Chicago Atlantic Sees $0.015 Distributable Earnings Lift Per 25-Basis-Point Rate Increase
The estimate applies to distributable earnings, a non-GAAP measure. President and COO David Kite expects originations to slow in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. expects each 25-basis-point interest-rate increase to lift quarterly distributable earnings by $0.015 per share, while President and COO David Kite forecasts slower originations in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Co-CEO Peter Sack gave the per-share estimate. Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP measure, so the estimate concerns that measure rather than GAAP earnings.
