On March 14, 2023, NINGI Research (“NINGI”) published a report on Arbor, alleging, among other things, that Arbor “has been hiding a toxic real estate portfolio of mobile homes with a complex web of real and fake holdings companies for more than a decade.”

Following publication of the NINGI report, Arbor’s stock price fell $1.46 per share, or 11.24%, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $11.53 per share on March 15, 2023.

Then, on December 5, 2023, Viceroy published an in-depth study of Arbor’s properties in Jacksonville, Florida. Citing their findings, Viceroy concluded that in an “industry plagued with delusion and bad decisions, [Arbor] stands out as the worst of the worst. Viceroy’s dive into [Arbor’s] CLOs suggest its entire loan book is distressed and underlying collateral is vastly overstated.”

Following publication of the Viceroy report, Arbor’s stock price fell $0.71 per share, or 5.12%, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $13.15 per share on December 6, 2023.

Finally, on July 12, 2024, Bloomberg reported that Arbor was “being probed by federal prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York.” According to Bloomberg, “[t]he investigators are inquiring about lending practices and the company’s claims about the performance of their loan book.”

On this news, Arbor’s stock price fell $2.64 per share, or 17%, to close at $12.89 per share on July 12, 2024.
