Wyndham Beats on Q3 EPS, Lifts 2026 Outlook and Adds $400M to Buyback
WH sits 20% above its 52-week low of $66.87.
Summary
Wyndham beat on both lines: Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.43 versus $1.32 consensus and adjusted EBITDA of $207M versus $197.87M expected. U.S. RevPAR rose 6% year-over-year on better occupancy and rates, with broad-based regional gains, and global system growth of 4% excluding Revo plus a 6% lift in royalties and franchise fees supported the quarter. Management raised full-year adjusted EPS to $4.84-$4.92 from $4.71-$4.83, adjusted net income to $363-$369M and adjusted EBITDA to $740-$745M, and added $400M to the buyback authorization. The raise and capital return are the actionable pieces — they reset the earnings floor higher and put a bigger bid under the share count. This follows the 8-K filed minutes earlier with the same Q3 figures and the raised EBITDA outlook.
