Analysis · H · Real Estate & Construction
A solid second quarter saw system-wide RevPAR climb 5.9% and net income reach $110 million, reversing a prior-year loss. The company set full-year net income guidance of $250–$335 million, a concrete profitability target that underscores confidence in sustained travel demand. The asset-light model continues to deliver: gross fees rose 7.8% and the development pipeline hit a record ~154,000 rooms. While all-inclusive net package RevPAR dipped 1.2% on softer Mexico demand, the core fee business absorbed the headwind. A $1.5 billion buyback authorization and $325–$375 million in planned capital returns reinforce management's commitment to shareholders.
