Wyndham Hotels Boosts Dividend Amid Strong Development Pipeline

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts ( (WH) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On February 18, 2026, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts reported its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, alongside posting a new investor presentation and raising its quarterly dividend by 5% to $0.43 per share from the first quarter of 2026. The company delivered 4% global net room growth to 868,900 rooms, opened a record 72,000 rooms and signed an all-time high 870 development contracts in 2025, driving its development pipeline to a record 2,200 hotels and 259,000 rooms, with particular strength in midscale-and-above and extended-stay segments.

Despite a 3% decline in full-year global RevPAR in constant currency, driven by a 4% drop in the U.S. and softness in Asia Pacific, Wyndham achieved record ancillary revenues, 3% growth in adjusted EBITDA to $718 million on a comparable basis and 6% growth in adjusted diluted EPS to $4.58, even as reported EPS and net income fell sharply due to non-cash impairment and related charges. The group generated $433 million in adjusted free cash flow and returned $393 million to shareholders in 2025 through share buybacks and dividends, while continued international RevPAR resilience in EMEA and Latin America and a largely new-construction pipeline positioned the company for longer-term growth despite near-term RevPAR pressure in key U.S. markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (WH) stock is a Buy with a $91.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Wyndham Hotels & Resorts stock, see the WH Stock Forecast page.
