TKO Bid for Service Properties Hotel Assets and CFO Exit at Standard Motor

Service Properties Trust saw its shares climb 15% to close at $7.15 following reports that TKO LLC submitted an offer to acquire the company's hotel holdings. The momentum extended into after-hours trading, where the stock added another 1% to reach $7.22. The proposed valuation of $2 billion marks a significant pivot for the real estate investment trust.

The announcement triggered an immediate sell-off, with shares dropping 2.1% to $35.90 during extended trading hours as investors reacted to the unexpected vacancy in the company's leadership team.
