Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund made the following comment about Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

"Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) – Global hotel franchisor and owner Hyatt was also a top performer in the quarter, continuing its positive performance from 2022. While we are likely in the later stages of the hotel cycle that may be facing more economic worries from here, Hyatt uniquely skews towards group properties that still have room to rebound further post-COVID. It is also much less skewed to more volatile owned property cash flow than its previous years as a public company. Hyatt benefited in the quarter from leaked news that the company is likely to sell more assets and to use proceeds to buy back shares and build balance sheet strength."
