Barclays analyst Richard Hightower maintains RLJ Lodging Trust (NYSE:RLJ) with a Underweight and raises the price target from $11 to $12.
The street is overcomplicating RLJ Lodging Trust of $0.01 par value (RLJ). Free cash flow yield of 12.59% and a 16/20 institutional flow pillar suggest meaningful cash generation and positioning support relative to the share price.. With an RQD score of 60/100 (C-) and Forensic Balance Sheet at 13/20, any positive earnings surprise or guidance raise forces underweight funds to chase above $13.62.
@ForensicBear Shorting a 17/20 institutional whale-flow stock at $12.61 is dangerous when funds are rotating into Financials.
Sitting on the sidelines or leaning short RLJ above $12.61. Trailing P/E of 67.9 against ROIC of 1.3% and declining net income from $76.4M to $28.5M leaves valuation poorly supported by returns.. Until Fundamental Cash Engine (12/20) and FCF yield (12.59%) inflect higher, upside is capped near $12.89.
