Securities Class Action Against Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (ABR):

Arbor Realty Trust is under mounting pressure from investors and regulators as a surge in delinquent loans casts a shadow over the company’s financial health. The multifamily lender reported disappointing second-quarter earnings on August 2, with a 10% jump in delinquencies to $1 billion highlighting the deteriorating quality of its loan portfolio.

The earnings miss comes as Arbor is facing a class-action lawsuit alleging the company misled investors about its financial performance. Filed in late July in the Eastern District of New York, the suit claims Arbor painted an overly optimistic picture of its business, particularly the quality of its loan book.

Investor concerns about Arbor’s financial health emerged in Mar. 2023 when NINGI Research questioned the value of the company's real estate holdings, particularly its mobile home portfolio. The report triggered a decline in Arbor’s stock price as investors digested the implications for the company’s overall financial performance.

The pressure on Arbor intensified in Dec. 2023, when activist short seller Viceroy Research released a scathing report alleging widespread issues with the company's loan book. The report further eroded investor confidence, sending the stock price lower.

However, the most significant blow to Arbor came on July 12, 2024, when news of a federal investigation into the company's lending practices broke. The revelation sent the stock price into a tailspin, wiping out billions in shareholder value.

“We are looking into allegations that Arbor misled investors about the true nature of its business risks,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
