Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. | “Park Hotels & Resorts was a detractor for the year. The company sold off due to worries about how an uneasy macro environment will impact a leisure-focused hotel company. The iconic Hilton Hawaiian Village, Park's most valuable property, is still recovering from both a labor strike in 2024 and reduced Japanese inbound travel as a result of the weaker yen. The company has continued down the path of selling non-core hotels and has thus far received attractive prices, while share repurchases have also occurred. We sold our position earlier in the year due to a combination of recycling capital into better ideas and never getting our position to a normal weight. BSD Analysis: Park Hotels is a pure-play on large-format, high-end hotels tied to business travel and conventions. Leisure travel already recovered, and group bookings are now following. Room rates remain structurally higher than pre-COVID norms. Debt is manageable, and asset quality is strong. Investors worry about recession risk, but pricing power tells a different story. Hotels reprice daily — that flexibility matters. This is cyclical exposure with improving fundamentals.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 1, 2026 | View Pitch |
