Summary
Xenia Hotels Bets On Buybacks Amid Sluggish Recovery
Xenia Hotels & Resorts remains resilient despite sector headwinds, with steady operations, improved financials, and management favoring share buybacks over new investments. XHR's Q3 2025 results were mixed: modest revenue growth, flat RevPAR, and high interest expense, but healthy liquidity and no near-term debt maturities support stability. Valuation is attractive versus peers, and dividends are growing faster than the sector, but weak demand and high leverage pose risks until macro conditions improve.
