Ares Commercial has faced significant challenges due to losses in its office loan portfolio, leading to two dividend cuts in three years. The REIT's shares are trading at a steep 50% discount to book value, reflecting investor doubts about its earnings and portfolio quality. Despite reducing its office loan portfolio by 46% since Q1 2023, the REIT still earns less than its dividend payout, with an 80% coverage ratio projected for Q1 2026. However, a 'buy' rating is maintained due to the deep discount providing some protection against further losses amid ongoing risks.
