Park Hotels & Resorts
Park Hotels & Resorts' revenue fell 2.2% to $2.5 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was −1.3%, down from 15.0% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $102 million, down 49.5%. It paid out $325 million in dividends and buybacks, 319% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 4.8%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
Charts show fiscal years, from the 10-K filings.
Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2016 to 2024, earnings per share grew 5.3% a year and net income 6.0% a year, as new shares raised the share count by 6% and diluted each share's earnings. Park Hotels & Resorts then lost money in fiscal 2025.

Valuation
Two ways to value Park Hotels & Resorts yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Park Hotels & Resorts' 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Park Hotels & Resorts' fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $102M, net cash of −$3.6B at December 31, 2025 and 199 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Park Hotels & Resorts: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 0.5% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 11%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Hotel & Resort REITs), plus 1 point as a smaller company, worth $3.3B, plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2025); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target. A negative value means Park Hotels & Resorts' net debt is larger than what that scenario's cash flows are worth today.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
The P/E method needs positive earnings, and Park Hotels & Resorts' latest diluted earnings per share were negative or zero.
