Hyatt Hotels ( (H) ) has issued an announcement.
On December 30, 2025, Hyatt Hotels Corporation completed the sale of the Playa Hotels & Resorts-owned real estate portfolio to Tortuga Resorts for approximately $2.0 billion, having previously disposed of one asset in September 2025, and retained a $200 million preferred equity stake plus potential earnout of up to $143 million. The transaction, which covers 14 all-inclusive beachfront properties across Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, converts Hyatt’s Playa holdings into an entirely asset-light structure while preserving long-term revenue streams through 50-year management agreements for 13 of the hotels, with sale proceeds earmarked to repay acquisition-related debt and support the group’s investment-grade leverage profile. Separately, the company cut its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA outlook for Playa by $10 million and guided Hyatt’s full-year Adjusted EBITDA to the low end of its prior range due to property closures and demand disruption in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa in October 2025, highlighting both operational resilience and near-term earnings pressure in a key Caribbean market.
The most recent analyst rating on (H) stock is a Buy with a $200.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hyatt Hotels stock, see the H Stock Forecast page.
