Hilton Worldwide's actual Q3 2024 RevPAR growth was below the company's earlier guidance, and the company lowered its full-year RevPAR expansion outlook. But HLT's long-term prospects are positive, with its substantial pipeline and strong brands. HLT currently trades at a significant premium to peers; a favorable valuation re-rating for the stock is unlikely in the near term considering its disappointing RevPAR performance and guidance.
Unit Corporation currently offers a roughly 15% dividend yield. Unit's dividend coverage is projected at slightly above 1.0x for 2H 2024. This is expected to decrease to 0.8x in 2025.
MMC's strong United States/Canada operations are contributing to its positive results.
Unit Corporation remains a "Strong Buy" due to its leaner operations and sustainable dividend strategy despite recent revenue declines and market challenges. UNTC's strategic divestitures and focus on core assets have bolstered cash reserves and reduced liabilities, enhancing long-term financial stability. The company maintains a high dividend yield of 15.4%, supported by positive cash flow and a debt-free balance sheet, appealing to income investors.
HLT's emphasis on an asset-light, fee-based business model bodes well. However, an uncertain macroeconomic environment is a concern.
