Baird Maintains Neutral on Hyatt Hotels, Raises Price Target to $148

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the entirety of Playa's owned real estate portfolio, acquired from Playa on June 17, 2025, for $2.0 billion to Tortuga Resorts ("Tortuga"), a joint venture between an affiliate of KSL Capital Partners, LLC and Rodina. Hyatt can achieve up to an additional $143 million earnout if certain operating thresholds are met. The real estate transaction is expected to close before the end of 2025 and is subject to regulatory approval in Mexico and other customary closing conditions.
The real estate portfolio includes 15 all-inclusive resort assets located across Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. Concurrent with the real estate sale, Hyatt and Tortuga will enter into 50-year management agreements for 13 of the 15 properties, with terms consistent with Hyatt's existing all-inclusive management fee structure, while the remaining two properties are under separate contractual arrangements. Hyatt will retain $200 million of preferred equity in connection with the real estate transaction.
Following the sale of the real estate portfolio, Hyatt's net purchase price for Playa's asset-light management business is approximately $555 million, net of gross proceeds from asset sales. Hyatt expects to earn $60 to $65 million of stabilized Adjusted EBITDA in 2027, inclusive of earnings from Unlimited Vacation Club and ALG Vacations, representing an implied multiple of 8.5x – 9.5x. The implied multiple would be further improved to the extent the earnout conditions are met.
Upon completion of the real estate sale, Hyatt is required to use the proceeds to repay the delayed draw term loan used to fund a portion of the Playa acquisition and expects pro forma net leverage to be consistent with thresholds necessary to maintain its investment-grade credit profile.

</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: Hyatt Hotels's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average at 1.33, reflecting a lower dependency on debt financing and a more conservative financial approach.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Forecasting The Future: 15 Analyst Projections For Hyatt Hotels

Baird analyst Michael Bellisario maintains Hyatt Hotels (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) with a Neutral and raises the price target from $142 to $146.

Hyatt Hotels Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45693303/hyatt-announces-unscripted-by-hyatt-a-new-upscale-collection-brand-as-part-of-brand-led-evolution-" rel="noreferrer noopener">unveiled Unscripted by Hyatt</a> on Friday, a new brand targeting upscale travelers who value locally rooted, authentic experiences. The collection-style model allows each property to retain its distinct identity while aligning with Hyatt&#8217;s signature quality and service.
With over 40 hotels in discussions, Unscripted focuses on conversions and adaptive reuse, offering independent owners access to Hyatt&#8217;s global platform and its 56 million–member World of Hyatt program. Dan Hansen, head of Americas development, said the brand gives owners flexibility without sacrificing guest expectations.
The launch supports Hyatt&#8217;s broader strategy to grow across five distinct brand portfolios. Its Lifestyle segment grew 11% year-over-year in Q1 2025, adding 30+ hotels and planning openings in Miami, Shanghai, Lisbon, and Turks &amp; Caicos under the Thompson and Andaz brands.

Hyatt&#8217;s Luxury portfolio rose 5% in the same period, with key projects in Los Cabos, Kuala Lumpur, and Mayakoba. Demand for branded residences is also rising, with over 50 developments open or underway.
The rapid expansion across Essentials, Lifestyle, and Luxury segments is translating to meaningful financial upside for Hyatt. A 10.5% increase in net rooms as of Q1 2025 suggests growing revenue streams and broader market penetration.
The push into branded residences adds a high-margin, capital-light income stream. Additionally, loyalty program growth strengthens customer retention and reduces marketing costs, ultimately improving EBITDA margins.
The diversification of Hyatt&#8217;s brand offerings also insulates it from overreliance on any single customer segment, offering resilience amid shifting travel trends.
In early May, Hyatt reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45144354/whats-going-on-with-hyatt-hotels-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter</a> results, beating expectations with $1.72B in revenue and 46 cents EPS. RevPAR rose 5.7%, net rooms grew 10.5%, and adjusted EBITDA hit $273M. The company reaffirmed its 2025 outlook, signaling steady growth.

