What happened?

On May 8, 2026, before the market opened, Arbor Realty issued a press release announcing first quarter 2026 results, including net income for the quarter of $0.6 million, compared to net income of $30.4 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The Company had 19 non-performing loans with an unpaid principal balance of $481.5 million, before related loan loss reserves of $16.1 million, compared to 26 non-performing loans with a UPB of $569.1 million, before related loan loss reserves of $10.2 million as of December 31, 2025. During the related conference call held the same day, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Kaufman, stated the Company was “pushing our timetable out a little bit” to resolving nonperforming and subperforming loans. Further, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Paul Elenio, purported to reassure investors that the Company maintained its “expectation that we will resolve the bulk of our delinquent loans by the end of the year.” Elenio stated, “This should put our REO assets between $250 million and $300 million by the end of ‘26 and greatly improve our run rate of income for the future.”

On this news, Arbor Realty stock fell $0.96, or 11.75%, to close at $7.21 on May 8, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on October 30, 2026, before the market opened, Arbor Realty issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2026. Among other things, the Company reported a GAAP net loss of $(85.4) million and that the Company would suspend its quarterly cash dividend. The Company revealed the number of nonperforming loans had increased from 19 to 32 and they had a UPB of $647.6 million, before related loan loss reserves of $41.9 million. During the related earnings call, Defendant Kaufman disclosed the Company “ended the third quarter with approximately $750 million of delinquencies and around $500 million of REO assets for total nonperforming assets of roughly $1.25 billion, which is up around $200 million from last quarter’s numbers.”

On this news, Arbor Realty stock fell $0.88, or 29.14%, to close at $2.14 on October 30, 2026, thereby further injuring investors.

What is the Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. lawsuit about?

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the loans Defendants described as “ring-fenced” were not contained; (2) the Company lacked a reasonable basis to represent that the Company would resolve nearly all existing delinquencies by year-end 2026; (3) the Company could not reasonably reduce its REO balance at the pace predicted by year-end 2026; (4) the resulting losses, reserves, and impairments threatened the Company’s earnings and its ability to sustain its dividend; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than 60 days from the date of this notice to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff.
