Whitestone REIT Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of USD 11.67

Whitestone REIT has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 11.67 as of October 7, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the microcap realty company, which has seen its stock price decrease by 10.5% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 17.2% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 1,321 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 40.00. Whitestone REIT offers a dividend yield of 2.01%, but its financial metrics indicate some underlying weaknesses. The return on equity (ROE) is reported at 7.89%, while the average ROE in the industry is notably lower. Additionally, the company's net sales have grown at an annual rate of just 5.06%, reflecting limited long-term growth potential.

In the most recent half-year results, Whitestone REIT reported a net profit of USD 8.76 million, which represents a decline of 26.63%. The debtors turnover ratio is at a low of 2.19 times, and cash and equivalents have also reached a low of USD 24.72 million. These factors contribute to the stock's performance challenges in both the near and long term.
