Ladder Capital Corp

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ladder Capital Corp (“Ladder” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LADR) today announced the declaration by its board of directors of a third quarter 2026 dividend of $0.23 per share of Class A common stock. The cash dividend is payable on October 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2026. About Ladder Ladder Capital Corp (NYSE: LADR) is an internally-managed, investment grade REIT. Ladder's primary business is originating first mortgage.

The Federal Open Market Committee enters its September 15–16 meeting with interest rate futures pricing in a more than 85% probability of a 25 bps hike. August core CPI data running hot for a second consecutive month alongside Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish stance at Jackson Hole forced markets to abandon easing expectations.

These companies built their portfolios to win whether rates rise or fall.

AGNC Investment's 13.5% yielding monthly dividend is very tempting. The REIT has a higher risk profile compared to Ladder Capital.
