A securities class action has been filed against Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR). The named plaintiff is Todd Greenbaum, who brings the case on behalf of investors who purchased Arbor Realty Trust securities. The suit names the company along with two senior executives.
The complaint alleges the defendants made materially false and misleading statements about the company's troubled loans. They told investors Arbor had a clear path to resolve nearly all of its delinquencies by the end of 2026. The lawsuit claims this picture did not match reality.
According to the complaint, Arbor's non-performing assets were growing despite its earlier resolution projections. The company later disclosed that total non-performing assets had risen to roughly $1.25 billion. That was up around $200 million from the prior quarter, and the complaint alleges investors suffered losses following the company's disclosures about its financial results and troubled assets.
Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR) is a real estate investment trust headquartered in Uniondale, New York. The company invests in and manages a portfolio of real estate related loans and assets, including multifamily and commercial real estate financing.
February 27, 2026 through October 30, 2026, inclusive.
Investors who purchased or acquired Arbor Realty Trust (ABR) securities during the Class Period may be eligible to seek recovery under the federal securities laws.
The complaint alleges that Arbor Realty Trust, together with Chief Executive Officer Ivan Kaufman and Chief Financial Officer Paul Elenio, made materially false and misleading statements to investors about the company's non-performing loans and real estate owned (REO) assets during the class period. According to the complaint, the company publicly portrayed itself as having a defined and accelerating path to resolve the bulk of its delinquent loans.
Throughout the period, the lawsuit claims, defendants assured investors that Arbor had "clear visibility to resolution on non-performing assets" and was "singularly focused on accelerating the resolution of non-performing assets." The company projected it would take back between $50 million and $125 million of non-performing loans as REO assets, resolve between $350 million and $400 million of these assets during the year, and bring the REO balance down to approximately $300 million by the end of 2026. Defendants described a "defined path to resolve nearly all existing delinquencies and reduce REO substantially by year-end," and stated this "aggressive resolution pace will resolve nearly all of these delinquencies by year end."
The complaint alleges these statements lacked a reasonable basis and were materially false and misleading. In reality, according to the filing, the company's non-performing assets were not being resolved as represented but were instead growing. Kaufman is quoted acknowledging the company was "pushing our timetable out a little bit," which the complaint alleges contradicted the earlier assurances of rapid resolution.
The lawsuit claims defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that the optimistic resolution timeline was not achievable and that growing delinquencies, losses, reserves, and impairments threatened Arbor's earnings and ability to sustain its dividend.
According to the complaint, the alleged problems began to emerge on May 8, 2026, when Arbor reported first-quarter results showing net income of $0.6 million, compared with $30.4 million in the prior-year quarter. The company also disclosed that its total allowance for loan losses had increased to $131.2 million. During the related earnings call, CEO Ivan Kaufman acknowledged that Arbor was "pushing our timetable out a little bit" in resolving non-performing and subperforming loans. Following these disclosures, Arbor shares fell $0.96, or 11.75%, to close at $7.21 on May 8, 2026, according to the complaint.
The complaint alleges that further information emerged on October 30, 2026, when Arbor reported third-quarter results that included an $85.4 million GAAP net loss and suspension of its quarterly cash dividend. Arbor disclosed thirty-two non-performing loans with an unpaid principal balance of $647.6 million, before related loan loss reserves of $41.9 million, compared to nineteen non-performing loans with an unpaid principal balance of $428.8 million, before loan loss reserves of $31.1 million, at June 30, 2026.
The company further revealed that it had ended the third quarter with approximately $750 million of delinquencies and around $500 million of REO assets, for total non-performing assets of roughly $1.25 billion. According to the complaint, this figure was up around $200 million from the prior quarter. The lawsuit claims this disclosure exposed that Arbor's non-performing assets were increasing rather than being resolved, directly contradicting the earlier representations that the company had a clear path to eliminate nearly all of its delinquencies by year-end.
Following the October 30 disclosures, Arbor shares fell $0.88, or 29.14%, to close at $2.14, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit alleges that these disclosures revealed previously concealed risks and contributed to investor losses.
● Lead Plaintiff Deadline: January 8, 2027
● After the lead plaintiff deadline, the Court will consider any lead plaintiff motions.
● Defendants may file a motion to dismiss.
● If the case proceeds, the Court may later consider class certification.

The lawsuit is a securities class action filed against Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR) and two senior executives. The complaint alleges defendants made materially false and misleading statements about the company's non-performing loans and real estate owned (REO) assets. According to the complaint, Arbor told investors it had a clear and accelerating path to resolve nearly all of its delinquencies and substantially reduce REO by year-end 2026, while allegedly concealing that non-performing assets were in fact growing.

The complaint names three defendants: Arbor Realty Trust, Inc., Chief Executive Officer Ivan Kaufman, and Chief Financial Officer Paul Elenio.

The company projected resolving $350 million to $400 million of assets during the year and reducing the REO balance to about $300 million.
