# Ladder Capital Corp (LADR) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Real Estate / Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Price $9.83, market value $1.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 23.4×** (5-yr avg 13.7×, 3-yr avg 14.5×). Ladder Capital Corp trades at 23.4× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 13.7×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 8.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Earnings yield: 4.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: 4.3%**. 4.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -40.7%** (3-yr -23.3%/yr). Earnings per share fell 40.7%.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.20**. Debt is 0.20 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 9.36%** ($0.92 per share, trailing). Ladder Capital Corp yields 9.36%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 184%**. The dividend exceeds earnings (184% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 4**. 4 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -0.4%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.
