Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (NYSE:PK) is included among the 10 Best Dividend Stocks Yielding at Least 7% According to Hedge Funds.

On April 7, Barclays downgraded Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (NYSE:PK) to Equal Weight from Overweight. It also lowered the price target on the stock to $9 from $13. The firm pointed to the stock’s relative valuation as the main reason for the downgrade. It also said it no longer expects Park to complete its non-core asset sale program during 2026. In its view, the shares offer limited upside in the near to medium term.

During the Q4 2025 earnings call, CFO and COO Sean Dell’Orto outlined the company’s outlook for 2026. Full-year RevPAR growth is expected to range from flat to an increase of up to 2%. Expense growth is projected to stay in the low single digits. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to come in between $580 million and $610 million. Adjusted FFO per share is guided to a range of $1.73 to $1.89.

Management said the guidance does not include any meaningful upside from World Cup-related demand at the Royal Palm property. It also excludes the impact of any additional non-core asset sales in 2026. The outlook assumes the refinancing of $1.4 billion in debt at a blended interest rate of 5.5%.
