AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

DRH is shifting from a discounted lodging-recovery trade to an execution story: sustained RevPAR-led margin and per-share FFO growth could support rerating, but investors should wait for Q3 confirmation that gains survive capital spending, cost inflation, and softer travel demand.
