Summary

  • Ladder Capital's robust loan performance and healthy dividend coverage suggest potential for dividend growth in 2025, making it a top choice for passive income investors.
  • Despite market stress, LADR avoided a dividend cut and maintained strong payout metrics, unlike peers such as Blackstone Mortgage Trust.
  • The Company's book value is growing, and its current discount to book value is unjustified given its strong financial performance and improving provisions.
  • With a brightening credit provisioning situation, Ladder Capital remains a compelling long-term investment, and I anticipate a dividend raise in 2025.
