SVC Pins $109M EBITDA Growth Target on 77 Retained Hotels, Sales Start 2027
SVC is trading near its 52-week low of $4.99 (8.8% above the low) on light trading volume (0.1× avg).
Summary
SVC laid out a plan to generate roughly $109M of EBITDA growth across 77 retained hotels over the next 12 to 24 months, with hotel sales starting in 2027 and substantially all of the portfolio sold by end-2028. The company also targets leverage of no more than 5x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, down from the current 9x, with sale proceeds doing the heavy lifting. This is a forward-looking strategic plan, not realized results — no prior-period comparison was given, and the EBITDA and proceeds depend on operations, buyers and financing. It lands after the board unanimously rejected TKO LLC's nonbinding $2 billion hotel portfolio offer on November 9 and reaffirmed the existing strategy in the face of Blackwells Capital's demands. The Q3 10-Q showed a $463 million nine-month loss with $271 million of impairments and cash down to $40 million, so execution on these sales and the leverage target is the whole story. Watch for the first hotel sale announcements in 2027 and progress on the $650 million revolver maturing June 2027.
