late January.
That keeps Diamondback in growth mode. The company reported revenue in Q3 of $2.44 billion, which was more than 30% greater than a year ago. The revenue number also beat analysts’ expectations of $2.42 billion. EPS for the third quarter was also a pleasant surprise, coming in at $6.48 versus expectations of $6.36.
FANG stock is up 48% so far this year and offers a dividend yield of 5.3%. Not surprisingly, it has “A” ratings in both the Dividend Grader and the Portfolio Grader.
Commercial Metals (CMC)
Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com
As a major provider of recycled steel, Commercial Metals (NYSE:CMC) maintains operations in the United States and Poland.
Its recycled metals are used in bridges, roads, automobiles, airports and other major buildings. The company is the largest manufacturer of steel reinforcing bar, known as rebar, in North America and central Europe.
Earlier this month, CMC completed its acquisition of a Texas metal recycling facility and related assets from Kodiak Resources, adding another 55,000 tons of annual capacity to its portfolio.
Earnings for the company’s fiscal fourth quarter beat estimates on both the top and bottom lines. CMC reported revenue of $2.41 billion and EPS of $2.45, versus estimates for $2.37 billion revenue and EPS of $2.23.
Commercial Metals stock is up 30% so far this year and has a dividend yield of 1.4%. That gives it “A” grades in both the Dividend Grader and the Portfolio Grader.
Devon Energy (DVN)
Source: Jeff Whyte / Shutterstock.com
No stock on this list has grown as much in 2022 as Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN). Fueled by higher oil and natural gas prices, Devon stock is up more than 60% on the year. And even if the globe sinks into a recession, Devon stock should be fine because analysts project crude oil prices to remain high for the next several years.
On Nov. 1, Devon announced a dividend of $1.35 per share; a 61% increase from a year ago. That puts Devon’s dividend yield at a whopping 7.3%.
The Oklahoma company should also benefit from the Biden administration’s deal with the European Union. Washington wants to reduce the EU’s reliance on Russian natural gas by providing at least 15 billion cubic meters of liquified natural gas in 2022.
As long as Russia remains at odds with the west, companies like Devon stand to capitalize in European markets.
DNV stock has an “A” rating in the Portfolio Grader and the Dividend Grader.

29896.0 | 2022-11-16 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 | 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 $1.6), with the stock changing hands as low as $14.49 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.

Western Alliance Bancorporation will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.36 on 12/2/22, Arbor Realty Trust Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.40 on 11/30/22, and Enact Holdings Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.14 on 12/6/22. As a percentage of WAL's recent stock price of $75.58, this dividend works out to approximately 0.48%, so look for shares of Western Alliance Bancorporation to trade 0.48% lower — all else being equal — when WAL shares open for trading on 11/17/22. Similarly, investors should look for ABR to open 2.67% lower in price and for ACT to open 0.54% lower, all else being equal.
Below are dividend history charts for WAL, ABR, and ACT, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent ones declared.
Western Alliance Bancorporation (Symbol: WAL):
Arbor Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: ABR):
Enact Holdings Inc (Symbol: ACT):
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 1.91% for Western Alliance Bancorporation, 10.67% for Arbor Realty Trust Inc, and 2.16% for Enact Holdings Inc.
In Tuesday trading, Western Alliance Bancorporation shares are currently up about 2.9%, Arbor Realty Trust Inc shares are up about 1.6%, and Enact Holdings Inc shares are up about 1.3% on the day.

