    Wyndham Hotels and Resorts (WH) just gave investors a fresh catalyst by unveiling a trio of expansion moves across Miami Beach, Corfu, and Kochi that pushed the stock up about 4%.

    See our latest analysis for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.

    These expansion headlines arrive after a choppy stretch for Wyndham, with a roughly 12% 1 month share price return but a weaker year to date share price return and a still respectable 5 year total shareholder return that suggests longer term momentum is intact.

    If this kind of global deal making has your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is shaping up among fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

    With shares still nearly 18 percent below analyst targets and trading at a sizable intrinsic value discount, investors face a key question: Is Wyndham quietly undervalued here, or is the market already baking in the next leg of growth?

    Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 24.9% Undervalued

    According to Zwfis, the narrative fair value of $105.80 sits well above Wyndham Hotels & Resorts last close at $79.48, framing a sizable upside gap.

    Wyndham is different because they do not actually own any real property at all. Instead they make all of their revenue from fees and royalties coming from their franchisees. This allows them to have good reserves of cash and be available to reward investors whether by share repurchases, dividends or even strategic acquisitions like with what they did with La Quinta a couple of years ago. Because of this they also have a very large amount of debt; however, WH does indeed want to operate with a decent amount of debt as they view it as a tool to help them grow.

    Read the complete narrative.

    Curious how a fee driven, asset light giant, powered by expanding margins, accelerating earnings and a bold growth rate, justifies that punchy valuation gap? Click in.

    Result: Fair Value of $105.80 (UNDERVALUED)

    However, investors still need to weigh Wyndham’s heavy leverage and reliance on continued franchise growth. Weaker travel demand or financing strains could quickly challenge the bull case.
