Market sentiment
Sentiment remains positive and has improved modestly on the guidance raise and higher price targets, partially offset by valuation concerns near highs and potential dilution from the ATM program.
Why this signal
Fundamentals improved (Q1 beat, higher RevPAR/EBITDAre guidance, shareholder returns), but after a rapid run-up to new highs the risk/reward looks more balanced. The extended ATM increases the likelihood of equity issuance into strength, which can cap near-term upside.
Hold/wait: maintain existing exposure; consider adding on a pullback or after Q2 results if guidance is reaffirmed without signs of margin pressure.
