Summit Hotel: 8% Yield Comes With Cyclical Risks In Preferred Series E And F
Summit Hotel Properties' preferred stocks, INN.PR.E and INN.PR.F, yield over 8% and trade below par, but carry elevated credit risk. INN's credit profile is constrained by the cyclical hotel sector, with a Moody's-equivalent rating of Ba3 for the company and B2 for preferred shares. Asset coverage and liquidity metrics are reasonable, but net debt to EBITDA is high at 8x.
