Hyatt's (H) Q3 Earnings to Suffer Despite Unit Expansion
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2019 numbers on Oct 30, after the market closes.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 81% and 5.1%, respectively. Notably, its earnings topped analysts’ expectations in each of the trailing 14 quarters.
Which Way are Estimates Headed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at 26 cents, indicating a 21.2% decline from the prior-year reported figure. The company’s earnings estimates have witnessed downward revisions over the past 30 days, reflecting analysts’ concern surrounding the stock.
For revenues, the consensus mark stands at $1.18 billion, suggesting almost 10% increase from the year-ago quarter.
Hyatt’s third-quarter revenues are likely to have been driven by continual unit growth strategy, robust loyalty program and increase in management, franchise, and other fees. Hyatt has been steadily investing in various businesses via acquisitions and divestment of low-margin units. Notably, the benefits of these initiatives might reflect in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Management, franchise and other fees is pegged at $152 million, implying 14.3% year-over-year growth. However, the estimated figure points to 3.8% decline from $158 million reported in the second quarter.
However, lower demand — particularly in the United States and China — is likely to have weighed on the company’s third-quarter earnings. Also, high expenses stemming from mergers and intense competition are expected to have weighed on margins and marred its bottom-line performance in the quarter to be reported.
