Analysis · LFT · Real Estate & Construction
Lument Finance Trust reported a Q2 2026 net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.18 per share, driven by an $8.6 million provision for credit losses as more multifamily loans fell into default. The company also disclosed amendments to its credit agreements that relax interest coverage covenants through March 2027, providing near-term breathing room. With the stock trading near its 52-week low and a 1-for-10 reverse split planned for September 9 to regain NYSE compliance, the financial deterioration and covenant relief are critical for investors.
