## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 29.0×** (5-yr avg 25.6×, 3-yr avg 26.5×). Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc. trades at 29.0× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 25.6×. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 14.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 4.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.1×.
- **Price / book: 12.2×**. The shares trade at 12.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 17.3×**. Enterprise value is 17.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.6%** (5-yr avg 5.0%). Free cash flow equals 5.6% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 5.0%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 29.2%**. 29.2% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 13.5%**. 13.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 41.2%**. 41.2% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 11.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 11.2%.
- **Return on assets: 4.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 1.8%** (3-yr 1.8%/yr, 5-yr 8.5%/yr). Revenue grew 1.8% over the last year, against 8.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -30.7%** (3-yr -13.9%/yr). Earnings per share fell 30.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -3.7%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -3.7% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 5.47**. Debt is 5.47 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.2×**. It would take 5.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 0.86** (quick 0.86). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.74**. A Z-score of 1.74 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
