I expect Ready Capital's distributable earnings in 2Q and 3Q 2023 to be lower than the current quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share. Thus, one might argue that there could be a dividend cut in 2H 2023. However, the company can maintain the current quarterly dividend even with distributable earnings of $0.30 per share. Ready Capital's recent merger with Broadmark Realty Capital has provided the company with higher unrestricted cash, better debt-to-equity ratios, and expanded operations. The merger is expected to increase Ready Capital's distributable earnings.
