Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (SHO-PI) is a real-estate investment trust, and a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong lens for one, so TickerWorth does not publish a DCF fair value for it. What its filings and market data do show is below. Snapshot as of Oct 19, 2026.

How is a REIT like SHO-PI valued?
This is a REIT. A free-cash-flow DCF is structurally the wrong lens for property: heavy depreciation and continuous property capex swamp reported free cash flow, which is why REITs are valued on FFO/AFFO, net asset value and dividend yield. We show those lenses instead of a DCF number we would not stand behind.

What we can say
Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (SHO-PI) is a real-estate investment trust, and a free-cash-flow discounted-cash-flow (DCF) model is structurally the wrong lens for one. A REIT's reported free cash flow is swamped by property depreciation and the continuous capital spending that maintaining a portfolio requires, which is why the industry is valued on funds from operations (FFO/AFFO), net asset value and dividend yield instead. We have the data to print a DCF number for SHO-PI; we don't publish one because it would not mean what it appears to mean. What follows is how a REIT is actually read — descriptive, not a valuation, and not investment advice.
Read the full reasoning
On the numbers we do have, SHO-PI trades at a recent price of $19.50, sitting 36% of the way up its 52-week range ($18.01–$22.14), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing SHO-PI's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 52.7× (richer than the peer median of 27.7×); P/B of 2.2× (cheaper than the peer median of 6.8×); EV/EBITDA of 21.3× (richer than the peer median of 19.3×); Dividend yield of 7.3% (cheaper than the peer median of 3.9%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. SHO-PI shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 2.22 and book value of $8.80 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. SHO-PI is in a mixed trend, trading -11.9% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is -0.9%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
To be exact about what this page is not: we are not saying the numbers for SHO-PI are unavailable. They are, and they are above. We are saying a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong instrument for this kind of business, and publishing one anyway — because the inputs happen to exist — would be a precise answer to the wrong question.
It trades thinly (low average volume), so quoted prices and any derived metrics should be treated with extra caution. Refusing is the more useful answer, and it is the same rule we apply to every name in this category.
