Wyndham Cuts 2025 Outlook as RevPAR Continues to Fall

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has cut its earnings outlook for 2025 for the second time this year, as softer travel demand and weaker quarterly results weigh on performance.

The hotel giant now expects adjusted earnings of $715–$725 million, about 2 percent lower than its July estimate.

The downgrade follows a 5 percent drop in Q3 revenue, which totaled $382 million.

While sales slipped, Wyndham managed to lift earnings per share by 5 percent to $1.36, supported by tighter cost controls and share repurchases.

Net income edged up to $105 million, while ancillary revenues, including reservation and technology fees, surged 18 percent.

Wyndham’s RevPAR is projected to decline 2–3 percent for the year, reflecting softer room demand. Yet, its global footprint continues to grow, expanding 4 percent, with a record pipeline of 257,000 rooms.

Following the report, Wyndham’s shares slipped nearly 5 percent in after-hours trading as markets reacted to the reduced guidance.

Executives, however, stressed that the company’s diverse brand portfolio and steady development pipeline keep it well-positioned for a rebound beyond 2025.

On the same day, Southwest Airlines reported strong Q3 2025 financial results, achieving a record operating revenue of $6.9 billion and a profit of $54 million.
