About the Arbor Realty Trust class action lawsuit

A securities class action has been filed against Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Arbor Realty securities between February 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026 (the “Class Period”). The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Investors who want to ask the court to appoint them lead plaintiff must do so by January 8, 2027. If you invested in Arbor Realty during the Class Period and suffered losses, contact Kaplan Fox using the form on this page, by emailing pmayer@kaplanfox.com, or by calling (646) 315-9003.

What the lawsuit alleges

According to the complaint, as the Company entered fiscal year 2026, Arbor Realty claimed that it had “ring-fenced the majority of [its] nonperforming and subperforming loans” and assured investors throughout the Class Period that Arbor Realty had “clear visibility to resolution on non-performing assets.”

What happened to Arbor Realty Trust stock

The truth allegedly began to emerge on May 8, 2026, before the market opened, when the Company reported 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 the prior year and also reported that problem loan resolution had slowed. According to the complaint, Arbor Realty’s CEO 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.”

On May 8, 2026, Arbor Realty stock fell $0.96 per share, or 11.75%, to close at $7.21 per share.

Then, on October 30, 2026, before the market opened, the full truth allegedly emerged when Arbor Realty issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, including a GAAP net loss of $(85.4) million, or $(0.51) per diluted common share and suspended its quarterly cash dividend. The complaint further alleges that the Company revealed it had thirty-two non-performing loans with a UPB of $647.6 million compared to nineteen non-performing loans with a UPB of $428.8 million at June 30, 2026.

On this news, Arbor Realty stock fell $0.88, or 29.14%, to close at $2.14 on October 30, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Who may be eligible

The proposed class includes investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Arbor Realty securities between February 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026. If you bought during that period and suffered losses, you may be a member of the class.
