Diamondrock ( (DRH) ) has shared an announcement.

DiamondRock Hospitality Company, a U.S. lodging-focused REIT with a portfolio of 34 premium hotels and resorts in key leisure and gateway markets, continues to balance branded and independent lifestyle assets in its strategy. The company operates 9,400 rooms, leveraging both major global hotel families and boutique flags to diversify exposure and capture a wide range of demand drivers across the hospitality sector.

On May 1, 2026, DiamondRock completed the sale of its leasehold interest in the 189-room Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan/Fifth Avenue for $33 million, a deal reflecting a 6.3x multiple of the hotel’s 2025 Adjusted EBITDA and a 13.3% capitalization rate on 2025 net operating income. The transaction, driven by anticipated capital expenditure requirements, ground lease increases and labor cost pressures, prompted a modest reduction in the company’s 2026 guidance, trimming projected Adjusted EBITDA by $5.9 million and Adjusted FFO per share by $0.025, as management emphasized disciplined capital allocation and growth in free cash flow per share for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (DRH) stock is a Hold with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Diamondrock stock, see the DRH Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on DRH Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, DRH is a Outperform.

DRH’s score is led by solid financial performance (post-2021 profitability and strong TTM revenue growth) and a notably positive earnings update (raised 2026 guidance and improving margins). Technicals are supportive with price above key moving averages and balanced momentum. The main offsets are volatility and recent weakness in free cash flow, plus some uncertainty created by inconsistent TTM debt reporting, while valuation appears reasonable with a mid-range P/E and a ~4% dividend yield.
