Hyatt Hotels Corp 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 hotels for fees and owns barely any real estate, while Hyatt owns and operates a larger share of its rooms and is having a rough earnings year. Wyndham earns cleanly at a 13.4% net margin and 34.66 times earnings; Hyatt sits near breakeven with no multiple. Wyndham converts far more to free cash, 4.59% against Hyatt's 0.59%, and pays a healthier 1.88% dividend versus 0.08%. Hyatt is nearly three times larger at $19.2B against $6.6B and carries more debt at 1.03 times equity. The asset-light fee model reads cleaner right now than Hyatt's owned-and-operated mix.
