Company snapshot

What this transaction means for investors
Park Hotels just finished a year that looks messy on the surface and far more nuanced underneath. Full-year adjusted EBITDA came in at $609 million, while comparable RevPAR for the fourth quarter ticked up to $182.49. Core hotels did even better, with RevPAR up 3.2% year over year and margins expanding meaningfully. The headline net loss was driven largely by $318 million of impairment tied to non-core assets, not collapsing fundamentals.
The company is actively shedding lower-quality properties and redeploying capital into higher-return renovations, including the Royal Palm overhaul that management expects to generate a 15% to 20% ROI. Meanwhile, liquidity sits around $2.0 billion, and management is guiding to 2026 adjusted FFO per share of $1.73 to $1.89.
For long-term investors, the real question is portfolio quality and balance sheet risk. This fund’s top holdings remain concentrated in lodging and diversified REITs like VRE, RLJ and INN, so trimming exposure here does not signal an exit from the theme. It looks more like risk calibration in a rate-sensitive sector.
