Hyatt Q3 Earnings & Revenues Miss Estimates, RevPAR Rise Y/Y

By Zacks Equity Research | November 06, 2025, 11:36 AM

Hyatt Hotels Corporation H reported third-quarter 2025 results, with adjusted earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. On a year-over-year basis, the top line grew, while the bottom line tumbled.
    
During the quarter, the company emphasized its ongoing transition toward a brand-led structure, with continued efforts to enhance guest experiences, deepen customer loyalty through the World of Hyatt program and expand into high-growth markets and segments. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter and beyond, Hyatt believes its affluent customer base, strong development pipeline and rapidly growing loyalty platform will likely support growth and long-term shareholder value creation.

Following the results, the company’s shares moved up 2.9% during today’s pre-market trading session.

Revenues of $1.78 billion missed the consensus mark of $1.83 billion. However, the top line increased 9.6% year over year.

During the quarter, gross fees increased 5.9% year over year to $283 million, with base management fees rising 10%, incentive management fees up 2%, and franchise and other fees advancing 4% on a year-over-year basis.

H’s Zacks Rank & Recent Consumer Discretionary Releases

Hyatt currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. NCLH reported third-quarter 2025 results, with earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but revenues missing the same.

Norwegian Cruise Line’s results benefited from robust demand across all three brands and strong execution both onboard and shoreside. Its diversified portfolio attracted a wide range of travelers, supporting record revenues and occupancy levels. In fourth-quarter 2025, Norwegian Cruise Line is expected to gain from its strategic focus on Caribbean itineraries, which are drawing more families. Load factors are projected to exceed 2024 levels as momentum continues into 2026. Additionally, strong luxury demand for Oceania and Regent brands will further support growth.

Marriott International, Inc. MAR reported third-quarter 2025 results, with adjusted earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Its earnings beat the estimate for the fourth straight quarter. Both metrics increased on a year-over-year basis.

Marriott delivered strong performance in the quarter, supported by solid room growth, profit gains and continued development momentum. The Asia Pacific region performed well, driven by healthy travel demand in Japan, Australia and Vietnam. The luxury segment continued to outperform, supported by strong rates and sustained demand. With consistent execution and growing global demand, Marriott remains on track to achieve healthy net rooms growth of 5% for 2025 and maintain mid-single-digit expansion over the next few years.

Hasbro, Inc. HAS reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top line increased year over year, while the bottom line declined from the prior-year quarter’s figure. The downside was mainly due to weaker contributions from the Consumer Products segment.
 
Nonetheless, Hasbro raised its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. The update was supported by strong performance in the Wizards segment, along with steady contributions from the games portfolio, licensing partnerships and execution of the “Playing to Win” strategy. Despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, Hasbro expects cost efficiency measures and business diversification to support its growth plans for 2025 and beyond.
