Over on CAPS, some 24% of the 291 members who have rated Starwood believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include E1971 and wolfhounds.

Two weeks ago, E1971 voiced concerns over Starwood's high exposure to business travel:

This will take a while to come back and may not reach prior levels as [travel and entertainment] gets more monitored. [Starwood] has good product, but it skews to the top of the market whose customers are pulling way back on any discretionary expense.

In a pitch from one week earlier, wolfhounds offered a take on Starwood's latest quarter:

[Starwood] is the largest owner of high end hotels in the world. its brands include Sheraton, Westin, and St. Regis. 1st qtr earnings dropped 81% as sales dropped 24%, but that sounds like the norm this quarterly reporting for many companies. [Starwood], however, faces daunting problems despite drastic cost cutting that saved $100m. A full 20% of sales from company owned properties are in NYC. With recession's end unknown, and Wall St. firms having disappeared forever, much of this decline could be permanent.

The 23.4% decline in [revenue per available room] should be a concern at a time when the company is spending $2B on new investments and $1.3B in renovations.
