Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts appointed Amit Sripathi, previously its Chief Development Officer – North America, as Chief Financial Officer effective March 3, 2026, replacing interim CFO Kurt Albert, who departs March 4, 2026 and moves to a nine-month advisory role. The company also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook, which it first gave in its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings materials released February 18, 2026, so the change in finance leadership does not come with a guidance change.
