Park Hotels & Resorts ( (PK) ) has provided an announcement.

On February 12, 2026, Park Hotels & Resorts’ board appointed long-time finance chief Sean M. Dell’Orto as chief operating officer, expanding his remit while raising his base salary and incentive targets, a move that consolidates leadership as the company intensifies portfolio repositioning and capital deployment. The compensation committee simultaneously overhauled executive long- and short-term incentive plans effective 2026, adding a RevPAR-based performance metric alongside relative total shareholder return, shifting the mix between performance-based and time-based equity, and materially increasing LTIP and bonus targets for the CEO and executive vice presidents, signaling a stronger emphasis on growth, operating performance and shareholder returns despite recent net losses driven by impairments on Non-Core hotels.

Park also reported that in the fourth quarter and full year 2025 it posted adjusted EBITDA of $152 million and $609 million, respectively, while a series of impairment charges tied to Non-Core assets drove net losses of $204 million for the quarter and $277 million for the year, even as Core RevPAR rose and select flagship properties such as Hilton Hawaiian Village and the Bonnet Creek complex delivered robust growth. Over 2025 and into early 2026, the company spent nearly $300 million on renovations, exited or surrendered six Non-Core hotels for more than $132 million in proceeds, expanded and extended its revolving and term loan facilities, and highlighted strong return profiles at recently renovated assets, positioning its streamlined Core portfolio to benefit from expected demand tied to major upcoming events and constrained new supply, while acknowledging macro and geopolitical risks that could temper travel visibility.

The most recent analyst rating on (PK) stock is a Hold with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Park Hotels & Resorts stock, see the PK Stock Forecast page.
