JMP reiterates Market Outperform rating on Ladder Capital stock

Investing.com - JMP Securities maintained its Market Outperform rating and $13.00 price target on Ladder Capital (NYSE:LADR) stock following the company’s second quarter earnings release.

The price target represents approximately 10% potential upside and values the company at 0.95 times book value, according to JMP’s analysis.

JMP noted that Ladder Capital continues to deploy capital while making significant improvements on the financing side, highlighting the company’s inaugural investment grade bond issuance. The company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 11.48, indicating excellent ability to meet short-term obligations.

The research firm views LADR shares as offering an attractive total return investment opportunity as the company executes on its primary goals of core transitional (bridge) loan portfolio growth.

JMP also pointed to Ladder Capital’s CMBS conduit lending and TNL real estate investment activities, which it believes should benefit from the lower interest rate environment expected over the next few years.

In other recent news, Ladder Capital Corp reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, which fell short of analyst expectations. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) were reported at $0.14, missing the forecasted $0.22. Revenue also came in below expectations, reaching $56.26 million compared to the anticipated $58.57 million. Despite these financial results, the company’s stock demonstrated resilience in pre-market trading. Analyst feedback on Ladder Capital’s strategic positioning and future outlook seems to have maintained investor confidence. These developments indicate ongoing interest in the company’s potential despite the earnings and revenue shortfall.
