CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT, INC. vs Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc., two Hotels & Resorts stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Wyndham franchises economy and mid-scale hotels for fees and owns almost none of them, while Caesars owns and runs casinos under a stack of debt. Wyndham earns cleanly, a 13.4% net margin at 34.66 times earnings, and pays a 1.88% dividend. Caesars is posting losses this cycle, so no multiple applies, and it pays nothing. On cash the casino looks better, an 8.74% free cash yield versus Wyndham's 4.59%. Their caps nearly match at $6.6B and $6.2B, but Caesars carries far more leverage at 3.34 times equity. Fee income lines up against owned casinos, Wyndham steady on earnings and Caesars stretched on debt.
