Arbor Realty Trust

Arbor Realty Trust Inc is a specialized real estate finance company. It invests in a diversified portfolio of structured finance assets in the multifamily and commercial real estate markets, consisting of bridge and mezzanine loans, including junior participating interests in first mortgages, preferred, and direct equity.

Looking into the current session, Arbor Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABR#NYSE">ABR</a>) shares are trading at $11.33, after a 0.71% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock went up by 10.91%, but in the past year, decreased by 18.05%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>How Does Arbor Realty Trust P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Arbor Realty Trust has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 18.05 of the Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

P/E Ratio Insights for Arbor Realty Trust

It hardly seems possible that we have already covered six months of 2025. Of course at times it has seemed like 2025 has already lasted a decade.
This week I want to take a look at large C-Suite purchases that happened in the first six months of the year that have not yet delivered the hoped for gains. These stocks are trading at several times below their purchase price and may represent opportunities for patient investors willing to follow management&#8217;s lead.
Petco Health and Wellness Company (Ticker: WOOF) Petco is a category defining health and wellness company focused on improving the lives of pets, pet parents and partners. They operate more than 1,500 pet care centers across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico. For fiscal 2024, the company reported net revenue of $6.1 billion, down 2.2% year over year, with a net loss of $101.8 million compared to a $1.3 billion loss in 2023. That previous year loss included a $1.2 billion goodwill impairment charge, so the underlying business actually improved significantly.
The business model encompasses retail stores, services, e-commerce, and veterinary care across comprehensive pet wellness categories. Management expects double digit Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2025 and has reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 outlook despite incorporating tariff impacts. The company generated positive free cash flow of $49.7 million in 2024 compared to negative $9.9 million in 2023, demonstrating improved cash generation.
The pet industry&#8217;s defensive characteristics and ongoing premiumization trends support long term growth, though margin pressure from competitive dynamics and supply chain costs remain challenges. The company&#8217;s focus on health and wellness services provides differentiation opportunities.
Back in March CEO Joel Anderson bought $4.7 million worth of stock at around $3 a share. Clearly he is not looking for a few percentage points but is hoping that the stock regains some lost ground and becomes a five bagger or better for patient aggressive investors.
Bruker Corporation (Ticker: BRKR) Bruker drives profitable growth by enabling scientific discoveries and delivering high performance analytical, life science and diagnostic solutions as a market leader in high value analytical technologies. In 2024, Bruker&#8217;s revenue was $3.37 billion, an increase of 13.56% compared to the previous year&#8217;s $2.96 billion. The company holds over 1,200 patents globally and generated approximately $150 million in revenue from licensing in 2023, while allocating around 10% of annual revenue to R&amp;D.
Bruker reported preliminary Q1 2025 revenue of $795 to $800 million, implying approximately 10% year over year growth with low double digit constant currency growth. The company has consistently delivered above market organic revenue growth and double digit constant currency revenue growth, demonstrating the success of its Project Accelerate transformation.
Growth drivers include expansion in life sciences applications, particularly in proteomics and spatial biology, plus strong positioning in semiconductor metrology for AI applications. The company&#8217;s recurring service revenue and installed base provide stability, while innovation investments support premium pricing power.
CEO Frank Laukien has spent over $1.1 million so far this year buying stock in the open market. The stock is trading at about half of the 2024 highs, and it is clear the guy in charge thinks the shares can get back to there and beyond.
Heartland Express (Ticker: HTLD) Heartland Express operates as a short, medium, and long haul truckload carrier and transportation services provider in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The company reported Q1 2025 operating revenues of $219.4 million compared to $270.3 million in Q1 2024, with a net loss of $13.9 million. For full year 2024, operating revenue was $1.0 billion with a net loss of $29.7 million. As of 2024, Heartland Express operates a fleet of 1,890 tractors and 6,100 trailers with 14 strategic terminal locations.
CEO Mike Gerdin noted a &#8220;positive shift in customer rate and volume negotiations that we expect to strengthen as the year unfolds&#8221; despite ongoing freight market challenges. The global cold chain logistics market is projected to reach $340.3 billion by 2025 with a 9.6% compound annual growth rate, providing opportunities for Heartland&#8217;s specialized refrigerated transportation capabilities.
However, the company faces headwinds from elevated fuel costs, driver shortages, and cyclical freight market weakness. Recovery potential exists as freight markets normalize, and the company&#8217;s operational improvements gain traction.
Gerdin has backed up his optimism with cash as he has spent more than $2.4 million so far buying shares of Heartland this year.
