With the headline numbers on the table, the next step is to compare this earnings print with the prevailing narratives to see which stories about Adamas Trust hold up and which ones start to crack.

TTM net income tops US$100 million

• Over the last twelve months, Adamas Trust generated US$373.9 million in revenue and US$107.7 million in net income, with basic EPS of US$1.19 across that period.
• Consensus narrative expects earnings to reach US$124.8 million by about April 2029 while also forecasting a 22.1% annual decline in revenue, so investors are weighing:
  • The recent TTM earnings base of US$107.7 million and 32.1% margin against the idea that earnings can still grow even if top line trends lower.
  • Whether a forecast margin step up to 83.8% fits with a business that has only recently moved from a TTM loss of US$103.8 million in 2024 to over US$100 million in profit.

Revenue growth contrasts with forecast declines

• Q1 2026 revenue of US$136.9 million compares with US$78.2 million in Q1 2025 and sits within a trailing twelve month revenue base of US$373.9 million, up from US$143.1 million on a TTM basis in 2024.
• Bulls point to resilient revenue today, yet forecasts calling for a 22.1% annual revenue decline over the next three years create a clear tension:
  • The bullish case leans on recurring income and portfolio repositioning, while the current data still shows the business coming off a period where five year earnings growth averaged a 14.2% annual decline.
  • These projected revenue headwinds sit alongside analyst expectations for earnings to reach US$124.8 million by 2029, which assumes a very sharp lift in margins from the present 32.1% level.

Investors who want to see how supporters think current revenue strength could offset those future decline forecasts can go straight to the 🐂 Adamas Trust Bull Case.

Low P/E meets balance sheet risk

• Adamas Trust trades on a trailing P/E of 7.5x, below both the US Mortgage REITs industry at 10x and the broader US market at 19.3x, while analysts reference a target of US$11.90 versus the current share price of US$8.98.
• Bears focus less on the apparent value and more on cash flow strain, arguing that weak debt coverage and an unstable dividend record limit how much comfort investors can take from a low multiple:
  • The recent move into profitability and TTM EPS of US$1.19 have not resolved the flagged issue that operating cash flow does not adequately cover debt.
  • With forecasts also pointing to annual declines in both revenue and earnings, skeptics question whether a below market P/E reflects genuine mispricing or simply compensates for balance sheet and payout risk.
