FBRT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Franklin BSP Realty Trust Inc. aims to increase quarterly distributable EPS by $0.04-$0.06 per share through the strategic calling and releveraging of old CLOs, which may positively impact earnings. The company anticipates long-term growth in book value and economic asset value (EAD) as it consolidates its operations onto a single platform, enabling the incorporation of mortgage banking earnings. Additionally, with the expectation of resuming origination activities by the end of the third quarter and a robust pipeline of opportunities, Franklin BSP Realty Trust is well-positioned for net portfolio growth into year-end.
Bears say
Franklin BSP Realty Trust has experienced a notable decline in its portfolio principal balance, decreasing by $263 million to a total of $4.5 billion across 147 loans, which raises concerns about overall growth potential. The concentration of the portfolio in multifamily assets and a specific geographical region may pose risks associated with market volatility and economic fluctuations in those sectors. Furthermore, the trust's financing costs are expected to remain elevated compared to peers, which could adversely affect returns to shareholders and contribute to a negative outlook.
This aggregate rating is based on analysts' research of Franklin BSP Realty Trust Inc and is not a guaranteed prediction by Public.com or investment advice.
