Ryman Hospitality Properties Lifts 2026 Outlook as Group Bookings Drive Record Growth Ryman Hospitality Properties reported Q1 2026 revenue of $664.6 million, up 13.2% year over year, with earnings per share of $2.32, more than double last year.
Hospitality segment revenue was up 17.6%, supported by higher same-store ADR and nearly 27% growth in group room bookings, while entertainment revenue saw an 11.6% decline.
Funds from operations reached $156.1 million and full-year FFO per share guidance was raised to a range of $8.77 to $9.14, alongside a $700 million senior notes issuance to refinance and extend debt maturities.
For investors, the story centers on Ryman’s large group-focused hotel portfolio. Strong ADR and group bookings indicate robust demand for its convention and corporate business, which contributed to record adjusted EBITDA at key properties such as Gaylord Opryland, Gaylord Rockies, Gaylord Palms and JW Marriott Desert Ridge. At the same time, the entertainment segment is softer, with an 11.6% revenue decline, which management is addressing by expanding the Ole Red concept, including a planned seventh location in downtown Indianapolis targeted for late 2027.
The balance sheet move, issuing $700 million of senior unsecured notes due 2034 to redeem 2027 notes, extends the company’s debt runway and keeps liquidity in focus. With higher full-year FFO guidance and analysts expressing confidence in the quality of the asset base and business approach, the update provides a clearer picture of how Ryman is emphasizing its group-lodging strength while aiming to reinvigorate entertainment over the coming years.

New Risk • Mar 24
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.7% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.3x net interest cover). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.7% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (8.2% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$1.9m sold). Upcoming Dividend • Mar 20

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$2.3m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.4x net interest cover). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.
