Hyatt Hotels ( (H) ) has issued an update.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on February 12, 2026, showing system-wide hotels RevPAR growth of 4.0% in the quarter and 2.9% for the year, and particularly strong 8.6% full-year Net Package RevPAR growth at all-inclusive resorts. Full-year net rooms growth reached 7.3%, the pipeline of executed management and franchise contracts expanded to about 148,000 rooms, and Adjusted EBITDA rose 5.8% to $1,159 million despite reported net losses of $20 million in the quarter and $52 million for 2025.
The company accelerated its asset-light strategy by selling the Alua Portfolio and completing the Playa Real Estate Transaction, using proceeds to repay and terminate a $1.7 billion term loan while securing long-term management agreements on the sold properties. Hyatt ended 2025 with $4.3 billion in total debt, $2.3 billion in liquidity, continued share repurchases totaling $293 million for the year, and a declared first-quarter 2026 dividend, while providing 2026 guidance that points to modest RevPAR and rooms growth, higher gross fees, and a sharp swing to positive net income alongside a revised Adjusted EBITDA definition that excludes unconsolidated ventures’ contribution.
Operationally, Hyatt’s fourth quarter was driven by strength in luxury and upper-upscale hotels, robust leisure and group demand, and rising management fees, although franchise fees were pressured by the Playa acquisition structure and softer U.S. select-service demand. The company opened 8,253 rooms in the quarter, including flagship properties such as Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol and Andaz One Bangkok, and grew its development pipeline by 7% in 2025, with strong signings in the U.S., Greater China, and India and rapid expansion of its Hyatt Studios extended-stay brand.
The most recent analyst rating on (H) stock is a Buy with a $179.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hyatt Hotels stock, see the H Stock Forecast page.
