Ladder Capital: A 9% Yield On Sale

  • Ladder Capital reported weaker-than-expected earnings for Q1'25 with the mortgage REIT also not supporting its dividend. Ladder Capital's portfolio reduction, driven by commercial real estate market challenges, led to a 45% year-over-year decline in net interest income in Q1'25. The REIT's balance sheet quality, however, remained stable Q/Q, as did its CECL reserve.
