Figma Shares Indicated To Open $105/$110
Wednesday, April 16, 2025, saw Stifel analysts adjusting their outlook on Chatham Lodging Trust (NYSE:CLDT) shares. The firm lowered its price target on the stock to $9.50 from the previous $11.00 while maintaining a Buy rating. Currently trading at $6.82, the stock has experienced significant pressure, down nearly 23% year-to-date. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company is trading at attractive valuation multiples, with several indicators suggesting potential undervaluation. The revision reflects a change in the company’s financial forecasts, with Stifel revising their 2025 Funds From Operations (FFO) estimate to $1.03 from $1.10 and the 2026 FFO estimate to $1.12 from $1.19.
The decision to adjust the price target and FFO estimates was based on current trends that suggest weaker performance in the second quarter of 2025. Stifel’s analysis indicates that the company’s financial results may not meet previous expectations due to these trends. The company maintains a 5.29% dividend yield and has shown 28.57% dividend growth in the last twelve months, despite challenging market conditions.
Stifel’s report also acknowledges the presence of uncertainty in the market, which could lead to further changes in the company’s performance outlook as the year progresses. The analysts have indicated that their estimates for the second half of 2025 could be subject to revision based on how market conditions evolve throughout the year.
The analyst, Simon Yarmak, provided specific insights into the adjustments, stating, "We are adjusting our 2025 FFO estimate to $1.03 (from $1.10) and our 2026 FFO estimate to $1.12 (from $1.19). We are taking down 2Q25 estimates to reflect weaker current trends. Our 2H25 estimates could change as the year progresses given the current uncertainty."
Despite the lowered price target and FFO estimates, Stifel has chosen to maintain a Buy rating on Chatham Lodging Trust shares, indicating that the firm still sees potential value in the stock despite the near-term challenges reflected in their revised forecasts.
