Our Take on STWD
Starwood Property’s focus on commercial mortgage-backed securities and commercial real estate debt investments continues to provide stable income streams. Its ongoing efforts in property acquisitions and divestitures should help diversify its portfolio and enhance long-term resilience. However, the decline in BVPS and earnings, despite higher revenues, signals pressure on profitability in the near term.
