<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

In the current market session, Ladder Cap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LADR#NYSE">LADR</a>) price is at $11.45, after a 1.42% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 3.78%, and in the past year, by 1.72%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>How Does Ladder Cap P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 9.49 in the Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry, Ladder Cap Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 14.86. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Ladder Cap Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735135215_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

What's Next: Ladder Cap's Earnings Preview

KKR Real Estate Finance (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kref#NYSE">KREF</a>) shares soared 5.7% in the last trading session to close at $12.24. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 8.4% gain over the past four weeks.
Shares of KREF witnessed a strong price increase as long-term bond yields have declined with the Fed&#39;s announcement of an interest rate cut starting this month. This resulted in a decline in mortgage rates. Housing affordability challenges are expected to decline with a fall in mortgage rates.
Also, rate cuts will likely increase net interest spreads. This will ease earnings pressure for real estate companies, which are currently reeling under high funding costs. Hence, the investors turned bullish on real estate sector stocks, driving KREF higher.
This real estate finance company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.31 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -34%. Revenues are expected to be $39.52 million, down 11.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For KKR Real Estate, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock&#39;s price usually doesn&#39;t keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on KREF going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
KKR Real Estate is part of the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry. Ladder Capital (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ladr#NYSE">LADR</a>), another stock in the same industry, closed the last trading session 0.3% lower at $12. LADR has returned 4% in the past month.
For Ladder Capital, the consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.26. This represents a change of -16.1% from what the company reported a year ago. Ladder Capital currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
