Company background

Ladder Capital Corp operates as an internally-managed real estate investment trust in the United States. It operates through three segments: Loans, Securities, and Real Estate. The Loans segment originates and acquires balance sheet loans that provide interim financing to borrowers seeking short-term capital for the acquisition or transition of commercial real estate; originates conduit loans, which are first mortgage loans on commercial real estate properties for sale in commercial mortgage-backed securities securitizations; and invests in note purchase financings, subordinated debt, mezzanine debt, and other structured finance products related to commercial real estate. Its Securities segment invests in CMBS, U.S. Agency securities, corporate bonds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities that are not classified as cash and cash equivalents. The Real Estate segment engages in net leased properties, other diversified real estate, and investments in unconsolidated ventures. The company qualifies as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. It generally would not be subject to federal corporate income taxes if it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. Ladder Capital Corp was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in New York, New York.

LADR Stock: Earnings Jumped. How Much Can Repeat? — Q3 FY2026

Published 2026-10-16

Q3 FY2026 REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

What’s changed for LADR

Separate Ladder Capital’s property-sale gain from repeatable dividend capacity, reconcile interest presentation and test book value against funding risk.

  1. Reported coverage needs context.

    $0.35 DE EPS exceeds the $0.23 dividend but includes a large property realization.

  2. The sale was not fully excluded.

    $30.691m remains in distributable earnings after the depreciation reversal.

  3. Compare like with like.

    September NII after real-estate interest is $23.041m, only about 2% above original June.

  4. Funding supports the assets.

    Debt, restricted cash and securities have different economic roles.

  5. Book discount is not proof of safety.

    The $9 anchor is near the dated price and depends on credit and dividend durability.

Comparison methodology & limitations

Reviewed operating groups override broad sector classifications. Other companies are matched only within a sufficiently specific provider industry. Business mix, geography and accounting standards can still differ. Market caps are converted to USD using exchange rates captured during the snapshot refresh. Financial ratios that would mix currencies are omitted. Snapshots must be at most 14 days old and no more than seven days apart for automatic selection.

Peer medians require at least two valid similar-size peers for each metric. Negative earnings, nonpositive equity, missing data and irrelevant bank ratios are not presented as attractive valuations. A higher or lower number is not automatically a better investment. Financial statement periods are not calendar-aligned across companies.

Earnings-multiple scenario

Illustrative price = your earnings-per-share assumption × your P/E assumption. This is not a price target or a complete valuation model.

Starting assumptions, when available, use provider forward estimates as of 2026-11-03. Negative earnings require a different valuation method. This calculation omits balance-sheet, dilution and execution risks.
