Summary
Choice Hotels International reported robust first-quarter 2026 results, achieving a record $340.6 million in total revenues and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.07. The company demonstrated strong operational momentum with global net room growth of 1.7% year-over-year, driven by a 2.5% increase in extended-stay, midscale, and upscale brands.
