Ladder Capital: High Yield, Low Leverage - A REIT Navigating CRE Headwinds
Ladder Capital offers a 9% yield, supported by low leverage, strong liquidity, and management's significant insider ownership, making it a rare income opportunity. My analysis finds the dividend is well-covered by cash flows and a conservative balance sheet, with a 1.4× coverage ratio and resilient capital structure. Shares trade at a discount to intrinsic value, with additional upside potential from accretive buybacks and modest dividend growth as earnings recover.

Mortgage REITs: Is The Thrill Of Victory Worth The Agony Of Defeat?
Residential mREITs have consistently underperformed, making them unattractive, despite high yields; I avoid them except for rare preferred shares. Commercial mREITs, especially Starwood Property Trust and Ladder Capital, offer better performance and value, with Ladder as my top pick. Ladder stands out for its strong balance sheet, insider alignment, and potential for robust returns as it redeploys capital in 2026.

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.

Tensions Ease Ahead Of Critical Week
US equity markets resumed their recovery this week from the "liberation day" plunge after the White House negotiated trade deals with several nations and indicated plans to ease China tariffs. Trimming its drawdown to around 10% from its mid-February highs, the S&P 500 rallied 4.6% this week - erasing an early-week dip with four-straight days of gains. After posting significant outperformance last week, real estate equities were among the laggards this week despite a solid start to REIT earnings season and a much-needed retreat in benchmark rates.
