STOCKS CLIMB AS DOW POSTS 8TH STRAIGHT WIN

Fed's Michelle Bowman echoes higher-for-longer mantra for interest rates

Xenia Hotels & Resorts (XHR) Moves 8.4% Higher: Will This Strength Last?

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

Xenia Hotels & Resorts (XHR) shares rallied 8.4% in the last trading session to close at $14.87. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 24.4% loss over the past four weeks.

This increased optimism is backed by the rebounding fundamentals of the lodging industry, with strong leisure demand and improving levels of corporate and group demand across its markets, and its capacity to leverage growth potential.

This real estate investment trust that owns hotels is expected to post quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.41 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +412.5%. Revenues are expected to be $257.42 million, up 69.4% from the year-ago quarter.

While FFO and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in FFO estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
