Analysis · GPMT · Real Estate & Construction
Granite Point increased its JPMorgan repurchase facility by $76 million to $727 million and moved assets previously financed at Citibank and Morgan Stanley under the JPMorgan umbrella. More importantly, the amendment temporarily relaxes the minimum interest expense coverage ratio to 1.20x for the next two quarters — a concession that reflects the company's strained earnings after a $62 million Q2 loss and a dividend cut to $0.01. The covenant relief buys breathing room through year-end, but the reversion to 1.30x in March 2027 sets a hard deadline for earnings recovery.
