Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ACR

10/27/2026: ACR (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Acres Commercial Realty Corp is a mortgage real estate investment trust focused on originating and managing floating-rate commercial mortgage loans, primarily for middle-market assets. The company benefits from an internalized management structure that aims to align executive incentives with those of shareholders. While its specialized lending approach allows for expert focus, the company remains subject to significant risks, including commercial real estate volatility and interest rate sensitivity. Investors should monitor the health of the underlying loan portfolio and broader commercial property market trends. The stock may suit income-focused investors who understand the credit risks inherent in the commercial mortgage sector, though past performance reflects the challenges of navigating this cyclical industry.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ACR receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ACR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong revenue growth (+98.7%) and solid profitability (net margin 12.8%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-27.2%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 2.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ACR's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 96.0% and operating margin of 61.7%. Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is ACR's strongest growth driver at +98.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-27.2%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-79.7%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 27.6% (moderate) and 7.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (soft). Insider ownership of 37.89% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
ACR generates approximately $960 of gross profit, $617 of operating income, and $24 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and weak cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -0.30% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile
