Franklin BSP Realty Trust shares rated Sell amid dividend cuts and weak financials despite high yields

Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. is facing financial challenges, leading to a 56% cut in its common dividend this year and weak dividend coverage for preferred shares at 2.3x. Despite offering high yields of 13% for common shares and 10.6% for preferred shares, the company’s declining earnings and financial instability make these yields risky. The recommendation is to avoid FBRT shares and consider stronger mREIT preferred stocks with more stable financials, even if their yields are lower. This reflects broader market pressures on preferred stocks following recent Federal Reserve rate hikes.
