Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.3% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Results due soon. Results are expected around 4 November; the share price can move sharply on the day.
  • High earnings multiple. The shares trade at 69 times the last 12 months' earnings, so expectations are demanding.
  • Below peers: long-term debt as % of assets. Long-term debt as % of assets of 51.5% ranks 12 of 14 hotel & resort reits companies we cover (median 45.0%).
  • Below peers: stock pay as % of revenue. Stock pay as % of revenue of 1.2% ranks 11 of 13 hotel & resort reits companies we cover (median 0.7%).
  • Heavily shorted. 10.1% of the shares available to trade are sold short (6.4 days of average volume to cover).

Moat

59 /100

Moderate moat

How hard RLJ Lodging Trust's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median 1.3% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Durability 14 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 15.8%; its worst year was 10.8%.

  • Cash conversion 14 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 8 of 10 years, at a median 11.6% of revenue.

  • Discipline 20 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 8.5% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.2% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Low. In this industry, the business rests on physical assets, regulated networks or products AI itself depends on.

Consensus figures average analysts' published estimates (third-party data); guidance is the company's own. Neither is our forecast. Short interest is reported twice a month and lags. Market data may be delayed.

This section is general information, not investment advice or a personal recommendation, and it does not take account of your objectives or circumstances. Forecasts and guidance are estimates, not promises: companies miss their own guidance and analysts' figures are often revised. Prices can fall as well as rise, and you can lose money.
