NEW YORK , Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lument Finance Trust, Inc. (NYSE: LFT) ("LFT" or the "Company") announced the declaration of a cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock with respect to the fourth quarter of 2024.  The Company also announced the declaration of a one-time special cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock due to real estate investment trust tax considerations.

Lument Financial Trust's 3Q24 results showed stable net interest income but highlighted ongoing challenges with 2021 loans and potential refinancing at less favorable rates. The company's valuation appears attractive due to a significant discount to book value and a high dividend yield, though both have notable risks. Management remains cautious about the stressed 2021 loan book and the uncertain macroeconomic environment, impacting future earnings and refinancing prospects.

Lument (LFT) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.
