Past performance does not guarantee future results. UQS Score is based on fundamental data and is not a buy/sell recommendation.
Does H pay dividends?
Yes — Hyatt Hotels Corporation pays a dividend.
Hyatt pays a regular dividend, which is relatively uncommon among asset-light hotel operators still expanding their brand portfolio. Income-focused investors should weigh this payout against the company's Weak Risk and Quality pillar ratings before relying on dividend continuity.
When does H report earnings?
Hyatt Hotels reports earnings on a quarterly cadence, typical for US-listed equities.
Hyatt's recent results have reflected the broader rebound in global travel, with growth in management and franchise fees as its asset-light strategy matures. However, profitability metrics remain under pressure relative to sector peers, consistent with its Weak Quality pillar rating.

How is the H UQS Score Calculated?
The UQS (Unified Quality Score) for Hyatt Hotels Corporation is calculated using a proprietary 6-pillar framework with 29 financial metrics. Each pillar evaluates a different dimension on a 0–100 scale, then combines into a single weighted score. Scoring thresholds are calibrated per sector. Momentum is an optional Pro toggle — without it, you get the 5-pillar / 25-metric core shown below.
Quality (25%) measures profitability and capital efficiency — ROIC, ROE, margins, GP/Assets, and FCF Yield.
Moat (25%) assesses Hyatt Hotels Corporation's competitive advantages across switching costs, network effects, cost advantages, intangible assets, and ecosystem scale.
Growth (20%) tracks revenue trajectory and earnings momentum, combining historical results with analyst forward estimates.
Risk (15%) is inversely scored — lower leverage and strong balance sheet health result in higher scores.
Valuation (15%) measures whether Hyatt Hotels Corporation is fairly priced using earnings yield, price-to-FCF, PEG ratio, and EV/EBITDA relative to sector peers.
