Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. — Form 8-K Summary
Business context and reporting period
The October 5, 2026 Form 8-K reports completion of a previously announced reverse stock split and related amendments to the company’s charter. It does not report quarterly or annual operating results.
Key financial and capital facts
- The 1-for-10 reverse split reduced common shares outstanding from 48,198,166 to approximately 4,819,100 as of the effective time, 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 5, 2026.
- The split applied only to common stock. The 7.00% Series A preferred stock and its terms were unchanged.
- The previously announced common dividend remains payable October 15, 2026, to holders of record October 1, at $0.01 per pre-split share.
- Fractional common shares are to be paid in cash based on the common stock’s October 5 closing price.
- The charter amendments temporarily increased common-stock par value from $0.01 to $0.10 to implement the split, then restored it to $0.01 immediately afterward.
- Revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, and liquidity: the filing does not provide financial results or clear values for these metrics.
Changes and other material details

Incentive-plan share availability and outstanding awards were adjusted proportionately. Split-adjusted trading under the existing symbol GPMT began on the NYSE on October 6, 2026; the new common-stock CUSIP is 38741L 404.
Outlook, risks, and unusual items
The filing provides no earnings guidance, operating outlook, or new risk or contingency disclosures. The principal reported corporate action is the reverse stock split; the filing does not describe it as a change in the company’s underlying business or financial position.
Investor facts to verify

- Verify the dividend payment and share-count basis, particularly because the record date preceded the split.
- Review Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 for the charter amendment language and Exhibit 99.1 for the related press release.
