STWD struggles to cover dividends amid falling earnings and rising interest rates

STWD's earnings have fallen short of covering its dividend payments, with only 83% coverage due to a dilutive acquisition of Fundamental Income. The company faces challenges from rising interest rates and underperforming commercial loans, putting pressure on its ability to sustain current payouts and maintain book value. Investors are advised to watch upcoming Q3 indicators such as acquisition cap rates and impairment signals as STWD navigates these financial headwinds.
