- 2. Boenning Scattergood analysts commented, "We are updating our quarterly estimates to adjust for the ongoing Louisville convention renovation, the Northern California renovation disruption, and the weaker year-on-year RevPAR comparisons in Houston and Austin. Our updated second quarter normalized FFO goes down by four cents to $0.69 per share, three cents below consensus. As a result, our full-year normalized FFO estimate declines by three cents to $2.37 per share. Because of these tweaks, we are marginally adjusting our NAV estimate downward to $24.15 per share. We remain Underperform on RLJ for the time being due to a softer second quarter and greater uncertainty with the pending merger." (6/14/2017)
