Description: LADR Ladder Capital January 16, 2026

Ladder Capital Corp (NYSE:LADR) is an internally-managed REIT that generates earnings from three core segments: (1) **Loans** – originating and holding first-mortgage loans secured by cash-flowing commercial real-estate (CRE) and balance-sheet loans tied to properties in transition (lease-up, renovation, or repositioning); (2) **Securities** – investing in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), U.S. Treasury and agency bonds, corporate debt, and equity positions; and (3) **Real Estate** – owning and leasing a portfolio of commercial properties. As a REIT, LADR must distribute at least 90 % of its taxable income to avoid corporate tax.

Key performance indicators as of the most recent filing (Q4 2023) include a **dividend yield of roughly 7.5 %**, a **weighted-average loan-to-value (LTV) of 65 %**, and **net asset value (NAV) per share of $12.30**, reflecting a modest premium to its market price. The loan portfolio is concentrated in multifamily and mixed-use assets, with a **delinquency rate of 2.1 %**, well below the industry average of ~3 %.

The REIT’s outlook is tightly linked to macro-economic drivers: (i) **Federal Reserve policy** – higher short-term rates increase borrowing costs but also boost the spread on LADR’s floating-rate loan assets; (ii) **CRE market health** – office vacancy rates and retail foot traffic influence the credit quality of new loan originations; and (iii) **Supply-demand dynamics in multifamily housing**, which currently supports loan growth as rental demand remains resilient despite broader economic uncertainty.
