Positive
The earnings call summary shows mixed signals: positive EPS and EBITDA growth, strong unit growth, and a robust development pipeline, but offset by flat RevPAR expectations and macroeconomic risks. The Q&A reveals management's cautious optimism but also highlights potential downside risks. The shareholder return plan is strong, but competitive pressures and economic uncertainties weigh on the outlook. Overall, these factors suggest a neutral sentiment, with no strong catalysts for significant stock price movement in either direction over the next two weeks.
