Overview

ACCE thesis

Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance originates and holds senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans and CMBS, secured by office, multifamily, hotel and industrial properties. Its edge is the Apollo credit platform behind it, which gives it deal flow and underwriting depth that a mid-sized mortgage REIT of its size would struggle to build alone. The reported 524.9% revenue growth reflects a sharp swing in interest income and is a poor guide to run-rate earnings, so the more useful numbers are the 8.0 trailing P/E against a 15.5 forward P/E, which points to analysts expecting earnings to normalise rather than keep climbing. With an 8.5% ROE and an 86.4% gross margin typical of a lender, the investment case rests on whether loan book yields and credit quality hold up through the commercial real estate cycle. The name screens at 53/100 with no index membership, so it merits a deeper look at loan-level credit data and the dividend's coverage before anything else.

⚠ Investor warnings · 4 flagsAI-assisted·How I use AI
  • high
    Leverage and thin equity
    Debt/Equity of 4.27 means the balance sheet is carried mostly by borrowed money, leaving little cushion if mortgage loan losses rise or funding tightens.
  • moderate
    Earnings declining year on year
    Earnings are down 10.0% YoY even though revenue is up 524.9%, so the top-line jump is not reaching the bottom line.
  • moderate
    Sharp quarter-on-quarter drop
    Revenue fell 77.4% quarter on quarter, a steep sequential decline that the annual growth figure does not show.
  • moderate
    Weak return on equity
    ROE of 8.5% is modest for a levered lender, and the Q score of 67 sits alongside a Momentum score of only 17.

AI research notes

AI-assisted·How I use AIWritten Oct 22, 2026 · figures from 2026-06-30 · prices to Oct 23, 2026
Why it could do well
  • Revenue grew 524.9% year over year, and the five-year average growth runs at 27.5% per year.
  • Last quarter's earnings per share beat expectations by 160.0%, coming in at $0.13 against $0.05 expected.
Why it could disappoint
  • The dividend yield of 15.7% sits above what trailing earnings cover, so a cut could hit the share price directly.
  • Debt is 4.27 times equity, leaving little cushion if loan losses erode book value.
  • Return on equity is 8.5% and return on invested capital is only 1.1%, so the revenue jump is not reaching shareholders.
