# Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance Inc (ARI) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Real Estate / Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Price $6.88, market value $884 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.6×** (5-yr avg 8.5×, 3-yr avg 13.9×). Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance Inc trades at 8.6× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 8.5×. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 30.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.17**. A PEG of 0.17 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.7×.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Earnings yield: 11.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 11.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 46.7%**. 46.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.8%**. 6.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 1.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -10.6%** (3-yr -3.7%/yr, 5-yr -0.5%/yr). Revenue fell 10.6% over the last year, against -0.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 183.5%** (3-yr -21.6%/yr, 5-yr 140.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 183.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.12**. Debt is 0.12 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 14.53%** ($1.00 per share, trailing). Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance Inc yields 14.53%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 111%**. The dividend exceeds earnings (111% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -7.2%/yr** (1-yr -16.7%). The dividend has not grown over five years.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 5.6%** (YTD 13.0%, 3-mo -2.7%). The shares are up 5.6% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -38.8%** (7.0% above the low). Trading 39% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 53**. An RSI of 53 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.49** (volatility 20%). Beta of 0.49 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
