ARR
ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (ARR) Business Model Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Revenue Quality
Revenue quality remains strong with very high gross margin (95.5%) and EBITDA margin (98.5%), indicating a highly efficient recurring revenue model.
However, asset turnover is still very low (0.04), suggesting the business generates limited revenue relative to its asset base.
Profitability
Profitability is strong, with net margin at 42.7% and operating margin above 100%, reflecting substantial operating leverage.
Return on equity is solid at 18.5%, though return on invested capital remains negative, pointing to a capital structure distortion rather than clean economic returns.
Cash Generation
Cash generation is healthy, with free cash flow yield at 16.4% and free cash flow per share of 2.47.
Operating cash flow conversion is weak relative to revenue, and the current ratio remains extremely low at 0.00, highlighting liquidity pressure.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet is highly leveraged, with debt-to-equity at 7.5x and net debt to EBITDA at 19.5x.
Liquidity is very tight, as cash per share is only 0.65 and current ratio is 0.00, leaving little cushion for near-term obligations.
Valuation
Valuation appears reasonable on earnings and cash flow, with P/E at 4.5x and price-to-free-cash-flow at 6.1x.
That said, enterprise value to sales remains elevated at 21.1x, so the market is still pricing in durable high-quality earnings.
