Travel + Leisure
Travel + Leisure's revenue rose 4.1% to $4.0 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 13.8%, down from 19.0% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $523 million, up 36.5%. It paid out $450 million in dividends and buybacks, 86% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 5.4%.
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.

Valuation
Two ways to value Travel + Leisure 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 Travel + Leisure's 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 Travel + Leisure's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $523M, net cash of −$5.3B at December 31, 2025 and 67 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Travel + Leisure: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 4.1% 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 12%: 11% for a cyclical or higher-risk business (Hotels, Resorts & Cruise Lines), plus 1 point as a smaller company, worth $4.2B; 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 Travel + Leisure's 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.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Travel + Leisure's earnings per share of $3.70 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 17.8×, the middle of Travel + Leisure's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (the Consumer Discretionary median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 13%, 12% and 11%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
