Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 48% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 29, 2025
Starwood pays an 8% yearly dividend and the share price is roughly equal to the companys net worth on paper. It just bought Fundamental Income for $2.2 billion, adding steady rent checks to its loan income. Recent heavy selling now looks overdone, while investor mood is very optimistic and worries about higher interest rates are fading. In the past, this mix has often led to returns above 10%, so a move toward $22 over the next three months looks reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Buying Fundamental Income for $2.2B adds rent income and makes earnings steadier
- Trading patterns show selling pressure is almost done, pointing to a possible rebound
- An 8% dividend looks attractive, especially if the Fed stops raising rates
- Shares trade near book value and leaders own stock, limiting how far price could fall
