Blackstone Mortgage Trust shares sink 14% after warning of pressure on $1 billion of loans

AI Market Summary
Blackstone Mortgage Trust reported increased stress on about $1B of mainly office-backed loans and flagged third-quarter distributable earnings pressure from loan impairments. The stock's sharp two-day drop highlights renewed concerns around US commercial real estate credit quality, especially offices, and underscores the drag from still-elevated rates. While management aims to reduce office and legacy loan exposure, near-term sentiment toward mortgage REIT risk appears weaker.
