How New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. scores

Set against 84 Real Estate companies, New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. lands at the 30th percentile, in the lower half of the group, above the bottom quarter. The median across the group is 5.2, and the top quarter begins at 5.9, so New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. is below the typical company here.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

New York Mortgage Trust, Inc.’s profitability score is 7.3 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 4.8 among 80 Real Estate companies, that is well above the group and the 81st percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.

Solvency

Solvency has no score for New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 34 Real Estate companies is 3.7. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.

Growth

Growth scores 4.3 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 74 Real Estate companies is 5.2, so New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 33rd percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.

Efficiency

New York Mortgage Trust, Inc.’s efficiency score is 3.4 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 6.4 among 80 Real Estate companies, that is well below the group and the 16th percentile. Poor conversion of assets and earnings into cash can come from heavy investment phases, and it matters whether that investment is paying off.

Predictability

Predictability scores 1.4 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 83 Real Estate companies is 4.9, so New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 4th percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between New York Mortgage Trust, Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 7.3 against predictability at 1.4, 5.9 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.

What would move the score

Closing the gap on predictability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Real Estate companies, 4.9, New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. would score about 5.2 instead of 4.3. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).