29898.0 | 2022-11-11 00:00:00 UTC | Inflation at 7.7%: 2 ‘Strong Buy’ Dividend Stocks That Beat This Rate | ABR | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/inflation-at-7.7%3A-2-strong-buy-dividend-stocks-that-beat-this-rate | nan | nan | Sometimes, a single new data point can break up the most complacent of outlooks. After 10 months of markets trending down, inflation rising, and the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates, it was only natural to assume that the rest of the year held more of the same. And then October’s inflation print broke that mold.
It came in at 7.7% annualized, significantly less than the 8% expected. While still near 40-year highs, and still up 0.4% month-over-month, the October number indicates that the rate of increase may be slowing down. It’s not the end of inflation, but it has given investors a ray of hope. The S&P 500 jumped 5.54%, and the NASDAQ skyrocketed 7.35%, in the aftermath of the inflation data release.
So traders and investors are in optimistic moods, and it has them looking to buy. But a smart investor keeps sight of the underlying facts – and those facts are still tough. Inflation remains high; the Fed is still more likely than not going to raise rates again next month; investors will need a defensive stance to protect their portfolio.
And that’s going to draw us to the high-yield dividend stocks, the market’s classic defensive play. We’ve used the TipRanks data to look up two dividend payers that offer yields that beat the current inflation rate. And even better, they both have a ‘Strong Buy’ consensus rating from the wider analyst community. Let’s take a closer look.
Arbor Realty Trust (ABR)
If you’re looking into champion dividend stocks, we’ll have to look into a real estate investment trust. The companies, REITs, acquire, own, manage, and lease real properties of all sorts, residential and commercial, along with mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, and they are well-known for returning profits to shareholders through high dividends.
Arbor Realty Trust is a commercial REIT, focused on working with developers and funding multifamily residential projects – apartment complexes. Arbor also funds various commercial properties, and works with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on loan funding.
2022 has been a difficult year all around, so far, but Arbor has produced consistently strong quarterly financial performances. For the past several years, the company has shown top line revenues that are growing year-over-year – and bottom line earnings that are consistently beating the forecasts. In the most recent quarter, 3Q22, Arbor’s interest income came to $259.8 million, up an impressive 107% from the year-ago quarter.
In a metric of keen interest to dividend investors, the company generated a distributable income of 56 cents per diluted share. This was up 9.8% y/y, but more importantly, the distributable income supports the dividend – and that’s where this stock shines.
On November 4, Arbor declared its Q4 dividend at 40 cents per common share, or $1.60 annualized. This gives a powerful yield of 10.7%, about 5x the average yield found among div stocks in the broader markets. Just as important, Arbor has been raising its dividend for the past 4 years – an enviable record that includes 10 consecutive q/q increases leading up to the current declaration. The 40-cent dividend will be paid out on November 30.
In the eyes of Raymond James analyst Stephen Laws, who holds a 5-star ranking from TipRanks, all of this adds up to a company in a very solid position.
"We expect portfolio performance to remain strong given the multifamily focus with portfolio returns benefiting from higher interest rates, and the agency business and servicing portfolio provides better visibility into future cash flows than most peers. We are reiterating our Outperform rating given the strong 3Q results, our expectation of continued strong portfolio performance, benefits of increasing interest rates, the recent dividend increases, and the strong dividend coverage,” Laws opined.
Laws' Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating comes with a $18.50 price target, suggesting a one-year upside potential of 24%. Based on the current dividend yield and the expected price appreciation, the stock has ~35% potential total return profile. (To watch Laws’ track record, click here)
Overall, this ‘Strong Buy’ dividend stock has received 5 recent analyst reviews, which include 4 Buys and 1 Hold. The shares are selling for $14.92 and the $16.50 average price target suggests a gain of ~11% in the year ahead. (See ABR stock forecast on TipRanks)
OneMain Holdings (OMF)
From REITs we’ll shift gears and check out a financial firm, OneMain. This company focuses mainly on consumer finance, and offers a wide range of financial services to a sub-prime clientele that would not likely be able to access credit with larger establishment banks. OneMain has built itself into a leader in this niche; its services include consumer finance and credit, affordable loans, and insurance products. While OneMain’s target audience may not always be credit-worthy, the company screens them carefully and, by using equal care in designing its financial products, the company is able to keep the customer default rate to an acceptable level.
The company’s revenues have been consistent over the past couple of years, ranging between $1.2 billion and $1.29 billion. Earnings, however, have been more volatile. The Q3 result of $1.51 per diluted share was down sharply from the $2.37 reported in the year-ago quarter. OneMain finished the third quarter with $536 million in cash and other liquid assets.
This allowed OneMain to support a solid dividend. The company declared its Q4 dividend back in October at 95 cents per common, for payment on November 14. At the current rate, the dividend annualizes to $3.80 and brings a yield of 9.26%. This dividend is fully covered by earnings, compares favorably to the market-average yield of approximately 2%.
Also in Q3, OneMain spent $42 million on the repurchase of 1.2 million shares. With the dividend, this demonstrates the company’s significant commitment to maintaining capital returns to shareholders.
All in all, this stock presents a sound picture for return-minded dividend investors, according to Credit Suisse’s 5-star analyst Moshe Orenbuch.
The analyst says of OMF’s current standing, “Overall, we view the [recent third] quarter as positive. While OMF has significantly tightened credit, they have also taken pricing actions, which should allow yields to improve in 2023. OMF continues to benefit from competitors pulling back given its strong balance sheet that has room for secured funding and staggered debt maturities over the coming years. OMF should continue to generate significant capital, pay high dividend yield and repurchase shares.”
This top analyst doesn’t stop with an upbeat comment; he also gives the shares an Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating and a target price of $47 to indicates potential for ~15% share gains in the year ahead. (To watch Orenbuch’s track record, click here)
This non-traditional financial company attracted 9 analyst reviews recently, a total that includes 8 Buys against a single Hold to support a Strong Buy consensus rating. OMF stock is priced at $41 per share and its $46.44 average price target implies a one-year gain of ~13%. (See OMF stock forecast at TipRanks)

More details on Validea's John Neff strategy
About John Neff: While known as the manager with whom many top managers entrusted their own money, Neff was far from the smooth-talking, high-profile Wall Streeter you might expect. He was mild-mannered and low-key, and the same might be said of the Windsor Fund that he managed for more than three decades. In fact, Neff himself described the fund as "relatively prosaic, dull, [and] conservative." There was nothing dull about his results, however. From 1964 to 1995, Neff guided Windsor to a 13.7 percent average annual return, easily outpacing the S&P 500's 10.6 percent return during that time. That 3.1 percentage point difference is huge over time -- a $10,000 investment in Windsor (with dividends reinvested) at the start of Neff's tenure would have ended up as more than $564,000 by the time he retired, more than twice what the same investment in the S&P would have yielded (about $233,000). Considering the length of his tenure, that track record may be the best ever for a manager of such a large fund.
