The main question: the share price moved +45.1% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −70.9%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Sunstone Hotel Investors share price today? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.'s share price was $12.84 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 23 weeks. That is 21.2% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $9 and $13, and at that close it was at the high of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 3 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +3% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Sunstone Hotel Investors pay? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. paid $0.36 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.09 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $12.84 that is a yield of 2.80%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Sunstone Hotel Investors on? Sunstone Hotel Investors is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Sunstone Hotel Investors profitable? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. earned $26.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +141.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $24.6 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −7.1% a year on average. That is 9.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $10.8 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $24.6 M (−43.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.1 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +274.7% and revenue +7.2%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Sunstone Hotel Investors make, and is it growing? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. reported $276 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +6.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 17.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $960 M. The last four reported quarters add to $1.0 B. FY25 revenue was $960 M, +6.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +7.2% on average, against 17.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +7.2%, against +3.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +164.1%, against −45.9% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Sunstone Hotel Investors keep? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.'s operating margin was 12.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −16.0% and 12.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## Is Sunstone Hotel Investors' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 200% of Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $182 M of operating cash against $24.6 M of profit. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets. ## Where does Sunstone Hotel Investors' cash go? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean. ## What is Sunstone Hotel Investors' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.'s P/E is 59.0×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 66% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 27.9×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −70.9% while the price moved +45.1%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +9.5% a year; about −19.1% a year came from earnings growth and about +28.6 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Sunstone Hotel Investors business getting better or worse? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.'s business is getting better. EPS growth hit its low 3 quarters ago at −97.9% and has recovered to +1144.8%, with ROCE steady at 3.0%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. ## How much does Sunstone Hotel Investors earn on its capital? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. earned a ROE of 1% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 5.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.6% net margin and 0.32× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 2.6% net margin × 0.32× asset turnover × 1.56× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 1.3% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 3.2% − 8.5% = −5.3 percentage points. The 8.5% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Sunstone Hotel Investors have too much debt? Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. has total debt of $975 M against shareholder equity of $1.9 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.52× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.29 in FY21 to 0.48 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Sunstone Hotel Investors shareholding pattern? 0.0% of Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 0.0 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Sunstone Hotel Investors from balance-sheet trouble? For Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc., the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Sunstone Hotel Investors rank in its industry? 61.3 out of 100, rank 2 of 13 in REIT - Hotel & Motel, with 80% of the evidence available. Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. scores 61.3 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in REIT - Hotel & Motel, ranking 2. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 28 + 14.2 + 6.7 + 12.4 = 61.3. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Sunstone Hotel Investors compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Jun 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
