Truist Securities reports, “Overall U.S. RevPAR was +1.2% y/y for the week ending 4/20/2024, per STR, below the prior week's result of +5.8% y/y but above the trailing 10-week average of +0.6%. On what appeared to be a clean comp week, we focus on two areas. For Midscale/ Economy, we see possible evidence of the tough y/y comp flipping/easing. Midscale RevPAR was -0.1% and Economy was down (just) 3.5% y/y. By comparison in 1Q24, Midscale was -4.5% and Economy was -7% y/y. For full-service hotels, we thought Group was a bit light at +3.4% y/y as last week should have benefited from the Passover calendar shift. Upscale RevPAR: +1.4% y/y; Upper Midscale RevPAR: +0.3% y/y”.
