  • New York Mortgage Trust faces losses, rising interest expenses, and asset quality issues, raising dividend risk. Learn why NYMT stock is a hold.

New York Mortgage Trust (NYMT) reported a significant drop in book value per share to $10.17 from $11.67 in Q4 2023, following their Q1 earnings release, raising concerns about its status as a potential value trap.
