  Net loss attributable to stockholders was $112.854 million in Q1 2026, an improvement from $177.180 million in Q1 2025. However, net cash provided by operating activities decreased significantly to $54.214 million from $85.246 million in the prior year period.

• Severe Share Repurchase Restrictions Confirmed

  The company confirmed the amendment to its share repurchase plan, effective April 29, 2026, which suspends general repurchases and limits them to death/disability and accounts below $5,000, each capped at $5 million per month. This follows previous disclosures on April 29, 2026.

• Limited April Repurchases Under New Plan

  Under the newly restricted plan, only $4.8 million of common stock was repurchased in April 2026, a sharp decline from $120.3 million repurchased during the first quarter of 2026.

• Significant Debt Maturities Loom

  Starwood REIT faces approximately $4.0 billion in indebtedness maturing within the next 12 months, including $2.2 billion in mortgage notes, $0.2 billion in secured credit facilities, and $1.6 billion from its unsecured line of credit.

Starwood Real Estate Income Trust's Q1 2026 results show continued net losses and a significant decrease in operating cash flow. The company confirmed the severe restrictions on its share repurchase plan, which now only allows limited repurchases for death/disability and small accounts, as evidenced by only $4.8 million repurchased in April compared to $120.3 million in Q1. This highlights the company's significant liquidity challenges, further exacerbated by $4.0 billion in debt maturing within the next 12 months against only $393.6 million in available liquidity. Management plans to address these maturities through strategic capital transactions and refinancing, but the situation remains critical for shareholder liquidity.
