AFC Gamma stock hits 52-week low at $6.07 amid market shifts

In a challenging market environment, AFC Gamma Inc. (NASDAQ:AFCG) stock has touched a 52-week low, dipping to $6.07. The commercial real estate finance company, which specializes in originating, structuring, and investing in first mortgage loans, has seen its shares retreat significantly over the past year, reflecting a broader downturn in the sector. Trading below book value at 0.68x and offering a substantial 14.63% dividend yield, the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 3.59. Investors have been cautious as the company navigates through economic headwinds, contributing to a notable 1-year change with a decline of 27.35%. This recent price level marks a critical juncture for the stock, as market participants assess the company’s performance and future prospects in the face of ongoing industry challenges. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears undervalued, with technical indicators suggesting oversold conditions. The company remains profitable with earnings per share of $0.64 over the last twelve months.

In other recent news, Advanced Flower Capital reported disappointing fourth-quarter earnings for 2024, with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.29, falling short of the expected $0.3683. The company’s revenue also missed forecasts, coming in at $7.64 million against the anticipated $11.59 million. These results reflect ongoing challenges related to non-performing loans, which have affected the company’s earnings potential. Jefferies analyst Matthew Hurwit downgraded Advanced Flower Capital’s stock from Buy to Hold, citing concerns over credit uncertainty and non-accrual loans. The downgrade was accompanied by a reduced price target of $7.00, down from $10.00.

Additionally, Citizens JMP maintained its Market Perform rating for Advanced Flower Capital, despite the company’s earnings shortfall. The firm pointed out that the market has likely accounted for the negative news in the stock’s current valuation. Advanced Flower Capital’s dividend was reduced by 30% quarter-over-quarter to $0.23, reflecting the financial strain from the credit issues. The company is focused on recovering funds from defaulted loans, though the timing and amount of recoveries remain uncertain. Investors are closely monitoring the company’s efforts to stabilize its loan portfolio and improve its financial health.
