Investors have until May 5, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Ready Capital stock.   The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Quinn v. Ready Capital Corporation, et al., No. 25-cv- 01883.

Why was Ready Capital Sued for Securities Fraud?

Ready Capital is a real estate finance company which 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.

As alleged, Ready Capital misrepresented the credit performance of its loans, stating that its “CRE portfolio is showing stabilizing credit metrics” and that it was “well positioned to capitalize on the tailwinds in the CRE market.” In reality, Ready Capital’s CRE portfolio was plagued by non-performing loans and its CRE portfolio had not stabilized.

The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed

On March 3, 2025, Ready Capital announced financial results for 4Q 24, disclosing that it would recognize a $382 million charge, which included $284 million in combined Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) and valuation allowances on its nonperforming loans. Ready Capital also announced it would be reducing its dividend to $0.125 per share.

This news caused the price of Ready Capital stock to decline almost 27%, from $6.93 per share at close on February 28, 2025, to $5.07 per share at close on March 3, 2025.
