In the ever-evolving landscape of the stock market, some companies stand out as beacons of consistency and reliability. InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT) is one such company, having just declared its 55th consecutive annual dividend. This remarkable feat is a testament to IHT's unwavering commitment to its shareholders and its ability to navigate the ups and downs of the market. But what makes this year's dividend declaration even more noteworthy is the backdrop of record revenues that IHT has been experiencing.



IHT's record revenues in 2025 can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the company's strong hotel operations have been a driving force behind its success. With combined revenue leading to a record $6,531,170 for the first ten fiscal months of the year, IHT's hotels have been performing exceptionally well. This is further evidenced by the increased average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (REVPAR), which have both seen significant improvements. The trailing 12-month total revenue has also seen a 5% increase, highlighting the sustained growth that IHT has been experiencing.



Another factor contributing to IHT's record revenues is its diversification investment in UniGen Power Inc. (UPI). This clean energy generation innovation is projected to have high profit potential as electricity demand grows, and IHT holds stock, convertible bonds, and warrants that could result in an up to 20% ownership stake in UniGen. This high-risk, high-reward investment offers the potential for significant returns if successful, further bolstering IHT's future performance.

But perhaps the most impressive aspect of IHT's recent performance is its ability to maintain its 55-year streak of annual dividends. This consistency is a reflection of the company's strong hotel operating results and its commitment to returning value to shareholders. With a dividend yield of 0.76% and a payout of $0.02 per share in the past year, IHT's dividends provide a stable and consistent income stream for its shareholders.



In conclusion, IHT's declaration of its 55th consecutive annual dividend amidst record revenues is a testament to the company's ability to navigate the market's ups and downs and maintain a commitment to its shareholders. With its strong hotel operations, diversification investment in clean energy, and unwavering commitment to dividends, IHT is a shining example of a company that prioritizes stability and reliability in an ever-changing market. As investors, we can learn from IHT's example and seek out companies that offer a balance of growth and consistency, providing us with the best of both worlds.
