Ashford Hospitality ( (AHT) ) just unveiled an update.

On March 17, 2026, Ashford Hospitality Trust completed the sale of the 157-room La Posada de Santa Fe hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for approximately $56.8 million in cash, net of selling expenses, through its indirect subsidiary Ashford Posada LP. The company used roughly $56.0 million of the proceeds to pay down a mortgage secured by La Posada and another hotel, and issued unaudited pro forma financials showing the removal of La Posada’s assets, liabilities, and operating results, including a preliminary, non-recurring gain on the disposition.

The transaction reflects Ashford Hospitality Trust’s continued portfolio reshaping and balance sheet management, as paying down the mortgage debt tied to the asset reduces leverage while crystallizing a one-time gain from the sale. Stakeholders are provided with updated pro forma financial information for 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, illustrating how the company’s financial position and performance would appear without La Posada, though the company noted the gain and related tax effects remain subject to final adjustment.

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.
