  • ABNB and BKNG Outperform Hyatt Hotels in Valuation and Growth Metrics
    May 14, 2026, 4:13 AM EDT. In the Hotels, Resorts & Cruise Lines industry, Airbnb (ABNB) and Booking Holdings (BKNG) show lower valuation and higher revenue and operating income growth compared to Hyatt Hotels (H). ABNB and BKNG trade at price-to-operating-income ratios (P/OpInc) of 30.7x and 12.9x respectively, versus Hyatt's 32.7x, while delivering stronger latest twelve months (LTM) and three-year average growth. Hyatt's LTM operating income growth stands at -0.4%, lagging ABNB's 4.1% and BKNG's 21.3%. Market capitalizations also differ notably, with Hyatt at $15.8 billion, ABNB at $79.5 billion, and BKNG at $122.5 billion. Despite strong growth elsewhere, Hyatt's higher valuation and weaker recent income growth suggest investors may favor ABNB and BKNG stocks. Multi-factor analysis remains essential before investment decisions.
