DiamondRock Hospitality raises 2026 guidance after strong Q2 with 25.7% AFFO growth and dividend hike

DiamondRock Hospitality Company reported strong Q2 2026 results, including a 7% increase in revenue per available room (RevPAR) and a 25.7% rise in adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) to $0.44 per share. The company expanded its EBITDA margin and improved its balance sheet with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.1x, reduced floating-rate debt exposure, and ample liquidity. These factors supported a 22% dividend increase and led to raised guidance across all 2026 financial metrics. Despite a recent 20% stock rally, DiamondRock still trades below peer valuations, with positive Q3 trends suggesting further upside potential. The company maintains a Buy rating with a new price target of $15 per share.
