Hyatt Hotels Corporation is a global hotel company that operates, manages, and franchises luxury and upper-upscale hotels, generating revenue mainly from management fees and royalties. Hyatt shows high leverage (ND/EBITDA 4.67x) and demanding valuation (P/E 195.65), with declining revenues (-6.6%). The asset-light plan and positive momentum (21.64%) provide some support, but financial health and growth are the weak points.

OVERALL SCORE: 3.6/10

Context and risks

The rise in 10-year yields (5.17%) makes refinancing more expensive for a net debt of 4.67x EBITDA, a high leverage for the hotel sector. Slowing discretionary consumption in the US could pressure occupancy and rates, although the asset-light model partially mitigates the risk.
