downgrade

Equal Weight

Reason

Morgan Stanley lowered the firm's price target on Park Hotels & Resorts to $10 from $12 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Gaming, lodging and leisure fundamentals were "muted" in 2025, with select areas of acceleration skewed to companies serving older, wealthier consumers, the analyst tells investors in a 2026 look ahead note on the group. For 2026, the firm expects "more of the same fundamentally," with the added wrinkle of rates boosting goods over services, the analyst added.

Overweight

Reason

Barclays initiated coverage of Park Hotels & Resorts with an Overweight rating and $13 price target. The firm launched coverage of seven hotel real estate investment trusts. The firm believes the hotel REITs will continue to function mainly as a short- term trading sector for many REIT investors, rather than as a potential source of long-term excess returns. Barclays favors companies with "definable business strategies and solid balance sheets."
