What the filing says
Ashford Hospitality Trust sold nine hotels during Q2 2026 for $385.3M and two more post-quarter for $79.1M combined (nine properties named individually). Total debt fell from $2.6B (Dec 31, 2025) to $2.0B (June 30, 2026), a $599.5M or 23.3% reduction. On August 7, 2026, the company refinanced its $525M Highland mortgage at SOFR + 5.24% (down from SOFR + 5.47%), releasing 14 hotels from a cash sweep. Q2 comparable RevPAR rose 6.6% to $155.7; comparable Hotel EBITDA grew 9.6% to $79.9M with margin expansion of 158 basis points. Adjusted AFFO per diluted share was $2.67 vs. $0.78 prior year.
Why this rating
Major portfolio reduction (11 hotels) and debt cut (23% of total) improve leverage and near-term liquidity for $35.2M market-cap company; strong operational metrics support turnaround narrative but asset fire-sale strategy signals stress.
