Ashford Hospitality Trust is recommended for its strong 25% funds from operations (FFO) yield, which is a more appropriate metric for REITs. The company has a strong portfolio of high-end hotels and is recovering from the pandemic, with revenue per room back to 2019 levels. The analyst expects a dividend reinstatement, which could boost the share price.
“besides the solid 25 earnings yield you get with shares a new dividend could boost the share price and put cash in your pocket”
