ACRES Commercial Realty (NYSE:ACR): Internalization Costs Flip the Quarter to a Loss

ACRES Commercial Realty (NYSE:ACR), which lends against commercial property as a Mortgage REIT, published third-quarter figures on November 4, 2026. It closed the purchase of its manager on August 6, and it is now internally managed. Common shareholders absorbed a GAAP loss of USD 56.3 million, equal to USD 5.16 per diluted share, against a prior-year profit of USD 9.8 million, or USD 1.34 a share. Deal-related charges for merger and internalization totaled USD 38.3 million, the bulk of the drop, while a USD 8.3 million provision for Credit losses stood against a USD 4.0 million Reversal a year earlier. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings available for distribution fell to a USD 2.64 per-share loss, even after adding back USD 13.7 million tied to the Fair Value of stock options. Net interest income climbed to USD 12.8 million from USD 8.4 million. Credit loss reserves increased to USD 29.4 million, up from USD 21.1 million, and 52 of the 56 loans are performing. GAAP book value of USD 16.81 per share was taken from chart text in the presentation and should be treated as soft. The company cites a target of USD 2 to USD 3 of earnings available for distribution per share, which is a goal rather than a forecast.

MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA): Rate Shifts Drive a USD 1.19 Loss Through Mark-to-Market Swings

MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA) lodged its quarterly filing on November 4, 2026, covering the period through September 30. According to the filing, the Federal Reserve lifted its benchmark rate 25 basis points in September, Treasury yields jumped, and agency spreads widened by nearly 20 basis points. The company posted a loss of USD 111.7 million on mark-to-market hits, equal to USD 1.19 per common share, while a year earlier it earned USD 48.1 million. Excluding fair value movements, distributable earnings reached USD 0.26 per basic share, compared with USD 0.12 in the second quarter. The dividend declared in the quarter was USD 0.36, which sits USD 0.10 above distributable earnings (calculated). Book value on a GAAP basis retreated 12.5%, landing at USD 11.12, and the economic measure slipped 13.3% to USD 11.44. Target asset purchases reached roughly USD 1.6 billion, and swaps carried a notional amount of USD 6.1 billion, while residential Loan holdings contracted to about USD 12.8 billion. Risk factors the company lists are persistent rate swings, credit performance and funding expense, and the reviewed extract had no numeric guidance.

Ellington Financial (NYSE:EFC): Adjusted Earnings Cover the Dividend, GAAP Earnings Fall Short

Ellington Financial (NYSE:EFC) released third-quarter numbers on November 4, 2026. The company buys residential and commercial loan exposures and runs Longbridge, a reverse mortgage business. Its comparisons run against the second quarter rather than the prior year. Common stockholders were credited with USD 40.4 million of net income, which works out to USD 0.31 a share, down from USD 0.43 in the prior quarter. Adjusted distributable earnings slid to USD 0.45 per share from USD 0.59, still covering the USD 0.39 payout roughly 1.15 times (calculated). Book value per share edged to USD 13.53 from USD 13.61. Longbridge, the reverse mortgage arm, booked USD 676.3 million in originations, a 36% increase on the year, although thinner origination margins reduced its contribution. Share sales under the at-the-market program totaled 2,496,140 shares, and the company placed USD 150 million of 7.375% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2030. Just 25% of recourse borrowings sit in long-dated, non-mark-to-market form, which leaves room for Margin calls if asset prices slide. The company points to late-quarter increases in rates and spreads as its chief hazards.

TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC (NYSE:TPVG): Realized Losses Pull NAV to USD 8.32

On November 4, 2026, TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC (NYSE:TPVG) put its Q3 2026 filing on record. The company lends to growth-stage firms backed by venture capital. Net investment income fell to USD 6.6 million, or USD 0.16 a share, from USD 10.3 million, or USD 0.26 a share earlier. USD 18.2 million of unrealized gains softened the blow from net realized losses of USD 26.4 million, with net Assets from operations ending USD 1.7 million lower. Year-end NAV stood at USD 8.73 per share, against USD 8.32 now. Distributions totaled USD 0.35 a share (USD 0.23 regular plus USD 0.12 supplemental), above net investment income per share (calculated). Across 136 companies, the holdings number 310 positions, and their fair value sits USD 32.0 million under cost (calculated). Debt on non-accrual status was recorded at USD 16.3 million against a USD 38.0 million cost basis. Except for three listed Equity stakes, every position relied on unobservable inputs, which makes the marks estimate-dependent. The extract reviewed did not include a leverage ratio. Four portfolio companies were publicly traded, down from six.

Where Things Stand

Most of it, though not all. Deal costs explain the bulk of the USD 38.3 million hit at ACRES Commercial Realty (NYSE:ACR), yet a bigger credit reserve and a loss on distributable earnings point to other pressures too. MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA) lost USD 1.19 per share on rate-driven marks rather than deal costs, and its distributable earnings trailed the dividend. Ellington Financial (NYSE:EFC) covered its payout on adjusted earnings but not on GAAP earnings. TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC (NYSE:TPVG) distributed more than its net investment income while NAV fell. Investors can watch the November 5, 2026 calls, credit reserve trends, rate and spread moves and distribution coverage, though none of these results promises later quarters.
