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.
Hyatt Hotels stands to gain from increased demand in the United States, which is supported by stronger economic metrics and the increasingly positive employment scenario in the country. Moreover, improved transient demand and greater pricing power should continue to drive Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR).
However, pressure on margins due to lower nominal growth in RevPAR, continued weakness in France exacerbated by the impact of renovations, geopolitical uncertainties in key operating regions, and negative currency translations remain potent headwinds.
Investors should note that the consensus estimate for H has been stable over the last 60 days. Moreover, H’s earnings have been positive over the past few quarters. In fact, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 85.36%. Meanwhile, revenues have outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in just one of the trailing four quarters.
