Wyndham Hotels & Resorts reported its Q3 2025 financial results, showing steady growth across operations and financial metrics. Global system-wide rooms increased 4% year-on-year to 855,400, including 503,400 in the U.S. and 352,000 internationally, while the company awarded 204 new development contracts, up 24% from Q3 2024. The global development pipeline grew 4% to 257,000 rooms, with roughly 70% in midscale and above segments and 58% internationally.
Ancillary revenues rose 18% compared to the same period last year. Net income climbed 3% to $105 million, and adjusted net income reached $112 million, with diluted EPS increasing 5% to $1.36 and adjusted diluted EPS up 5% to $1.46. Adjusted EBITDA grew 2% to $213 million, while global RevPAR declined 5% in constant currency, mainly due to softer results in Asia Pacific and Latin America, partially offset by gains in EMEA and Canada.
Wyndham generated $86 million in net cash from operating activities and $97 million in free cash flow, ending the quarter with $70 million in cash and total liquidity of about $540 million, maintaining a net debt leverage ratio of 3.5x. In October 2025, the company refinanced its $750 million revolving credit facility, extending maturity to 2030, increasing capacity to $1 billion, and reducing borrowing costs by 35 basis points. Shareholder returns included the repurchase of 830,000 shares for $70 million in Q3 and year-to-date buybacks of 2.5 million shares for $223 million, alongside $31 million in dividends.
Looking ahead, Wyndham expects full-year global room growth of 4–4.6%, global RevPAR change of -3% to -2%, fee-related revenues of $1.43–$1.45 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $715–$725 million, adjusted net income of $347–$358 million, and adjusted diluted EPS of $4.48–$4.62, while maintaining a focus on portfolio expansion, strengthening its development pipeline, and delivering consistent shareholder value amid evolving industry conditions.

Alaska Air Group reported strong financial results for the third quarter of 2025, posting a GAAP net income of $73 million and adjusted earnings per share of $1.05. The airline’s growth is being fueled by new nonstop routes from Seattle to London and Reykjavik, set to launch in May 2026, and the introduction of the Atmos Rewards loyalty program, which exceeded premium credit card sign-up expectations.
In a major technological upgrade, Alaska Air is installing Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi across its fleet, offering complimentary access to Atmos Rewards members. The company is also progressing with the integration of Hawaiian Airlines and advancing its Alaska Accelerate strategy, aiming for significant growth and profitability by 2027.
Analysts have assigned a Hold rating on ALK stock with a $49.00 price target, citing strong financial recovery but noting bearish technical indicators and increased leverage as potential risks.
