Leading hotelier, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation WYN is a provider of various hospitality services to individual and business customers through its premier portfolio of global brands. The company has a significant presence in major hospitality markets in the United States and across the world.
Moreover, the company has an industry-leading guest loyalty program – Wyndham Rewards – which helps members to earn rewards and redeem points on their hotel stays. Also, in order to survive in the competitive environment, Wyndham is devising new ways to increase occupancy at its hotels.
However, lingering global uncertainty in economies like Europe, Brazil and China has been limiting revenue growth. Additionally, despite the weakening of the U.S. dollar in 2016, negative currency translation has been marring the company’s revenues and profits.
Investors should note that the consensus estimate for WYN has been moving slightly downwards over the last 60 days. Meanwhile, WYN’s earnings have been mostly strong over the past few quarters. In fact, the company posted positive earnings surprises in three of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 1.93%. Revenues too outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters.
