What Happened?

On February 11, 2026, FBRT released its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, revealing, among other things, quarterly GAAP net income of $18.4 million, a significant decline from $30.2 million in the same quarter the prior year, and quarterly earnings per share of $0.13, a significant decline from $0.29 in the same quarter the prior year.

The Company further disclosed that “it has taken longer to resolve and sell the real estate than [it] originally planned. This has led to over-distributing capital to investors.” Thus, “[i]n order to stabilize [its] book value” the Company had “reset the quarterly dividend.”

On this news, FBRT’s stock price fell $1.44, or 14.2%, to close at $8.71 per share on February 12, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants recklessly overstated Franklin BSP Realty Trust’s prospects; (2) Defendants recklessly overstated Franklin BSP Realty Trust’s ability to maintain the $0.355 dividend; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired FBRT securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than April 27, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.
