Service Properties ( (SVC) ) has issued an announcement.

On January 1, 2026, Service Properties Trust and its external manager, The RMR Group LLC, amended their long-standing business management agreement to change the benchmark index used to calculate incentive management fees and assess termination for performance. For periods beginning on or after that date, the agreement will reference the MSCI US REIT Diversified Index instead of the prior MSCI U.S. REIT/Hotel & Resort REIT Index for these purposes, a move that was reviewed and approved by the company’s Compensation Committee composed solely of independent trustees, signaling an adjustment in how management performance is measured and potentially aligning incentives with a broader diversified REIT market benchmark.

Spark’s Take on SVC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SVC is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (losses, high leverage, and unstable cash flows) and bearish technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD). Offsetting factors include earnings-call progress on liquidity and debt maturities via substantial asset-sale and financing proceeds, while valuation support is limited given negative earnings despite a modest dividend yield.
