Investors Have the Opportunity to Lead a Class Action Lawsuit Against Ready Capital Corporation
In a significant development for investors impacted by Ready Capital Corporation (RC), the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith have announced that those with substantial financial losses now have the opportunity to lead a securities fraud class action lawsuit against the company. This legal initiative offers a pathway for affected parties to seek justice and potential compensation for the damages they incurred.
What is the Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit stems from allegations that Ready Capital, a New York Stock Exchange-listed company, misled investors regarding the performance of its commercial real estate (CRE) loans. According to the complaint, from August 8, 2024, to March 2, 2025, the company failed to disclose several critical issues concerning its loan portfolio. Specifically, it was alleged that Ready Capital had significant non-performing loans that were unlikely to be collectible, creating a false sense of security regarding the financial health of the company.
Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that Ready Capital took measures to reserve these problematic loans to stabilize its CRE portfolio without adequately informing investors of these actions. As a result, the company's financial results were adversely affected, contravening the positive statements made by its executives about the business operations and future prospects. This alleged misrepresentation has prompted investors to seek legal recourse through this lawsuit.

The law firm has set a deadline of May 5, 2025, for individuals who wish to participate in the class action lawsuit as lead plaintiffs. Interested parties need to contact the Law Offices of Howard G.
