Blackstone Mortgage Trust posts $81M loss, signals dividend cut amid asset value doubts

Blackstone Mortgage Trust (BXMT) reported a net loss of $81 million, struggling with CECL reserve pressures and underperforming its commercial real estate REIT peers. The company's reported book value of $19.30 per share is viewed skeptically, with market estimates closer to $12.50 per share, reflecting doubts about asset valuations. BXMT's distributable earnings per share consistently fall short of its dividend payments, indicating an expected dividend cut to reduce the yield below 10%-11%. Investors are advised to hold or remain neutral until the balance sheet improves and risk-free rates stabilize before considering new positions.
