Wyndham Posts 18 Percent EPS Gain in Q2
Wyndham Hotels Resorts (NYSE:WH), a global leader in hotel franchising with approximately 8,300 hotels across nearly 100 countries, reported its second quarter 2025 results on July 23, 2025. The company posted adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.33, surpassing analyst expectations of $1.16 (non-GAAP), while revenue (GAAP) reached $397 million, above the $386.64 million GAAP estimate. These results reflect growth in global system size and an expanding development pipeline, though U.S. RevPAR softened compared to the prior year. The period highlighted the ongoing stability of Wyndham’s asset-light model and strategic focus on higher-value segments, even as domestic demand trends presented new challenges.

Wyndham operates as a hotel franchisor. Rather than owning the real estate, it sells franchise rights to independent hotel owners, giving them access to Wyndham’s brands, reservation systems, and loyalty programs. This “asset-light” structure minimizes its capital investment while emphasizing predictable, recurring cash flows from franchise fees.
