From 9 valuation models · updated 15 days ago
Share price +0.6% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 21% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($8.55). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (52/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- As a real-estate business, asset- and dividend-based methods carry more weight here than a standard DCF.

Analysis
Ladder Capital Corp (LADR) currently trades at $9.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.68, implying the stock looks roughly 21.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Ladder Capital Corp generated revenue of $216M at a net margin of 25.4%. Revenue grew 1.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.7%. Net debt stands at $3.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 26, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $5.76 (bear case) to $8.55 (bull case); at $9.76, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 3% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at 2% fair-value upside, at -21%, LADR screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 9 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit ($8.28) versus Multiples ($2.78). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
