Claros Mortgage Trust’s (NYSE: CMTG) reported modeled fair-value estimate and several analyst price targets were revised lower in 2026, but they are different kinds of estimates. Yahoo Finance reported a model output falling from $2.50 to about $2.08; separate analyst actions included KBW lowering its target to $2.15 and Wells Fargo lowering its target to $1.75. Those figures are estimates, not forecasts of a guaranteed future share price.
What changed in the CMTG estimates?
The figures reported in October 2026 cover both a modeled fair-value estimate and analyst price targets. The table keeps those estimates separate and identifies the source and date associated with each action.

Why a fair-value estimate is not an analyst price target
A modeled fair-value estimate is the output of a valuation model. Its result depends on the model’s assumptions and methodology. An analyst price target is an individual analyst’s estimate of a possible share price over a stated horizon; the reported target changes above are presented as analyst targets, not as observed market prices.
#1 Best Overall
For CMTG, the approximately $2.08 figure reported by Yahoo Finance is a model output. The $2.15 KBW and $1.75 Wells Fargo figures are separate analyst targets. They should not be combined into one valuation, treated as interchangeable, or described as a prediction that the stock will reach a particular price.
What the reported target revisions establish—and what they do not
The cited target tables establish the dates, previous and revised targets, and certain ratings. They do not provide enough attributable explanation to say why KBW, Wells Fargo, or UBS changed its estimate. A lower target alone does not reveal whether an analyst changed assumptions about property values, financing, earnings, credit losses, or another factor. Naming any such reason without the original analyst note would go beyond the available evidence.
Targets are estimates, not promises. They can change as analysts update their assumptions, and a target revision does not ensure that a share price will move in the same direction or reach the revised figure.

TipRanks displayed a three-analyst average target of $2.45, a low of $2.15 and a high of $2.75, alongside a Moderate Sell consensus, on the page snapshot accessed October 11, 2026. This is a provider-specific snapshot, not a universal consensus. Providers can differ in which analysts they include, how recently their data was updated, and how they label ratings. See the TipRanks CMTG forecast page for that provider’s displayed figures.
Rank #3
Read the analyst count and retrieval date alongside any average. An average can conceal the spread between individual targets, and a rating label summarizes a provider’s classification rather than guaranteeing a result.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Company measures can provide context, but they are not target explanations
Claros’s Q1 2026 supplemental describes adjusted book value per share as a non-GAAP measure. The company says it believes the adjustment helps comparisons with peers and that the measure is important to investors and lenders as a capitalization metric. That company-defined measure is not the same as GAAP net income, a broker’s price target, or the Yahoo Finance modeled fair value.
Rank #4
The company’s SEC-filed 2025 annual report defines Distributable Earnings (Loss) as a non-GAAP measure based on net income (loss) with specified exclusions, including certain non-cash items, REO depreciation and amortization, and unrealized mark-to-market changes other than permanent impairments. It should not be treated as GAAP earnings or as an explanation for a particular analyst revision. Company materials provide definitions and context; they do not establish the reasoning in the analyst notes.
