Upturn Advisory & Investor View for APLE

10/26/2026: APLE (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Apple Hospitality REIT Inc is a real estate investment trust focused on owning upscale, select-service hotels across the United States. Its primary business strength lies in its portfolio of high-quality properties partnered with established brands like Marriott and Hilton. The company offers investors a steady income stream through regular dividends, making it a suitable choice for income-focused portfolios. Key risks include the cyclical nature of the hospitality industry, exposure to macroeconomic downturns, and the requirement for consistent capital reinvestment. Monitoring RevPAR growth and interest rate trends remains essential for investors, as these factors materially influence the company's financial health and competitive position.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
APLE receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
APLE has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 20.0%) and solid profitability (net margin 12.4%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-18.1%), slightly negative revenue growth (-1.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
APLE's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (20.0% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
APLE's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -1.3% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-18.1%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-13.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 90.1% and approximately 92.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 7.12% supports management-shareholder alignment.

State Street Corp 5.38%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.07%
Fuller & Thaler Asset Management Inc 3.51%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
APLE generates approximately $64 of gross profit, $177 of operating income, and $200 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and strong cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.54%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
APLE has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
