Deutsche Bank reiterated their hold rating on shares of Hersha Hospitality Trust (NYSE: HT) in a research report sent to investors on Monday morning. The firm currently has a $5.25 price target on the stock, up from their previous price target of $5.00.

“We are updating our HT model post 4Q results and HT’s preferred equity offering. Strong transient demand in NYC following Superstorm Sandy has provided HT’s hotels with a temporary lift. While supply growth in NYC may be delayed by the storm, the high profitability of mid-block limited service hotels in NYC will attract new supply, limiting rate growth potential in our view. Our price target goes to $5.25. We remain at Hold.,” Deutsche Bank’s analyst commented.