Tidewater (Ticker: TDW) Tidewater owns and operates one of the largest fleets of offshore support vessels in the industry, with over 60 years of experience supporting offshore energy exploration and production activities worldwide. For 2024, Tidewater reported record revenue of $1.35 billion, up 33% from 2023, with net income of $180.7 million nearly doubling from $97.2 million in 2023. The average day rate increased 26.6% to $21,273 per day with Adjusted EBITDA growing 44.7% to $559.6 million.
Management provided 2025 revenue guidance of $1.32 to $1.38 billion with gross margin guidance of 48% to 50%, expecting similar or slightly better performance than 2024. According to management, &#8220;The offshore vessel supply situation remains favorable, with limited newbuilds on order and no deliveries expected in 2025.&#8221; The supply demand imbalance in offshore vessels supports continued rate improvements. Energy transition investments in offshore wind also present growth opportunities. Key risks include oil price volatility, regulatory changes, and potential new vessel capacity additions.
In December CEO Quintin Kneen spent $2 million buying shares. Noted value investor and board member Robert Robotti has spent over $2 million on stock this year as well.
Amcor (Ticker: AMCR) Amcor develops, produces, and sells packaging products globally, operating in two segments: Flexibles and Rigid Packaging across food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical, fresh produce, and personal care industries. In fiscal 2024, 41,000 Amcor people generated $13.6 billion in annual sales from operations spanning 212 locations in 40 countries. Net sales of $13.64 billion were 7% lower than the previous year, reflecting approximately 5% lower volumes and unfavorable price/mix impact.
Amcor is committed to 100% recyclable or reusable packaging by 2025, currently at 95.7%, and 30% recycled content by 2030, positioning the company well for sustainability driven demand. The company&#8217;s focus on innovation, sustainability leadership, and customer centricity provides competitive advantages in premiumization trends. Growth drivers include e-commerce packaging demand, healthcare packaging expansion, and sustainable packaging solutions. Challenges include raw material cost volatility, competitive pricing pressure, and economic sensitivity affecting packaging demand.
CEO Peter Konieczny has invested an additional $1 million in Amcor shares so far in 2025 at higher prices.
Arbor Realty Trust (Ticker: ABR) Arbor Realty Trust is a nationwide real estate investment trust and direct lender providing loan origination and servicing for multifamily, single family rental portfolios, and other diverse commercial real estate assets. For 2024, the company reported distributable earnings of $1.74 per share with a return on equity of approximately 14%. The servicing portfolio grew 8% year over year to $33.5 billion. As of Q1 2025, the company&#8217;s loan and investment portfolio averaged $11.39 billion with a weighted average yield of 8.15%.
Management expects distributable earnings of $0.30 to $0.35 per quarter in 2025, down from $0.40 in Q4 2024, reflecting elevated interest rate challenges. The company closed a $1.15 billion repurchase facility with JPMorgan, generating approximately $80 million in additional liquidity. Single family rental business achieved $1.7 billion in new loans in 2024, surpassing previous year production.
Growth potential exists in the expanding single family rental market and eventual interest rate normalization, though near term earnings face pressure from real estate owned repositioning costs and elevated funding costs.
CEO Ivan Kaufman has spent about $2 million buying stock this year and several other officers and directors have also been buying stock in hopes of a multi-bagger rebound.
VF Corporation (Ticker: VFC) VF Corporation is a portfolio of leading outdoor, active and workwear brands, including The North Face, Vans, Timberland, and Dickies. The company completed the sale of Supreme brand on October 1, 2024, and used proceeds to pay down its $1 billion term loan. VF operates through a diversified portfolio strategy spanning outdoor recreation, lifestyle footwear, and workwear categories with global reach across multiple distribution channels.
Management noted &#8220;sequential and broad based improvement in year on year trends&#8221; with progress on four Reinvent priorities and tracking toward $300 million savings target by end of fiscal year 2025. The company is implementing transformation program &#8220;Reinvent&#8221; to build new capabilities and leverage its brand portfolio for sustainable profitable growth. Recovery potential exists through brand repositioning, operational efficiency improvements, and market share gains in outdoor/active categories. However, challenges include Vans brand struggles.
CEO Bracken Darell has purchased over $1 million of stock recently and CFO Abhishek Dalmia spent almost $600,000 buying additional shares as well.
The Bottom Line When CEOs and other insiders are putting their own money where their mouth is, it&#8217;s worth paying attention. These seven companies represent different sectors and different challenges, but they all have one thing in common: management believes strongly enough in the turnaround story to risk significant personal capital. Of course, insider buying doesn&#8217;t guarantee success. Management can be wrong about their own companies. But it does provide a useful screen for finding potential opportunities where the people who know the business best are betting on recovery. For patient investors willing to do their homework and accept the risks, these conviction plays may offer the potential for outsized returns as these businesses work through their current challenges.

