Kirby McInerney Investigates Arbor Realty Trust After $85.4 Million Quarterly Loss

Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating whether Arbor Realty Trust and members of its senior management may have violated federal securities laws, the firm said in a GlobeNewswire release published November 5, 2026. No lawsuit has been filed. Arbor Realty Trust is a publicly traded REIT and direct lender founded in 1993 that originates and services multifamily, commercial and single-family rental real estate loans through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA and proprietary structured finance products.

Inside The Arbor Realty Trust Investigation

The investigation follows Arbor Realty Trust's third-quarter 2026 results, announced October 30, 2026, which showed a net loss of $85.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, against net income of $38.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2025. CEO Ivan Kaufman said, "We 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 as a result of the significant increase in rates, which again has accelerated delinquencies and delayed the timing of the resolution of certain assets." The company also suspended its quarterly cash dividend on common stock effective immediately, saying it acted "during this challenging environment to preserve capital and maintain financial flexibility." Arbor Realty shares fell $0.88, or about 29.1%, from $3.02 on October 29, 2026 to close at $2.14 on October 30, 2026. The future of trading reported on November 4, 2026 that Holzer & Holzer announced its own investigation into Arbor Realty Trust's compliance with federal securities laws, citing the same $85.4 million quarterly loss and $1.25 billion in nonperforming assets. Kirby McInerney is a New York-based plaintiffs' law firm focused on securities, antitrust, whistleblower and consumer litigation, according to the release.
