Hyatt Hotels ( (H) ) has provided an announcement.
On April 30, 2026, Hyatt reported first quarter 2026 results showing 5.4% growth in comparable system-wide RevPAR and 7.4% growth in all-inclusive Net Package RevPAR versus a year earlier, alongside 5.0% net rooms growth and record pipeline of about 151,000 rooms. Net income attributable to Hyatt was $38 million, adjusted EBITDA rose 2.1% year on year, and the company repurchased $135 million of stock, while also revising its Adjusted EBITDA definition to exclude unconsolidated ventures.
Operationally, luxury led RevPAR gains with leisure travel strongest, though Middle East conflict and security concerns in Mexico, as well as storm-related closures in Jamaica, weighed on some segments. Hyatt opened nearly 4,000 rooms including high-profile Andaz properties in Lisbon and Shanghai and its first branded hotel in Brooklyn, ended March 31 with $4.3 billion of debt and $2.2 billion in liquidity, and declared a second-quarter 2026 dividend of $0.15 per share.
For full year 2026, Hyatt projected 2% to 4% RevPAR growth, 6% to 7% net rooms growth, and net income of $255 million to $350 million, with adjusted EBITDA expected to rise 13% to 18% versus 2025 after portfolio adjustments. The company also guided to higher adjusted free cash flow, lower capital expenditures, and capital returns of $325 million to $375 million, underscoring its confidence in sustained growth and continued shareholder payouts.
The most recent analyst rating on (H) stock is a Hold with a $175.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hyatt Hotels stock, see the H Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on H Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, H is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by improving fundamentals (strong revenue recovery and better 2025 free cash flow) and a constructive 2026 outlook from management (fee, EBITDA, and free-cash-flow growth plus capital returns). Technicals are supportive with price above key moving averages. The main offset is valuation opacity from a negative P/E and low dividend yield, alongside notable volatility in recent margins and balance sheet comparability.
