PHOTOS: GERRIT DOPPENBERG Wyndham and Edendale will meet in the division one club rugby final after winning their respective semifinals on Saturday. These two sides are regular finalists in this grade and Wyndham are the Ack Soper Shield holders. Wyndham was pushed to the 80th minute on Saturday by Pioneer before taking the win at home, 21-18. Each side scored two tries and a conversion but Wyndham kicked three penalty goals to Pioneer's two. Pioneer No.8 Damon Hurley powered his way through would-be defenders to score just before halftime and give his team an 18-7 lead at the break. The second half was a battle, with momentum swinging both ways. Wyndham steadily worked their way back into the match, capitalising on field position and applying scoreboard pressure Wyndham blindside flanker Joseph Ferguson was best in show, while prop Sean Bennett and No 8 Jaden Walsh were also in top form. Centre Hayden Diack scored both of Wyndham's tries. Pioneer prop Lachlan Scott was the visitors' best, while openside flanker Ryan Davers and second five-eighth Jhardyn Stewart also made an impact. Front-rower Troy Wyatt officially retired from the division one team, after a thoroughly committed career. Hayden Diack smashes through defenders after finding the right side of the field a bit bare, scoring a good try for Wyndham last Saturday. Pioneer would like to thank their many sponsors and supporters who helped create a successful season for Pioneer, with their women's team and presidents' grade team also making it through to the semifinals. Edendale had a more comfortable win on their home ground over the Riversdale-Waikaka Vikings 27-12. The first 20 minutes of the game was evenly contested and scoreless. The locals kicked a penalty goal and then took advantage of the Vikings' errors and racked up a 20-point lead before halftime. The Vikings kept challenging Edendale's line in the second half and tries were scored by Logan McKee and Conor Niblock but the local defence had control of the situation. Edendale midfielder Jeremy McLeod scored 10 points during his man-of-the-match performance. Right wing Logan van der Straaten and No8 Cole Williams were the other two Magpies to stand out. Vikings blindside flanker Alex Peirce and No8 Nathan Bokser used their strength and experience to make an impact on the game, while fullback Fabrice Frei also impressed. Vikings would like to thank their many sponsors and supporters. Waikiwi will host the division two final this Saturday against Riverton, while Pirates Old Boys B won the division three final over Wakatipu B 27-17.

What To Expect From Wyndham's (WH) Q2 Earnings
Hotel franchising company Wyndham (NYSE:WH) will be reporting results this Wednesday after market close. Here's what you need to know. Wyndham met analysts' revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $316 million, up 3.6% year on year. It was a mixed quarter for the company, with a decent beat of analysts' EPS estimates but a miss of analysts' adjusted operating income estimates. Is Wyndham a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Wyndham's revenue to grow 5.5% year on year to $387.3 million, improving from the 1.4% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Heading into earnings, analysts covering the company have grown increasingly bearish with revenue estimates seeing 3 downward revisions over the last 30 days (we track 8 analysts). Wyndham has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates five times over the last two years. Looking at Wyndham's peers in the travel and vacation providers segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Carnival delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 9.5%, beating analysts' expectations by 1.7%, and Delta reported flat revenue, topping estimates by 1.5%. Carnival traded up 5.9% following the results while Delta was also up 11.9%. Read our full analysis of Carnival's results here and Delta's results here. There has been positive sentiment among investors in the travel and vacation providers segment, with share prices up 11.3% on average over the last month. Wyndham is up 8.2% during the same time. When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we've found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.

