Description: FBRT Franklin BSP Realty Trust November 30, 2025

Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. (FBRT) is a REIT that originates, acquires, and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial-real-estate debt investments, including first-mortgage, mezzanine, bridge, and other loan types, as well as foreclosed or deed-in-lie properties. The firm also holds equity securities tied to commercial real estate and generates income primarily from interest and loan servicing fees.

Key operating metrics (as of the most recent filing) include a loan portfolio of roughly $1.1 billion, a weighted-average loan-to-value (LTV) of about 65 %, and a dividend yield near 8 %-both of which are sensitive to changes in the Federal Reserve’s policy rate. The sector’s performance is driven by commercial-real-estate vacancy trends, cap-rate compression, and credit-quality cycles, all of which can materially affect FBRT’s net interest margin and default risk.

Because FBRT must distribute at least 90 % of its taxable income to maintain REIT status, its cash-flow profile is closely linked to the stability of its loan repayments and the underlying property market; a sustained rise in commercial-real-estate vacancies could pressure earnings and dividend sustainability.
