Ready Capital trades at a 75% discount to book value, reflecting extreme market skepticism of management and persistent book value declines. RC's common dividend yield is nearly 20%, but a 50% cut is likely imminent due to uncovered payouts and mounting losses. RC's Series E preferreds offer an 11.6% yield and a 44% discount to liquidation value, presenting a more attractive risk/reward.
Ready Capital continues to face severe challenges. The leverage and rising delinquencies have already destroyed tons of tangible equity. RC remains suitable only for traders seeking short-term bounces, not long-term investors focused on capital preservation or yield stability.
Ready Capital Corporation ( RC ) Q3 2025 Earnings Call November 7, 2025 8:30 AM EST Company Participants Andrew Ahlborn - CFO & Secretary Thomas Capasse - Chairman, CEO & Chief Investment Officer Conference Call Participants Douglas Harter - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division Jade Rahmani - Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods, Inc., Research Division Christopher Nolan - Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Research Division Presentation Operator Greetings, and welcome to the Ready Capital Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
Ready Capital (RC) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.94 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.02. This compares to earnings of $0.25 per share a year ago.
Ready Capital reported another poor quarter with negative distributable earnings. Loans that are more than 60 days delinquent rose once again. The company borrowed more funds to buyback shares.
Ready Capital continues to face portfolio distress, despite progress in the transition. Old assets have run off or are disposed of with losses, and reinvested into RC's new focus. The dividend has endured many cuts, and continued losses make it unsustainable in my view. One bright side has been a share repurchase campaign at steep discounts to book value.

Although the revenue and EPS for Ready Capital (RC) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended June 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Ready Capital (RC) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.14 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.01. This compares to earnings of $0.07 per share a year ago.
Ready Capital (RC) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
I've been accumulating RC's 6.50% Series E Preferreds, amid a significant year-to-date selloff. They're trading for 62 cents on the dollar and offer a 10.5% dividend yield. RC common shares are down 40% year-to-date, while the E preferreds have dipped 16%. I think the selloff is overdone and the preferreds provide a compelling risk-to-reward profile at their current level.
