One of my favorite dividend stocks to research right now is ABR.
At the time of this post, it's yielding around 13.65%, which is why it's on so many income investors' watchlists.
Now, it's not without risk.
The bears point to:
๐ข Commercial real estate concerns
๐ Higher interest rates
โ ๏ธ Non-performing loans
โ๏ธ A recent dividend cut
Those are all valid concerns, which is exactly why we do our homework before investing.
So why do I keep buying more?
โ
Multifamily housing has remained one of the stronger areas of commercial real estate.
โ
Management has been actively working through problem loans while continuing to grow the business.
โ
The company has been buying back its own shares, suggesting management believes the stock is undervalued.
โ
Billionaire investor John Paulson has also maintained a significant position in the company.
Does that mean it's guaranteed to go up?
Absolutely not.
But I love researching quality dividend companies that are temporarily out of favor. That's often where long-term investors start paying attention.
๐ฌ Your homework: Pull up ABR and complete an IDDA on it before our next session. I'd love to hear whether you're bullish, bearish, or somewhere in the middle.
Happy researching! ๐
