ACRE's chronic loan defaults and poor underwriting make it the top mortgage REIT to avoid, despite recent distribution cuts. Recent results show a record distributable earnings loss, with only 9 cents per share versus a 15-cent distribution. Balance sheet leverage is lower, but another large office loan is distressed, and interest margins have collapsed nearly 50% year-over-year.
Ares Commercial Real Estate (ACRE) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.51 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.02. This compares to a loss of $0.12 per share a year ago.
