Fair value as of: Jul 27, 2026
From 16 valuation models · updated 14 days ago
Share price +0.4% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 55% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($11.80). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (50/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- As a real-estate business, asset- and dividend-based methods carry more weight here than a standard DCF.

Analysis
Whitestone REIT (WSR) currently trades at $18.99, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $8.56, implying the stock looks roughly 54.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 50/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Whitestone REIT generated revenue of $164M at a net margin of 30.7%. Revenue grew 8.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.3%. Net debt stands at $639M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $7.72 (bear case) to $11.80 (bull case); at $18.99, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 70% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at -53% fair-value upside, at -55%, WSR screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($16.51) versus Growth DCF ($1.07). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
