RLJ Lodging Trust: While It Upgrades Its Hotels, Raymond James Just Upgraded The Stock Too
RLJ Lodging Trust (RLJ) gets a buy rating for my initial coverage, in the wake of an upgrade this week from financial firm Raymond James. Despite some outperformance metrics from key peers like Apple Hospitality Trust and Park Hotels/Resorts, RLJ also boasts a nationally-diversified hotel portfolio as they do. Post-pandemic dividend growth return, an attractive +8% yield, and modest balance sheet risk profile are added positives.
RLJ Lodging (RLJ) Reports Q3 Earnings: What Key Metrics Have to Say

RLJ Lodging (RLJ) Beats Q3 FFO and Revenue Estimates
RLJ Lodging (RLJ) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.27 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.26 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.4 per share a year ago.
RLJ Lodging: A Hybrid Approach With The High-Yielding Preferred Shares
RLJ Lodging Trust preferred shares offer an attractive 7.6% yield, with strong coverage from AFFO and minimal call risk. RLJ's preferred dividend payout ratio remains healthy, requiring less than 16% of post-capex AFFO, supported by a robust balance sheet and low leverage. The REIT's loan-to-value ratio is conservative, with book value LTV at 43% and acquisition-cost LTV below 35%, reducing risk for preferred holders.
RLJ Lodging Trust: Why This Beaten-Down Hotel REIT Offers Strong Upside
RLJ Lodging Trust offers a concentrated, Sunbelt-focused hotel portfolio with strong brand exposure, benefiting from vibrant markets and demographic tailwinds. The REIT demonstrates healthy cash flow, prudent capital allocation, and a manageable payout ratio, despite sector cyclicality. Debt is well-managed with ample liquidity, but refinancing risk and rising interest expenses warrant caution, especially given short average debt maturities.

Credit Rating For The Unrated REITs (Part 6): RLJ Lodging Trust
