Dividend Declared

On August 02, 2017, Wyndham Worldwide announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.58 per share on its common stock, payable September 08, 2017, to shareholders of record as of August 25, 2017.

Wyndham Worldwide's indicated dividend represents a yield of 2.40%, which is substantially above the average dividend yield of 2.09% for the Services sector. The Company has raised its dividend for seven consecutive years.

Dividend Insights

Wyndham Worldwide has a dividend payout ratio of 37.4%, which indicates that the Company distributes approximately $0.37 for every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much money a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.

According to analysts' estimates, Wyndham Worldwide is forecasted to report earnings of $6.99 for the next year which is approximately triple the Company's annualized dividend of $2.32.

As of June 30, 2017, Wyndham Worldwide's cash and cash equivalents were $415 million. The Company's long-term debt was $3.7 billion. The remaining borrowing capacity on the revolving credit facility, net of commercial paper borrowings, was $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $663 million, compared with $706 million in the prior year's same period. Free cash flow was $581 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $616 million for the same period in 2016, primarily reflecting the changes in net cash provided by operating activities. The strong financial position indicates the Company's ability to absorb any fluctuations in earnings and cash flow and to sustain its dividend distribution for a long period.
