Description: SHO Sunstone Hotel Investors

Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (NYSE: SHO) is a lodging real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California. As of the release date, the company owns 14 hotels comprising approximately 7,000 rooms, the majority operated under nationally recognized brands.

SHO pursues long-term stakeholder value through the acquisition, active ownership, and disposition of well-located hotel and resort properties. Incorporated in 1995, the company is classified within the Hotel & Resort REITs sub-industry of the GICS Real Estate sector and trades as a mid-cap stock with a market capitalization of roughly $2.16 billion.

Hotel & Resort REITs are typically more economically sensitive than other REIT subtypes, given the cyclical nature of travel and group demand. As a US REIT, Sunstone operates under federal tax rules that require the distribution of at least 90% of taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends.
