Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance Hits New 52-Week Low at $12.00

Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 12.00 as of October 13, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the microcap company, which operates within the realty sector. Over the past year, the stock has experienced a performance drop of 21.65%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 13.36%.
Despite the recent downturn, Chicago Atlantic has demonstrated strong long-term fundamental strength, with operating profits growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 116.71%. Additionally, net sales have increased at an annual rate of 129.99%. The company maintains a price-to-book ratio of 0.97, indicating it is trading at a discount compared to historical valuations of its peers.

However, the company has faced challenges, including a return on equity (ROE) of 12.27% and a debt-equity ratio that has raised concerns.

The stock's performance has consistently lagged behind the S&P 500 over the past three years, highlighting ongoing market pressures.
