Wyndham Q2 Earnings Beat, Raises 2026 Outlook on Strong U.S. Demand
WH is trading near its 52-week low of $69.21 (11% above the low).
Summary
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts delivered a strong Q2, with adjusted EPS of $1.48 beating the $1.41 consensus and adjusted EBITDA of $212M topping estimates. Revenue missed at $375M vs. $402M expected, but the miss was driven by non-recurring items like the absence of a prior-year franchisee conference and fee deferrals, not operational weakness. U.S. RevPAR grew 2% on improved occupancy and rates, while international RevPAR fell 6% on geopolitical and China pricing pressures. Management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $4.71-$4.83 from $4.62-$4.80 and lifted the global RevPAR growth forecast to 0%-1% from a prior range that included a decline. The results follow a recent Dow Jones report that first disclosed the new EPS guidance range, but this release adds the quarterly beat, revenue details, and regional performance breakdown. The stock trades at 15x forward earnings, below its recent 16x multiple, with a consensus price target of $100 implying 32% upside.
