JPMorgan analyst Joseph Greff started Wyndham Hotels & Resorts with an Overweight rating and $66 price target. The analyst believes the current valuation represents "attractive, GARP-y value" for the company's asset-light, largely franchise growth. He sees "steady" 5%-6% EBITDA growth in 2019.

Reports Q1 revenue $304M, consensus $308.26M. Global RevPAR grew 1% in constant currency and ancillary revenues grew 8% compared to Q1 2023. "We're thrilled to announce another strong quarter of progress in our executions, openings, franchisee retention and net room growth around the world," said CEO Geoff Ballotti. "Increased interest from hotel owners in our brands has propelled our development pipeline to a record 243,000 rooms, marking an impressive 8% increase. Our strong balance sheet and cash flow generation capabilities provide significant opportunity to continue to enhance returns to our shareholders over both the short and long-term, as evidenced by our Board of Directors' approval of a $400M increase in our share repurchase authorization."
