UPDATE: Evercore ISI Upgrades Diamondrock Hospitality (DRH) to Outperform

(Updated - October 18, 2022 6:15 AM EDT)

Evercore ISI analyst Diane Pfenningwerth upgraded Diamondrock Hospitality (NYSE: DRH) from In Line to Outperform with a price target of $11.00.

The analyst comments "...our largest positive revision to 3Q22 EBITDA is on HST (+12%), largest + for FY22 is on DRH (+6%), while PK, PEB move lower by ~3%. For ’23 we’re slightly ahead of consensus on DRH, 7% below on SHO as Street’s 20% EBITDA growth in ’23 strikes us as ambitious. Given discount valuation (-6% discount to group on ’23), the portfolio’s continued outperformance on RevPAR and reasonable expectations, our rating on DRH is upgraded to Outperform from In-line. Conversely, given premium valuation (12% premium to group) and full expectations on ’23, we’re moving to the sidelines on SHO, lowering our rating to In-line from Outperform."
