Hyatt Hotels (H) Q2 Earnings Top, Revenues in Line

Read MoreHide Full Article

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H - Free Report) is a leading global hospitality company and operates under a number of leading brands. The company has a significant presence in major hospitality markets across the world. The company has an industry-leading guest loyalty program — Hyatt Gold Passport program — which serves millions of members worldwide.

Improved transient demand and greater pricing power have been driving RevPAR over the past few quarters. However, lingering global uncertainty in economies like Europe, Brazil and China has been limiting revenue growth. Additionally, despite the weakening of the U.S. dollar in 2016, negative currency translation has been marring the company’s revenues and profits.

Investors should note that the consensus estimate for H has been moving slightly downwards over the last 60 days. Meanwhile, H’s earnings have been mixed over the past few quarters. Notably, the company’s earnings lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters, with an average miss of 3.57%. Meanwhile, revenues have outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters.