Travel stock earnings: What to watch for
A number of travel-related stocks will report quarterly results the week of July 21, including Hilton (HLT), Wyndham (WH), and Travel+Leisure (TNL). Jefferies managing director David Katz joins Market Catalysts with Julie Hyman to share what he will be watching for. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts here. We're navigating how to play the travel sector with the Yahoo Finance investor playbook. Hilton, Windham, travel and leisure. They're among the companies reporting this week. And joining me now with his take on some of those top performers is David Katz, managing director at Jeffries. David, it's good to see you. I want to start sort of high level here on the travel industry and whether we are seeing demand come back in a way that could benefit sort of a wide swath of these travel providers. What do you think? Yeah. I look, I think, I think demand for travel is relatively solid, but, but there's a couple of important threats to it. The most important threat is the inbound international travel. You may remember that, you know, last summer, the, the value of the dollar was high, and it was cheaper to travel abroad. And so the balance of inbound versus outbound was unfavorable for the North American oriented hotel companies. This year was supposed to be an easy comparison in that regard. And with the dollar being down, it, it should have followed through, but it has not so far. And I think part of that is the, you know, the, the frankly unfavorable light in which people are looking at international travelers or looking at at US cities. The number one inbound market into the US is Canada. And you know, they have not been traveling to Florida and Arizona, uh, and the US, uh, as expected. And so, you know, that's I think the biggest threat to what is otherwise some very solid demand generally. And does that mean that sort of domestically, more domestically oriented lodging companies, for example, could potentially do better in this environment? Well, yes. And, and it's one of the reasons why, uh, and I'm sure you'll get to this why we continue to have a buy rating on Wyndham hotels. Uh, they're roughly 70% drive to travelers. Um, and, and that implies more of a domestic orientation to it. Um, you know, people are always going to travel. It's a question of where and how they get there. Uh, and at the moment, you know, yes, there is more domestic inbound travel, uh, then, then outbound internet, you know, or inbound international travel as well. Um, well, Wyndham reports on Wednesday, right? And the stock has down about 14% year to date. So do you foresee them giving some better news in there that could help turn the shares around? Yeah. Uh, I do. Uh, I do. Look, we, we look at let starting high level. We love the Hotel C Corp business model, including Windham and Hilton, and, and, and frankly all of them. Right? They, they don't own real estate. They don't fund CapEx. They earn fees. Uh, their returns on invested capital are fantastic. They return a ton of capital on an annualized basis. And Wyndham is certainly a part of that. They tend to be limited service and economy oriented and pure franchise, right? Great business model. At the moment, if you look at the rev par numbers that are coming across in limited service and economy, they have been somewhat weak. There has been concern about consumers at that end of the economy. And so, you know, we're seeing weekly rev par numbers that have been, you know, down modestly, pretty much for a year plus now. And while the what, what is the key driver of returns and those stocks is really growing their system or net unit growth. And Wyndham is going to grow theirs as much as four and a half percent this year. Uh, there is still this weekly focus of the rev par numbers, that's sort of a bad catalyst. I think they're going to come on and report a very strong quarter, right? Um, you know, they may, um, you know, the rev par numbers not going to be great, but the nug is important and the ancillary fees are very important. And so I, I do think they're going to have a strong quarter. Gotcha. And for those who are not familiar, by the way, revenue, rev par, revenue per available room, unit revenue, in other words, um, is what we're talking about here. Um, Hilton is the other company that's going to be reporting on Wednesday. There too, I know you're focused on that net unit growth. In other words, like how many more rooms are there going to be, right? That's what we're talking about here. Are they also going to be seeing that kind of growth this year? Right. So theirs is actually a little bit better. And I, and I saw your colleague put it up, some stock performance charts, and Hilton's outperformed its peer Marriott considerably, and part of that is the growth profile that they have. Uh, and that growth profile is manifested in net unit growth, right? They're guiding 6 to 7% this year. Now, I think when we get into where that's coming from, um, you know, a good portion of it is coming from conversions, meaning existing properties that are either independent and choosing a flag or they're choosing from another flag into Hilton. And you know, Hilton has been a share taker in that regard for, for a while. And I think it's why they get the valuation premium, and it's why they've gotten the stock outperformance. In terms of what you're going to see and hear from them, you know, there again, rev par has not been fantastic, but I think when people look at Hilton and they look at this group, they're much more focused on net unit growth and the ability to sustain that growth profile and then what they do with the fees, returning capital, um, you know, has been just a huge piece for Hilton and its peers over the years.

Kevin Kisner had an interesting take on the Wyndham Clark/Oakmont locker room situation
It has been a tumultuous couple of months for Wyndham Clark. First, he damaged a sign at the PGA Championship and then damaged lockers inside the Oakmont clubhouse, which it resulted in him being banned from the club, it was announced earlier this week. He opened with 76 in the British Open at Royal Portrush on Thursday but put together three great rounds to finish in the top five at the last major championship of the year. During final round coverage on NBC, analyst Kevin Kisner had an interesting take on the Clark and Oakmont debacle, which resulted in numerous golf personalities on social media questioning his comments. "I'm not sure anybody in the situation handled it properly," Kisner said on the broadcast. "Wyndham probably could have nipped that in the bud with an earlier, or justifiable, statement, but locker rooms are supposed to be sacred. Not sure how that picture got out, USGA can help with that. I think if everyone just sat at a table face to face, that situation could go away pretty quickly." His comments make it seem as if he's pointing a finger at the USGA for the photo getting out. No Laying Up's Tron Carter is who initially posted the photo of damage on social media. After Kisner's comments, numerous people flooded social media to post about the situation. Clark finished T-4 at the British Open and spoke with media Sunday after declining to talk Saturday. "Yeah, so obviously I feel terrible with what happened. I'm doing anything I can to try to remedy the situation. We're trying to keep it private between Oakmont, myself and the USGA. I'm just happy we have a pathway moving forward, and like you said, I'm hoping we can get past this and move on and hope there's no ill-will towards me and Oakmont. "Like you said, I'm just trying to get past it. I want the best for Oakmont, the USGA and myself. Like I said, I'm very sorry for what I did and feel terrible, and hopefully in a few months we're past this, and it's something of the past." His T-4 at Royal Portrush is on the heels of a T-11 at the Genesis Scottish Open, so perhaps it's a sign of improving play. Clark was asked about the situation becoming public, and he said, "we were hoping it was going to be private. I'll just leave it at that."

Luxury, Credit Cards, Deals: What We're Watching in Hotel Earnings
Government travel headwinds and tariff uncertainties may be temporary. Luxury resilience and growing credit card fees may be enduring. Many analysts believe the major hotel groups are positioned to report steady, if unspectacular, growth in the second quarter, thanks to enjoying more tailwinds than headwinds. In April, Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta predicted that travel demand would stabilize after the passage of President Trump's tax and budget bill and summer negotiations over tariffs. In May, Marriott issued upbeat guidance for the year and assumed no U.S. recession would emerge. Second-quarter results will show whether that optimism reflected confidence or wishful thinking. Earlier this year, revenue per available room (RevPAR) had been recovering but remained below 2019 peaks in several key markets and segments. Reports we'll be tracking this week: Hilton (Wednesday) and Wyndham (Thursday). Marriott, Hyatt, IHG, Choice, Accor, and others will roll out in the coming weeks. Sources of Streng
