Ladder Capital (LADR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Ladder Capital (LADR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Ladder Capital Corp is anticipated to experience improved valuation driven by expected growth in earnings per share (EPS), which is projected to lead to dividend growth in 2026. The company benefits from an encouraging environment for increased loan originations and continues to show sequential earnings improvement, bolstered by its expanding portfolio of loans. Furthermore, with a strong liquidity position of $1.0 billion, $3.7 billion in unencumbered assets, and a low leverage ratio of 1.6x, Ladder Capital maintains a compelling valuation at 0.82x book value, enhancing its attractiveness to investors.
Bears say
Ladder Capital's outlook is negatively impacted by a reduction in second-half 2025 earnings per share estimates due to delays in new loan originations, which highlights potential weaknesses in its core lending operations. Additionally, the company faces multiple risk factors including lower-than-expected originations, tightened conduit margins, and uncertainties surrounding investment yields and credit performance, all of which could hinder profitability and financial stability. Furthermore, the commercial mortgage REIT sector as a whole is experiencing headwinds from unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, particularly rising interest rates, contributing to a cautious sentiment towards Ladder Capital's future performance.
