Park Hotels & Resorts focuses on high-end U.S. hotels, prioritizing profitability by divesting non-core assets and concentrating on luxury urban and resort markets. Despite post-pandemic recovery, revenue and operating metrics have stagnated, while leverage remains high and dividend payouts exceed sustainable funds from operations. The REIT's strategy combines renovations, selective buybacks, and a high dividend, but fundamentals have deteriorated, making the yield risky and unsustainable long-term.

Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (NYSE:PK ) Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call August 1, 2025 11:00 AM ET Company Participants Ian C. Weissman - Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy Sean M.
Although the revenue and EPS for Park Hotels & Resorts (PK) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended June 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Park Hotels & Resorts (PK) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.64 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.57 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.65 per share a year ago.
REITs had another month of recovery in June (+2.56% average total return), but despite back-to-back gains remain in negative territory YTD (-5.65%). Micro cap REITs (+7.19%) outperformed for the first time this year in June, while small caps (+2.99%), mid caps (+1.80%) and large caps (+0.03%) saw smaller gains. 63.87% of REIT securities had a positive total return in June.
Publicly listed US equity REITs ended June at a median 19.1% discount to their consensus NAV per share estimates, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data. The hotel sector traded at the largest median discount to NAV at 35.5%, down from a 35.7% median discount to NAV as of May 30. Healthcare REITs continued to trade at the highest median premium, 19.3%, which is about 1.4 percentage points down from the 20.6% median premium to NAV as of May 30.
Park Hotels & Resorts Inc.'s common stock has shed over 30% in market value year-over-year. As a consequence, the REIT has a yield of 13%+ and a P/FFO ratio, which is materially lower than some of its peers. Softer growth is to be expected at this stage of the economic cycle, but PK REIT's core remains resilient, especially if we adjust its P&L for non-core items.
