TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: We rate SOTHERLY HOTELS INC (SOHO) a SELL. This is driven by a few notable weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been poor profit margins.

It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -0.68% is significantly below that of the industry average. The companys current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation.

This stock has increased by 41.74% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period.
