Xenia Hotels (XHR) Q2 2026: Impairment Charge Masks Solid Operating Momentum
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on July 30, 2026.
Xenia Hotels beat where it counts: July RevPAR surged 10% year-over-year and management raised full-year Adjusted FFO guidance to $1.96-$2.08, even as a $38.8M impairment charge on the Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel knocked reported earnings to -$0.21 versus the $0.245 consensus.

A $38.8 million impairment charge on the Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel was the culprit behind Xenia's headline miss. Reported EPS came in at -$0.21 against a consensus estimate of $0.245, and revenue of $295.5 million fell just short of the $302.1 million analysts had expected. Strip out that one-time charge, however, and the underlying picture looks considerably more encouraging.
The clearest signal of operational health came from July RevPAR, which surged 10% year-over-year — a notably strong datapoint given the broader uncertainty in leisure travel spending. Management backed that confidence with a raise to full-year Adjusted FFO guidance, now set in a range of $1.96 to $2.08.

Xenia's recent EPS history adds useful context: the company has beaten consensus estimates in each of the prior seven quarters, often by wide margins, including a Q2 2025 print of $0.61 against a $0.31 estimate. The Q2 2026 miss is a clean break from that streak, but the guidance raise and the July RevPAR acceleration suggest investors will be watching whether the operating momentum holds into the back half of the year.
