Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 38% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 26, 2025
Starwood’s share price is about 13 % below the value of what it owns and it pays a big 9.7 % cash payout. The company just bought a steady rent-collecting business, so its income is more balanced and less tied to risky property loans. Trading activity hints buyers are starting to step in, and the cash payout announcement in mid-August usually lifts the stock a bit. A move up to about $22.50 in the next three months seems reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Share price is 13 % under assets and pays 9.7 %, giving a safety cushion
- New purchase adds steady rent income and reduces reliance on risky loans
- Trading signals suggest the stock was oversold and buyers are returning
- Payout news in mid-August typically nudges the stock up 2-3 % before the date
