Benefits of Investing in US Lodging Stocks

Record Demand

The US lodging industry sold a record number of room nights in the first half of 2026, up 11.4 mn over 2025, while room revenue rose by more than $5.4 bn, according to CoStar and Tourism Economics.

Fee-Based Income

Many large lodging companies earn a significant share of income from management and franchise fees rather than owning hotels. This model generally requires less capital and links earnings to room revenue across a wide hotel network.

Pricing Power

US average daily rate (ADR) is forecast to grow 3.1% in 2026, with luxury hotels expected to see ADR growth of 5.9%, indicating that US lodging companies have been able to raise room rates alongside demand.

Sector Diversity

The sector spans luxury resorts, upscale and select-service hotels, economy chains and extended-stay accommodation. These segments serve different traveller groups, giving lodging stocks exposure across leisure, business and group travel.

Risks of Investing in Lodging Stocks

Economic Sensitivity

Hotel demand closely tracks consumer and corporate spending. Financial pressure on lower-income travellers is already constraining performance at lower-priced hotels, and a broader slowdown could reduce both occupancy and rates.

Event-Driven Comparisons

The World Cup inflated June and July 2026 results, and CoStar expects tough year-over-year comparisons to slow 2027 RevPAR growth to 2.1%, which could weigh on reported growth for US lodging stocks.

International Travel

International inbound travel to the US was nearly flat in June 2026, up just 0.2%, and has declined in the same months in consecutive years. Geopolitical conflicts and trade tensions can further disrupt cross-border travel.

Rising Costs

Operating expenses across the lodging industry, including wages, insurance and maintenance, are expected to rise faster than inflation in 2026 and 2027, which can squeeze margins, especially for companies that own or lease hotels.

Factors That Influence US Lodging Stocks’ Performance

RevPAR Trends

Revenue per available room (RevPAR), which combines occupancy and average daily rate, is the key lodging industry metric. Changes in RevPAR directly affect hotel revenue and the fees earned by franchisors and managers.

Business Model

Asset-light companies that rely on fees tend to have steadier margins, while owners and operators are more exposed to property costs, debt and real estate values. The mix can cause lodging stocks to behave differently through the cycle.

Pipeline and Unit Growth

The size of a company’s development pipeline and its net rooms growth rate indicate how quickly it can expand its network and future fee income, independent of RevPAR trends.

Geographic Exposure

Performance can vary widely by region. In 2026, US and Americas RevPAR grew strongly while some international markets, including Greater China and parts of the Middle East, were weaker, making regional mix an important factor.

Key Growth Drivers for Lodging Stocks

Major Events

The FIFA World Cup and America 250 celebrations supported stronger leisure and business travel in 2026 and were cited as key reasons behind the upgrade in the 2026 US RevPAR forecast to 4.4%.

Limited New Supply

Room supply in the US lodging industry is forecast to grow only 0.4% in 2026 and 0.6% in 2027, as inflation and above-average interest rates restrict new construction. Slow supply growth can help existing hotels maintain occupancy and rates.

Conversions

Conversions of existing hotels to new brands reached a record 1,567 projects with 152,044 rooms in Q2 2026, up 18% by rooms year-over-year, according to Lodging Econometrics. This allows US lodging companies to grow their networks faster than through new builds alone.

Group Travel Recovery

Group demand for meetings, conferences and events is expected to keep recovering through 2026 and 2027, with upper-tier hotels recording year-to-date group demand growth of 1.8% in 2026.

Conclusion

Performance across the sector is influenced by RevPAR trends, the balance between fee-based and owned-hotel business models, development pipeline and unit growth, and geographic exposure. Economic sensitivity, tough comparisons after the 2026 World Cup, subdued international inbound travel and rising operating costs are among the factors worth weighing when evaluating this sector.
