Barclays Recommends Buying the Dip in 2 Hotel REIT Stocks with High Dividend Yields

Barclays analyst Richard Hightower recommends buying the dip in two hotel REIT stocks with up to 9% dividend yield, citing a recovery in the lodging REIT sector and a strong outlook for revenue growth in 2026 due to easier comparables, big events, and stable supply growth. Apple Hospitality REIT and Host Hotels & Resorts are among the top picks, with the former boasting a diverse portfolio of 217 hotels in 84 markets across the US.
