Why consensus could be wrong
The Street may underestimate Starwood's ability to adapt to changing market conditions, especially if it reports strong demand for its mortgage products despite economic headwinds.
Supporting evidence
Starwood has consistently beaten EPS expectations in 75% of the last eight quarters.
The options market is pricing a relatively modest move, suggesting that significant upside potential may be overlooked.
Key risk
If revenue significantly exceeds $471 million, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
This quarter's performance is crucial as it will help determine the company's ability to maintain profitability amidst economic fluctuations.
Bull confirmed if
An EPS of $0.44 or higher would confirm the bull case, indicating strong profitability.
