Starwood Property Trust (ISIN US85571B1052) was upgraded by Zacks Research from Hold to Strong Buy on October 22, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The company will release its third-quarter 2026 results on November 6, 2026, according to its official release dated October 12, 2026.
Ratings turn more selective
The October rating upgrade contrasts with a series of target reductions. JPMorgan analyst Richard Shane lowered the target from USD 18.50 to USD 16.00 while retaining an Overweight rating on October 16, 2026, as reported by Markets Insider. The report linked the review to higher interest rates and pressure on mortgage REIT book values and origination volumes.
Chronology puts the rating debate in context. Weiss Ratings cut its view from Hold to Sell on October 8, 2026; Keefe, Bruyette & Woods reduced its target from USD 18.50 to USD 16.00 on October 9, 2026; and Zacks Research upgraded the stock from Hold to Strong Buy on October 22, 2026, according to MarketBeat.
