U.S. Hotel Stocks Dropped 2.5% in February

March 20, 2023

The Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index fell 2.5% in February to a level of 5,541.

“Hotel stocks – just like the broader market – pulled back in February as the focus turned to earnings and initial 2023 outlooks,” said Michael Bellisario, senior hotel research analyst and director at Baird. “The global hotel brand stocks, while down slightly during the month, outperformed the S&P 500 on the heels on strong fourth quarter earnings reports and guidance that matched expectations; hotel REITs were weaker and relatively underperformed as investors focused on somewhat mixed fourth quarter earnings reports and 2023 guidance that embedded heightened expense pressures and outsized renovation disruption.”
