Starwood Property Trust reported second quarter 2025 earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, driven primarily by strong growth in its infrastructure lending business. The mortgage real estate investment trust achieved net income of $129.8 million, a 66% increase year-over-year, and earnings per share of $0.43, surpassing estimates. Its infrastructure lending segment reached record performance with $699 million in new commitments, highlighting the success of its platform established nearly seven years ago. The company also acquired the net lease platform Fundamental Income Properties for $2.2 billion, aiming to diversify beyond commercial real estate lending and grow earnings significantly over time.