In a turbulent first half of 2025 for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel">global travel sector</a>, Goldman Sachs sees an edge for investors: &#8220;premiumization.&#8221;
From lie-flat airline seats to luxury cruise cabins and high-end hotel brands, premium travel products have shown striking resilience to macroeconomic pressures—and companies leaning into this segment are emerging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/travel-stocks">as the strongest performers.</a>
Premium travel is "increasingly driven by higher-income consumers less impacted by short-term macro volatility," said Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O'Brien.
According to O'Brien, stocks most exposed to "premiumization" include Buy-rated Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines Holdings, Inc.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Airlines: Premium Demand Leads</h3>
In a note shared Thursday, O'Brien highlighted that premium cabins outperformed economy in the first quarter across all major U.S. airlines.
Delta Air Lines posted a 6.8% year-over-year increase in premium revenue in the first quarter, while its main cabin revenue declined 1.2%. United Airlines reported international Polaris cabin revenue up 8% and Premium Plus up 5%.
Alaska Air said premium accounted for 34% of total revenue, with Hawaiian routes contributing a 17% jump in high-end bookings.
Airlines like JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) echoed similar trends, with premium class outperforming main cabin across both domestic and international routes.
This shift isn't just cyclical. Airlines have introduced more segmented products—from extra legroom economy to exclusive suites—making premium more accessible while preserving upsell potential. Delta's domestic first-class load factor jumped to 75%, from just 12% fifteen years ago.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hotels: Luxury RevPAR Resilience</h3>
In lodging, luxury continues to drive performance.
Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) said its luxury tier had the strongest occupancy and average daily rate (ADR) growth globally in the first quarter, while Hyatt Hotels Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) saw luxury RevPAR (revenue per available room) rise over 8%.
By contrast, Choice Hotels International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHH#NYSE">CHH</a>) and Wyndham Hotels &amp; Resorts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WH#NYSE">WH</a>), both focused on economy and midscale properties, slashed their 2025 outlooks by up to 300 basis points.
Premium hotel supply remains constrained due to higher construction costs and longer breakeven timelines, which support pricing power and margin sustainability. Growth in luxury RevPAR has led all chain scales for four straight quarters, with the first quarter of 2025 showing 7.5% year-over-year growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cruise Lines: Premium Pricing Power</h3>
The cruise sector is also sailing toward premium. Goldman notes that Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruises have priced their newest ships at up to 60% premiums over older vessels.
For instance, Royal&#8217;s Icon of the Seas commands a 43% price premium, while NCLH's Norwegian Aqua leads with a 59% markup.
Premium cruise offerings such as "The Haven" suites on Norwegian ships continue to sell out early and achieve top customer satisfaction scores. RCL also noted that ships built after the Oasis class generate 2x the EBITDA of older ships.

Premium Travel Demand Gives Airlines, Hotels And Cruises An Edge in 2025: Goldman Sachs

Shares of hotel companies are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July. The industry may also be experiencing a rise due to a surge in travel during Memorial Day weekend.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation ("Hyatt" or the "Company") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>), a leading global hospitalitycompany, announced today that HI Holdings Playa B.V., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hyatt ("Buyer"), has extended the offering period of its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Playa Hotels &amp; Resorts N.V. ("Playa") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLYA#NASDAQ">PLYA</a>) for $13.50 per share in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The offer is being made pursuant to the previously announced purchase agreement, dated February 9, 2025 (the "Purchase Agreement"), among Hyatt, Buyer and Playa.
The tender offer is now scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 9, 2025, unless the tender offer is further extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The tender offer will continue to be extended until all conditions are satisfied or waived, or until the tender offer is terminated, in either case pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and as described in the Schedule TO filed by Hyatt and Buyer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2025, as amended and supplemented.

Hyatt Extends Tender Offer Period For Playa Hotels & Resorts At $13.50/Shr, New Expiration Set For June 9

Bank of America Securities offered a cross-sector analysis of the leisure consumer space on Thursday, outlining recent performance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trends across several key segments.</a>
The firm notes that while trends vary by category, segments like cruises and premium travel continue to show steady performance, whereas more value-focused areas are facing weakness.
In the lodging sector, BofA notes that aggregated credit and debit card data for April spending showed a 3% year-over-year decline, in line with March figures.
The firm also sees weakness in its Las Vegas room rate survey, with forward rates down 11%.

Analysts suggest that BofA's card data skews toward leisure spending and aligns with commentary from Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>), and Marriott International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>), all of which noted softer low-end RevPAR trends.
In the timeshare segment, performance remains steady despite broader uncertainty.
On the ski front, Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) reported a 3% drop in ski visits this season, underperforming the overall industry, which was up 2%. The lag may be linked to softer non-pass lift ticket sales, which are typically booked during the season and carry a higher price.
Looking ahead to next season, while the number of passes sold is down, total dollars collected are up through April 20. BofA adds that Memorial Day is typically a key trigger for pass sales, but an uptick in web traffic has yet to materialize.
For cruise, BofA notes that based on aggregated monthly debit and credit card data, spending has slowed from the strong double-digit growth seen late last year to flat year-over-year in April.
While some of this decline may be attributed to the timing of Easter, economic uncertainty over the past few months has also likely played a role.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) specifically flagged a slowdown in booking activity, especially for longer European sailings. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) kept its full-year 2025 net yield guidance unchanged, breaking from the usual pattern of upward revisions.
Overall, cruise operators remain well booked for 2025 and still have time to secure additional bookings for 2026 as the year progresses, BofA notes.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Hyatt Hotels has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Hyatt Hotels's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Hyatt Hotels's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.29%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
