Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Hyatt Hotels due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Hyatt Q2 Earnings & Revenues Miss Estimates, Fall Y/Y
Hyatt reported dismal second-quarter 2020 results, wherein earnings and revenues not only missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but also declined sharply on a year-over-year basis.
The company reported adjusted loss per share of $1.80, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $1.38. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported adjusted earnings per share of 76 cents.
Quarterly revenues of $250 million missed the consensus mark of $251 million by 0.2%. The top line also declined 80.6% from the year-ago quarter.
Operating Highlights
Adjusted EBITDA slumped 154.6% to $117 million (down 155.2% at constant currency). Moreover, adjusted EBITDA declined 274.6% in the second quarter against 31.6% growth in the year-ago quarter.

Revenues at Owned and Leased Hotels totaled $20 million, down 95.9% from the year-ago quarter number.

Outlook
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Hyatt Hotels has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.
