[TradeSmith Daily]( Buy This, Not That: Experience-Enabling Stocks
With Thanksgiving on Thursday, I know that the super-organized travelers already have their outfits and essentials neatly packed and ready to go, while the procrastinators will be jamming things into their suitcases minutes before they need to leave. Iâm not here to judge your suitcase packing timeliness. But what I am thinking about is the travel aspect of many peopleâs plans over the next few days. In 2019 and 2021, the Sunday after Thanksgiving was the busiest travel day of the year for airlines, according to TSA (Transportation Security Administration) data. And whether people are traveling to a relativeâs home, a friendâs house, or a favorite vacation spot with their family, what that TSA data is telling me is that people are still craving experiences. To be with people. To share a meal. To reminisce over old times and to make new memories. In a recent Airbnb Inc. (ABNB) investors call, CEO Brian Chesky captured the essence of everything I just mentioned when sharing why his company recently had a strong quarter that exceeded expectations: âBecause many people are now working from home, the mall is now Amazon, the movie theater is now Netflix, people still want to get out of the house. They still want to have meaningful experiences.â In this edition of Buy This, Not That, weâre going to look at snapshots of a company that facilitates experiences that is considered a âbuyâ and one that you should avoid.

Ryman Hospitality Properties Inc. (RHP) is a resort, hotel, and media company that owns the Grand Ole Opry brand and five of the top 10 largest non-gaming convention center hotels, which operate under the Gaylord Hotels brand. In terms of having an experience, you donât have to look much further than the Grand Ole Opry. Itâs been called the âhome of American musicâ and âcountryâs most famous stage,â and hundreds of thousands of people make a trip to see a live show each year.

For fans of Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, and Keith Urban, watching these artists live with all of the history and awe that the Grand Ole Opry House carries is an experience they are never going to forget... and they may even look to make it part of a new yearly vacation tradition. And as mentioned earlier, Ryman offers plenty more than just the Grand Ole Opry. It has an 85-acre resort located in Aurora, Colorado, that houses a $25 million indoor and outdoor water park, eight restaurants, and a luxury spa.

If youâre a fan of warmer weather, you can head to Rymanâs Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, which is styled as a turn-of-the-century Florida mansion. It has 13 food and beverage outlets and a luxury spa, and itâs just five minutes from the front gate of Walt Disney World.

RHP offers plenty of experience-making potential. As an investment opportunity, the company says it has âpositive momentumâ and restarted its dividend payouts in October for the first time since they were suspended in April 2020. RHP is considered to be a high-risk investment with a Volatility Quotient (VQ) of 42.47%, but itâs also in our Green Zone, and the fact that Ryman Hospitality Properties was able to restart its dividend payout is a positive sign that the company feels it will be generating enough revenue in the immediate term to continue that payout.

Red Zone 28.43% Medium Yes 0.78%
Under the Choice Hotels umbrella are companies with mainstream name recognition, such as Quality Inn, Sleep Inn, and Econo Lodge. Choice Hotelâs February 2022 investor presentation provides a succinct rundown of its offerings and business model:
One potential advantage of the companyâs business model is that it limits overhead costs by selling its name, logo, and systems to a franchisee who pays for the costs of maintaining and operating the property on their own. And while it does offer more upscale accommodations, its lodgings generally give off the sense of being places travelers stay for convenience and cost-efficiency rather than for a superlative experience. Thatâs not a bad thing, and Choice Hotels is benefiting from increased traveling. Its revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was 13% higher than it was in the second quarter of 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the hospitality industry. But besides the fact that itâs in our Red Zone, which indicates that the stock is unhealthy, Choice Hotels just feels like a less exciting story in terms of aiding travel experiences than Ryman Hospitality. Rymanâs lodgings are an experience all their own. For instance, if you were staying at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, how could you not want to snap a pic of a ship thatâs in the atrium of your hotel?

In comparison, there arenât many exciting photo ops in the lobby of an Econo Lodge. Again, Choice Hotels can profit from pent-up travel demand, and with a VQ of 28.43% it is considered less risky of an investment than RHP. But itâs a stock to avoid since itâs in our Red Zone, and in terms of a company that can aid or even create memorable experiences, Ryman Hospitality wins the battle of Buy This, Not That. Iâll talk to you soon. Enjoy your Monday, [Keith Kaplan]Keith Kaplan
