DiamondRock Hospitality: Market Is Questioning Redemption Of The Preferred Shares

  • DiamondRock Hospitality owns 36 premium hotels and resorts, with a clean balance sheet and conservative leverage, making it resilient during potential recessions. The REIT faces upcoming debt maturities but is expected to refinance at higher costs, impacting profitability but not causing maturity wall issues. The Series A preferred shares, paying 8.25%, are expensive for DRH, and management is likely to redeem 50%-75% in August 2025.
