â–²(18.79% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:05/09/26
The score is driven by strong technical uptrend and a constructive earnings update (raised guidance, robust group bookings, solid liquidity). These positives are partially offset by balance sheet/leverage concerns (and debt-data inconsistency) and overbought technical readings, with valuation appearing fair rather than distinctly cheap.
Positive Factors
Forward group bookings strength
Substantially stronger forward group bookings materially increase revenue visibility for future periods, underpinning sustained occupancy and higher ADR from corporate groups. This durable pipeline supports cash flow predictability, better banquet/ancillary spend, and resilience versus transient demand swings.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage and reporting inconsistency
High historical leverage amplifies earnings and cash-flow sensitivity in downturns and limits strategic optionality. The inconsistent TTM debt datapoint increases uncertainty around covenant headroom and true net leverage, complicating long-term risk assessment and capital planning.

Ryman Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 30, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 05, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a predominantly positive operational and financial trajectory: strong same-store hospitality results, record performance at multiple properties, robust group bookings (gross group room nights +~27% YoY), notable outperformance at the recently acquired JW Marriott Desert Ridge (ADR ~+8%, group demand +9%, banquet/AV +25%), solid liquidity ($424M cash, ~$1.35B available) and proactive balance sheet management (issued $700M 2034 notes). Entertainment showed bright spots (Ole Red, Category 10) but the segment declined year over year due to tough comps and seasonality. Management acknowledged inventory-management-driven comparability headwinds for 2027–2028, weather disruption in January, and macro/geopolitical risks that could temper demand. Overall, positives such as strong bookings, margin expansion, and disciplined capital allocation materially outweigh the headwinds discussed.Positive Updates
Strong Same-Store Hospitality Performance
Same-store hospitality grew revenue and market share while expanding margin despite slightly fewer room nights. Same-store ADR increased just over 5% year over year, driven by pricing discipline and higher-value mix.
Negative Updates
Entertainment Segment Year-Over-Year Decline
Overall Entertainment results declined year over year in Q1 due to a challenging comparison, seasonality from a new business line, and the impact of winter storm Fern—pressuring segment profitability despite bright spots at Ole Red and Category 10.

Company Guidance
The company said it is raising the midpoints of its full-year guidance after a stronger-than-expected Q1 and reiterated measured confidence for the remainder of 2026, assuming mid-single-digit growth in group rooms revenue and flattish year‑over‑year leisure performance; they expect same‑store RevPAR growth to accelerate through the year with Q3 the strongest quarter for revenue and margin and Q2 and Q4 the largest contributors for Entertainment. Key metrics cited include Q1 gross group room nights booked up nearly 27% year‑over‑year (strongest Q1 production since 2018) with corporate bookings ≈ two‑thirds of production, same‑store group rooms revenue on the books rising from +6.5% (Dec 31) to +7.6% (Mar 31), on‑the‑books growth of >3% for 2027 and −1% for 2028 with ADR pacing mid‑single digits, and a target of 50 points of occupancy on the books for 2027. Financial/liquidity items in the outlook: unrestricted cash $424M (plus $27M restricted), undrawn revolvers and total availability ≈ $1.35B, pro forma net leverage ~4.3x (net debt to Adjusted EBITDAre, assuming full‑year Desert Ridge contribution), completion of a $700M senior note issuance due 2034 (redeeming 2027 notes), and unchanged full‑year CapEx guidance of $350M–$450M.Ryman Financial Statement Overview
