ThesisStreet consensus, scenarios, merits, risks, and invalidation triggers Thesis Summary Sunstone Hotel Investors (NYSE: SHO) presents a compelling operational turnaround story driven by the successful rebranding of Andaz Miami Beach and a highly conservative balance sheet with no debt maturities until 2028. However, the stock has run up significantly, touching fresh 52-week highs near $11.70, which largely prices in the near-term recovery. Given the high concentration of growth reliant on a single asset (Andaz Miami Beach) and broader macroeconomic headwinds affecting luxury leisure travel, a Hold recommendation is warranted as the risk/reward ratio is balanced at current levels. This section is the 12-month view: analyst targets and the probability-weighted scenarios built from them. The intrinsic value at the top of this page answers a different question: what the business is worth today.

Different horizons, different questions. Our research · scenarios, merits, risks, and invalidation triggersResearch as of 18 Sep 2026 Scenarios · 12-month scenario targets Bear CaseDownside scenario $9.0020% The bear case reflects a normalization of post-pandemic leisure demand and persistent price sensitivity at oceanfront resorts. Renovation disruptions or slower-than-expected ramp-up at Andaz Miami Beach, combined with macroeconomic pressures on corporate travel, drag RevPAR growth to the low end of expectations, capping FFO per share and driving the stock down toward its historical valuation multiples. Base CaseCentral scenario $11.7950% Matches the consensus meanThe base case assumes Sunstone delivers on its upgraded FY 2026 guidance, with RevPAR growing between 5.0% and 7.5% and Adjusted FFO per share landing near the midpoint of $0.92. The balance sheet remains highly secure with net leverage at 3.5x (4.7x including preferreds), and capital recycling continues to support modest buybacks and dividend growth. Bull CaseUpside scenario $13.3730% The bull case is anchored on rapid stabilization of Andaz Miami Beach exceeding the high end of EBITDA guidance ($31 million), coupled with a swift recovery in Maui and San Francisco. Under this scenario, corporate EBITDA scales toward the $310 million stabilized target ahead of schedule, and aggressive share repurchases at a discount to NAV accelerate FFO per share growth beyond 40%. Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale. Key Investment Merits
