Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Ready Capital Corporation (RC) Misled Investors Regarding Certain Uncollectible Loans

Robbins LLP informs stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Ready Capital Corporation (NYSE: RC) common stock between November 7, 2024 and March 2, 2025. Ready Capital is a real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances, and services lower-to-middle-market (“LLM”) commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans, small business administration loans, residential mortgage loans, and other real estate-related investments.

The Allegations

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that significant non-performing loans in its CRE portfolio were not likely to be collectible; (2) that Ready Capital would fully reserve these problem loans in order to “stabilize” its CRE portfolio; (3) that this was not accurately reflected in Ready Capital’s current expected credit loss or valuation allowances; and therefore (4) the Company's financial results would be adversely affected.

On March 3, 2025, Ready Capital announced its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results, reporting fourth quarter 2024 net loss of $1.80 per share and full year 2024 net loss of $2.52 per share. The Company explained had to take “decisive actions to stabilize” its “balance sheet going forward by fully reserving for all of our non-performing loans in our CRE portfolio.” On this news, Ready Capital’s stock price fell $1.86, or 26.8%, to close at $5.07 per share on March 3, 2025.
