AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I approach Wyndham as an asset-light franchisor: about 8,300 hotels, 855,000 rooms, 25 brands, and a leading economy/midscale position. That scale and brand portfolio can be a modest moat, producing fee income with only 2,000 employees. Recent filings show quality: in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $375.0M, net income $102.0M, diluted EPS $1.36, a 27.2% margin. Net income rose from $87.0M in fiscal Q2 2025, the quarter ended 2025-06-30, despite revenue falling from $397.0M, which suggests cost control. But annual results are uneven: in fiscal year 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, net income was $193.0M and diluted EPS $2.50, down from $289.0M and $3.61 in fiscal year 2024, the year ended 2024-12-31, though fiscal year 2023, the year ended 2023-12-31, was also $289.0M. FairStock labels it a Slow Grower—Shrinking, with profit falling 5.7% a year over four years while revenue grew 3.5%. Financial health is mixed. TTM free cash flow is $323.0M, a 5.9% FCF yield, and Piotroski is 7/9. Yet debt/equity is 5.57 and Altman Z is 1.25, and ROCE is only 7.72%. At the 2026-10-13 close of $73.42, FairStock's P/E is 26.60, P/B 11.47, PEG 1.54, EV/EBITDA 16.11, and Graham Number $20.00, leaving a negative margin of safety. The dividend yields 2.53%, and the FairStock Score is 34/100. I see a decent franchise business at a demanding price, with leverage and weak annual growth as the chief risks.

In plain English: Wyndham franchises hotel brands such as Super 8, Days Inn, and Ramada, mainly serving everyday travelers around the world. The business earns good profits and produces cash, but it carries a lot of debt and annual profits have dropped from a few years ago. At the recent price of $73.42, the stock looks expensive compared with its profits and the value of its assets.
