Sachem Capital Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results
Sachem Capital reported a second quarter net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.14 per share, swinging from a profit of $0.8 million in the prior year, as book value per share declined to $2.11.
The decline was driven by a $2.6 million provision for credit losses concentrated in three specific loans and $2.6 million in transaction expenses related to the pending merger with Industrial Realty Group.
Despite the earnings miss, the company updated on the transformational transaction, stating the combined entity IRGT will have an implied enterprise value of $3.4 billion and signed leases representing 9.3 million square feet during the quarter.
