Confirming evidence

  • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +7.6.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • Decline in occupancy or ADRs
  • Dividend cut or slower-than-expected demand recovery
  • Bear case: weaker corporate travel, wider cap rates, or a dividend reduction compresses multiples toward analyst lows near $6.00; leverage amplifies downside.
