Position among covered Financials companies that report each metric (minimum 5 peers). A relative position within our covered catalog — not a valuation, quality, or investment judgment. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, ABR's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (earnings payout 203%, operating-cash-flow payout 86%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payout203% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout86% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How ARBOR REALTY TRUST REIT INC looks technically
ARBOR REALTY TRUST REIT INC (ABR) is trading 51.4% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 226 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 51, with sellers in control. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 13, in oversold territory (below 30). It just made a new 20-day low, breaking below its recent trading range. It is trading right at its lowest price of the past year (its 52-week low).
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 51.4% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -51.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $4.68 | $4.68 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $6.36 | $6.36 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 35 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 35 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 5.27. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 226 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 226 sessions |

Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 13, in oversold territory (below 30) | 13.5 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the bottom of its 14-day range ($3.08 to $4.46) — its "stochastic" reading is 1 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 0.7 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 22 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $34.45 (set on 2007-02-20) | $34.45 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($3.09 to $12.09), and it has recovered essentially none of its fall from last year’s high — 0% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $8.65 to $8.94. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 0.0% |
| From the all-time high | it is 91.0% below its all-time high | -91.0% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 58.6% below a resistance level at $4.90 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-08-18, most recently on 2026-09-01. Since 2024-10-08 it has 0 such levels below the current price and 20 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +58.6% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.56 (set on 2009-03-02) | $0.56 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 451.8% above its all-time low | +451.8% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 89% of the past ~6 months) | 89th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.1936 between its high and its low — about 6.3% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.1936 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $3.10 and $4.96 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $3.10 – $4.03 – $4.96 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 6.3% in a typical session — more volatile than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 6.3% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 16.9 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (51.4% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 16.9 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.9% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.5% below the previous close 7 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 4.08 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -2.5% |
| Gap filled | a 3.2% gap down opened on 2026-08-14 has been "filled" 35 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 3 sessions to close | 35 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed lower 2 sessions in a row, a -11.46% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 2 sessions down |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: its RSI momentum gauge is oversold (a beaten-down reading), near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 7 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 7 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 39% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thin, spanning 0.3% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -39.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 50% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $6.13 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 192 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -49.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 32% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-31 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $4.52 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 49 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -31.6% |
Price levels it has turned at before
ABR last closed at $3.09 on 2026-10-08. Since 2024-10-08 it has turned at 0 prices below its last close and 20 above; the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |

Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $5.27.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones. It was chosen from 3 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
This reading has stood for 20 trading days, since 2026-09-11.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

Short interest (FINRA)
ABR had 42,111,411 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
ABR had 22.6% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 11.16 days to cover at the same settlement.

- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 22.6%
- Prior settlement (shares) 43,772,850
- Reported change -3.8%
- Days to cover (reported) 11.16
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
