Daniel Politzer has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting Sunstone Hotel’s performance. The company’s recent financial results showed alignment with expectations, but ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, coupled with specific challenges such as the delayed opening of Andaz Miami and demand softness in key markets like Hawaii and Washington D.C., have led to a downward revision in revenue and EBITDA forecasts for the fiscal year 2025.
Additionally, Sunstone Hotel’s strategic direction has raised concerns among investors, particularly with its recent asset sales and stock repurchases, which suggest a potential shift in focus. Despite some positive trends anticipated for 2026, such as improved conditions in Hawaii and Miami, the current market conditions and the company’s valuation at a discount to its historical trading average contribute to the Sell rating, with a price target set at $8.
