On November 17, 2023, hedge fund Viceroy released a research report entitled "Arbor Realty Trust – Slumlord Millionaires." In its report, Viceroy concluded that "Arbor's high-risk multifamily bridge loans, which comprise substantially all of its asset book, are going bad fast… The end is near." Then, on December 5, 2023, after purportedly receiving information from "whistleblowers" regarding distressed Arbor deals and underlying assets, Viceroy released a second research report on the company entitled, "Arbor – Jacksonville Case Study." The second report highlighted three multifamily properties in the Jacksonville, Florida area encumbered by Arbor loans, which Viceroy submits have property values likely below Arbor's loan balances. Asserting that Arbor's "entire loan book is distressed and underlying collateral is vastly overstated", Viceroy concluded that "Arbor is a donut. $0.00."
On this news, Arbor's stock price fell $0.71 per share, or 5.12%, over two trading sessions, to close at $13.15 per share on December 6, 2023.
