An update from Ashford Hospitality ( (AHT) ) is now available.
On February 17, 2026, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., through its indirect subsidiary Ashford Austin LP, completed the sale of the 150-room Embassy Suites Austin in Austin, Texas, for approximately $13.2 million in cash net of selling expenses, and used about $13.0 million of the proceeds to pay down a mortgage loan secured by 13 hotels, including the property sold. Unaudited pro forma financial information for 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was prepared to reflect the removal of Embassy Suites Austin’s assets, liabilities, and operating results, including a preliminary non-recurring gain from the sale, providing investors with an illustrative view of the company’s post-disposition balance sheet and earnings profile.
The transaction modestly reduces Ashford Trust’s total assets and indebtedness while slightly lowering cash, indicating a strategic effort to de-lever and streamline its hotel portfolio. Stakeholders are given additional visibility into how the sale could affect the REIT’s financial position and operating metrics, although management cautions that the pro forma figures are for informational purposes only and actual future results may differ.
The most recent analyst rating on (AHT) stock is a Hold with a $4.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ashford Hospitality stock, see the AHT Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on AHT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AHT is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by weak financial performance, especially negative equity/high leverage and sustained losses, which outweigh improving free cash flow. Technicals are modestly positive in the short term (price above 20/50-day averages and positive MACD), but valuation remains challenged due to negative earnings and no dividend yield data.
