Ladder Capital (LADR) Rises 0.28% Amid Dividend Announcement

Ladder Capital (LADR) shares rose 0.28% today, marking the second consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 1.40% over the past two days. The stock price reached its highest level since April 2025, with an intraday gain of 0.74%.

The strategy of buying LADR shares after they reached a recent high and holding for 1 week showed poor performance over the past 5 years. The annualized return was -3.8%, significantly underperforming the market. This indicates that relying on recent highs as a decision point and holding for a short duration is not a profitable strategy for LADR.

Ladder Capital Corp is set to trade ex-dividend on June 30, 2025, for its upcoming quarterly dividend of $0.23, which is scheduled to be paid on July 15, 2025. This ex-dividend status is expected to cause a 2.14% decrease in the stock price when trading resumes on June 30, 2025. This dividend announcement is likely to influence investor decisions and market sentiment in the coming days.

In addition to the dividend announcement, Ladder Capital has been grappling with a 12.9% annual revenue decline over the past two years. This financial performance may weigh on investor confidence and contribute to fluctuations in the stock price. The company's ability to address these revenue challenges and implement effective strategies will be crucial in determining its future stock performance.
