Analysis · SEVN · Real Estate & Construction
A sharp reversal in credit quality drove Seven Hills Realty Trust to a net loss of $0.04 per share in Q2 2026, compared with a $0.18 profit a year ago. The culprit: credit loss provisions ballooned to $4.9 million, nearly all tied to deteriorating office loans. While distributable earnings of $0.23 per share covered 82% of the $0.28 dividend, cash reserves fell to $70 million from $123.5 million at year-end, and book value per share slipped to $14.15. The company originated $75 million in new loans and reduced office exposure to 19% of the portfolio, but the credit quality of remaining office loans—several with near-term maturities—remains a key risk. The stock trades near its 52-week low, reflecting market concern over commercial real estate credit.
