The earnings call highlights several negative factors: softening demand, competitive pressures, international travel decline, economic policy uncertainty, and group cancellations. Despite some positive financial metrics, the lack of guidance on share repurchases, the negative impact of LA wildfires, and management's vague responses in the Q&A add to the negative sentiment. The market cap of $1.63 billion suggests moderate sensitivity to these factors, leading to a likely stock price decrease of -2% to -8%.
