This 13% Dividend Stock is Still Attractive: ABR Stock

One high-yielding stock that's been battered over the past couple years is Arbor Realty Trust, ticker ABR. During this time, this company has been going through a high interest rate environment, several attacks by short-seller groups, and a slowing housing market. Last week I mentioned that despite these concerns, I still see opportunity in this stock, and I recently bought a small number of additional shares. In that video I gave a brief overview of the recent developments surrounding this company, but I didn't go too in-depth. So in this video I want to dig deeper into the current state of Arbor Realty as well as the new round of allegations that came out last week.

As I discussed last week, Arbor Realty is a company that specializes in loan origination and loan servicing, primarily in the multifamily sector. They issue floating-rate bridge loans to real estate owners, developers, and investors. There are several purposes for these loans, but the most common things they're used for are property acquisitions, renovations, and construction. Companies will use these bridge loans to make a large transaction, while they're still working out the conditions for longer-term financing. So, for example, an investor might want to move ahead with the purchase of a multifamily property, but they haven't worked out a financing agreement, which can take months to finalize.

I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

I am regretting not investing in stocks ever since but still grateful to have some reserve in the money market. With about $200k maturing soon, I plan investing in the stock market. What stocks should I look into as a newbie to safely grow my money for the next 5 years?

Have held ABR for years. Good company and great dividend payer. Will continue to add shares when the price dips.

I'm invested in ABR for the long term. Their ratings are good and the numbers sound. I expect a very nice jump in their Financials once the fed cuts rates. Not selling my 455 shares any time soon.

I really like this stock and love the dividends on my 5000 plus shares. Every time it drops, i buy some and tell myself i will sell it when it goes up, but i can't seem to let the shares go.

I would think that a major benefit of dividend investing is that calculating portfolio size needed is not relevant. We don't care about the value of the portfolio. We care about the sustainable income it pays. As you invest you can gradually see the income rise as you invest more and pull the retirement trigger when it's high enough regardless of the market sentiment.

ABR has paid a rising dividend with no cuts for last 12 years

The tokenomics and use case for Papenova protocol is fantastic!

[zacworld]

Thank you for doing this video. I'm definitely long on ABR. I've used these ridiculous frivolous short attacks as opportunities to accumulate more shares.

You made some very good points 👍 I like ABR too 🙂

MPW has been such a good deal, going to buy some ABR too. Have to hand it to Viceroy. They consistently picked good companies to attack, bringing the share prices down to the point they become great stocks to buy.

I bought ABR on april 1 and again on the 11th I now have 4228 shares and am up just under %3 in total before dividends. Speaking of which I will receive my first quarterly dividend payment of $1818 the 31st of this month. I'm a happy camper so far