Unlike growth-oriented assets, which depend on share price appreciation, dividend-paying stocks generate regular payouts.
But why do so many investors run to dividend stocks and ETFs? Dividends offer a way to compound wealth by reinvesting the generated income while also providing financial stability in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476778/author-says-dave-ramsey-is-completely-ignorant-of-sequence-of-returns-risk-questions-whether-1-million-is-really-enough-for-retirement">retirement</a>. High-quality dividend companies also have a history of increasing payouts year after year, helping investors keep up with inflation.

</ul>
Still, total returns are also important in investing, as one investor demonstrated. The investor, a Reddit user who shared his journey in the r/Dividends community, is a 61-year-old retiree who spent 37 years building his portfolio on growth before switching to a dividend strategy when approaching retirement. He ultimately crafted a portfolio yielding around 8% and named his top holdings in the thread.
&#8220;My big break was being mostly cash in early 2020 because I felt the market had gotten too expensive. That was largely luck but it worked great. March 2020 was really fun. I spent between $1 million to $2 million on stocks in about 30 days and the resulting market rise after that secured my retirement. When I started learning about dividends, I included it as one option but still looked at it from a perspective of total returns,&#8221; he shared.
Now, he lives comfortably off dividends, rarely selling stocks for income, and relying on growing dividend payouts. The investor has shared his holdings in the Reddit community, so let&#8217;s see what they are.

</ul>
One Reddit user, a 58-year-old investor with a $3 million portfolio, is making a bold move like this. He is considering reallocating $1 million to dividend-focused investments to test the waters before retiring. His goal is to generate $55,000 annually in dividends while making sure his portfolio remains steady enough to support his lifestyle in retirement.
&#8220;I have about a $3 million portfolio mostly spread between mutual funds and individual stocks but I have never focused on dividends. I am now 58 and thinking about putting 1/3 or $1 million into dividend ETFs and stocks in preparation for retirement,&#8221; the investor wrote.
His proposed allocation includes a combo of ETFs and stocks, such as Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>), Realty Income Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>), Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARCC#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>), Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>), JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPI#NYSE">JEPI</a>), and JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPQ#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>), aiming for a 5.5% yield.

Still, the poster is unsure whether his allocation is optimal, especially when it comes to stocks like O and ARCC, and whether the ETFs he selected offer enough diversification and yield. The Reddit community has offered the investor plenty of advice and insights, so let&#8217;s see these.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$1 Million Reallocation For Retirement–Reddit Analyzes the Stock and ETF Selection</h2>
Diversify and Consider Risk Management
Many community members mentioned how important diversification in investing is, especially when it comes to a retirement portfolio, so they suggested replacing individual stocks with ETFs for risk reduction and simplification.
&#8220;I'd avoid individual stocks in a retirement account, like O and ARCC. I'd go with the ETF [Putnam BDC Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pbdc#NYSE">PBDC</a>)] for more diversification. I&#8217;d have you investing $1 million into: SCHD 27%, JEPI 11%, [Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vymi#NASDAQ">VYMI</a>)] 11%, JEPQ 10.5%, [NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqqi#NASDAQ">QQQI</a>)] 9.7%, [NEOS S&amp;P 500 High Income ETF (CBOE: SPYI)] 9.5%, PBDC 6.6%, [Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/abr#NYSE">ABR</a>)] 6%, [STAG Industrial, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stag#NYSE">STAG</a>)] 3.55%, [Reaves Utility Income Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/utg#NYSE">UTG</a>)] 3.5%, and your yield would be over 8% with $6,800 per month dividend income on average,&#8221; a comment reads.
&#8220;Switch XLU with more SCHD. I like [VICI Properties Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vici#NYSE">VICI</a>)] more than O; VICI is literally recession-proof. Also, I would get rid of JEPI for more JEPQ or SPYI,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
A user pointed out that the investor has no global diversification, which can offer stability for a portfolio.
&#8220;You&#8217;ve got no international positions either. Legendary investors like Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch have both said that you should invest in companies that any idiot can run because sooner or later, one will. The same is true of countries,&#8221; he said.

Think About Yield Optimization and Tax Efficiency
Commenters also focused on how the investor can maximize yield while maintaining tax efficiency, particularly since he is planning for retirement.
&#8220;I would personally put the bulk of money in high-yield funds like [iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pff#NASDAQ">PFF</a>)] with a 6% yield, PBDC 9%, and JEPQ. ARCC is a [business development company] and they are required to pay out most of their earnings so the dividends are high for many BDCs. PBDC invests in the best BDCs they can find, including ARCC. This adds diversification. You could also have some money in [Schwab High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scyb#NYSE">SCYB</a>)], a corporate bond fund with a yield of 7%, and the rest in SCHD and XLU. I don&#8217;t see a reason to keep JEPI,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
&#8220;We are retired early and in the process of migrating from dividend growth to dividend income in our taxable account. SPYI and [NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqqi#NASDAQ">QQQI</a>)] use return of capital in their distributions so they work well in taxable accounts. I also like some [closed-end funds] such as [Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eoi#NYSE">EOI</a>)] and [Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eos#NYSE">EOS</a>)] that use long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in their distributions,&#8221; a retiree in the comments recommended.
A Redditor considered the poster&#8217;s strategy way too conservative and advised him to go more aggressive to boost income and overall returns.
&#8220;In my opinion, you are short-changing yourself with such a conservative dividend income portfolio. I hold JEPQ and other high dividend funds and ETFs and am getting a yield of 12%+ with 26% total return in 2024,&#8221; he said.

Shares of several banking and broader financial stocks are trading higher in sympathy with overall market sentiment after the Fed policy decision to keep rates unchanged.

Arbor Realty Trust's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABR#NYSE">ABR</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.86% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 62.94 million shares sold short, which is 45.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 8.55 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Arbor Realty Trust has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Arbor Realty Trust's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Arbor Realty Trust's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.29%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
