Jim Cramer on Starwood Property: “It’s Not Been a Good Stock”

Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:STWD) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed on Mad Money, along with the recent sell-off in the market. A caller asked what was wrong with the company, and Cramer replied:

Barry’s a good guy. It’s got a lot of properties that are, you know, commercial real estate properties in cities that aren’t that good… It’s not been a good stock. And what can I say? I have not been recommending it. That’s the best thing I can say about it.

Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:STWD) provides real estate credit, property investments, and infrastructure lending, including commercial mortgages, residential loans, equity interests, and commercial mortgage-backed securities-related assets. The company maintains a REIT status. During the episode aired on December 12, 2025, a caller asked whether it was time to add the stock to the watchlist. The Mad Money host replied:

Okay, this is a tough one for me. I think the world of Barry Sternlicht. It’s got a 10% yield, which is really terrific. I want Barry to come on and tell me what’s in the portfolio so I would feel better recommending it, because I was quite surprised they would have such a precipitous fall given how good Barry Sternlicht really is.
