Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 1% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 28, 2025
Starwood looks beaten down, which can set up a short-term bounce while still paying income. The firm raised $500M in bonds to fund green and social projects, giving it more breathing room. Recent price momentum has been soft, so buying dips with clear limits helps manage risk. If interest rates ease and commercial real estate headlines stay calm, a 3-month recovery toward typical levels is possible.
Primary drivers
- Price looks washed out, so a short-term rebound becomes more likely
- $500M green and social bonds give extra cash and more flexible funding
- Reliable dividend history tends to draw income-focused investors
- Falling interest rates usually lift REIT values and borrowing economics
How it played out
STWD: the target was not reached
Lyra published STWD at $19.06 for a short-term window from 2025-09-28 to 2025-12-27. The thesis expected 10% growth toward $19.93. It pointed to a washed-out price setup, $500M in green and social bonds, dividend history that could draw income-focused investors, and the chance that falling interest rates could help REIT values and borrowing economics.
Inside the window, STWD peaked at $19.08 on 2025-09-29, a 0.1% gain. That stayed below the $19.93 target. It never got there. By 2025-12-27, the stock ended at $18.06. The thesis missed its price target.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
