Apple Hospitality REIT (APLE) Moves to Buy: Rationale Behind the Upgrade
Zacks has assigned Apple Hospitality REIT its No. 2, or Buy, ranking, according to an analysis republished by Yahoo Finance Australia. The upgrade is attributed to improving earnings estimates, rather than a new acquisition or a reported change in the hotel owner's operating results.
The article explains that Zacks' ranking process tracks revisions to consensus earnings forecasts for the current and following year. Its favorable assessment is therefore an estimate-based rating. The report does not provide a quantified Apple Hospitality earnings forecast, and the ranking does not establish that the expected improvement or a share-price gain will occur.
