Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance Hits New 52-Week Low at $12.59

Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 12.59 as of September 30, 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 18.33%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 16.09%.
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 impressive annual rate of 129.99%. The company maintains a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.00, which suggests an attractive valuation relative to its peers, as indicated by its price-to-book ratio of 0.97.

However, the company has faced challenges, including a return on equity (ROE) of 12.27% and a debt-equity ratio that has raised concerns. Institutional holdings stand at 38.88%, reflecting a level of confidence among larger investors. As Chicago Atlantic navigates these dynamics, its recent price movement underscores the complexities of its market position.
