<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Apollo Comml Real Est's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apollo Comml Real Est's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.74%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into Apollo Comml Real Est's Recent Short Interest

Investors in Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ari#NYSE">ARI</a>) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jul 19, 2024 $2.50 Put had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Apollo Commercial Finance shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Apollo Commercial Finance is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the REIT and Equity Trust industry that ranks in the Bottom 11% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst has increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while two have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 38 cents per share to 34 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Apollo Commercial Finance right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there&#39;s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

Bank of America has downgraded six players in the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) mortgage REIT sector, citing interest rate headwinds and weakening fundamentals that spell a &#8220;rocky road <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/commercial-real-estate">ahead&#8221; for the industry. </a>
Eric Dray, CFA, a research analyst at Bank of America, conveyed in a note to clients on Monday that the sector might see a downward trend in book values and sustained tepid investor sentiment over the coming quarters.
&#8220;The office sector has faced headwinds from slow return-to-office in the U.S.,&#8221; according to Bank of America, as evidenced by a minimal effective rent growth of just 0.5% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2023, coupled with a climb in vacancy rates to 19.6%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America&#8217;s Downgrade Decisions</h2>
Several mREITs have been downgraded by BofA, reflecting the anticipation of persistent sectoral pressures:
<ul>
<li>Ares Commercial Real Estate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACRE#NYSE">ACRE</a>): Downgraded to Underperform with a new price objective (PO) of $7, down from $11. Notable concerns include a significant office exposure and looming portfolio maturities, alongside recent credit issues and a dividend reduction.</li>
<li>Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARI#NYSE">ARI</a>): Downgraded to Underperform with a $10.50 PO. The firm faces risks from upcoming high-profile maturities and narrow dividend coverage, suggesting potential for further dividend cuts.</li>
<li>BrightSpire Capital Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRSP#NYSE">BRSP</a>): Downgraded to Underperform with a $6.50 PO, given its exposure to pressured sectors like US office and sunbelt multifamily properties, despite recent portfolio credit improvements.</li>
<li>TPG RE Finance Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRTX#NYSE">TRTX</a>): Downgrade to Underperform, with a $6.50 PO, up from $6.00, following a significant portfolio reduction and unresolved credit issues, raising concerns about future dividend sustainability.</li>
<li>Starwood Property Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STWD#NYSE">STWD</a>): Downgraded from Buy to Neutral, with a $21.50 PO, down from $22.50. The diversified portfolio with limited office exposure represents a positive factor, but there is little visibility over upcoming maturities. </li>
<li>Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BXMT#NYSE">BXMT</a>): Downgraded from Buy to Neutral, with $21 PO, down from $22. On the plus side, borrowers and sponsors have continued to invest in the properties, but elevated office exposure, high leverage and substantial near-term maturities represent major concerns. </li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Risks Ahead</h3>
&#8220;CRE fundamentals remain shaky and as rates stay higher for longer, we think pressure will mount on CRE mREIT portfolios,&#8221; Dray highlighted. 
The analyst highlighted that floating rates are the normality among CRE loans. The rising rates threaten property values and refinancing capabilities, potentially leading to an increase in defaults or forced equity injections by borrowers.
Despite the current discounts in CRE mREIT shares, BofA&#8217;s analysis suggests that the risks are skewed towards further downside. The office sector&#8217;s deteriorating fundamentals, coupled with high leverage levels used by mREITs, could amplify the impact of problem loans, potentially depressing book values further.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
<ul>
<li>Shares of Ares Commercial Real Estate Corp. fell 3.2% on Monday, extending their year-to-date decline to 28%. </li>
<li>Shares of Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance tumbled over 4% to $10.29.</li>
<li>BrightSpire Capital Inc. saw its share price tumbling over 5%, on track for the worst session since early August 2023. </li>
<li>Both Starwood Property Trust and TPG Re Finance Trust Inc. eased 2%.</li>
<li>Shares of Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc. fell nearly 3%. </li>
