Pebblebrook Hotel: Strong Q4 Performance and Strategic Positioning Drive Buy RatingWe are upgrading PEB to Outperform and establishing a $14 price target. PEB’s 4Q beat, better 2025 RevPAR outlook (vs. peers), outperformance at redeveloped assets, and an EBITDA guide that would have been above consensus if not for the LA fires (one-time), all point to an improving fundamental backdrop for the industry and PEB’s portfolio in particular. PEB shares are down 13% YTD (vs. the REITs up 4%), trading at a +40% discount to NAV, and are now at a level not seen since the COVID pandemic. We believe the recent sell-off/underperformance and discounted valuation presents an attractive entry point.
