Starwood cuts outlook as US hotel market weakens |
|
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. reported a better-than-expected 16.4 percent drop in second-quarter profit Thursday, although the stock fell after Starwood cut its full-year outlook, citing a weakening U.S. market. |
Starwood shares fell $4.56, or 11.5 percent, to $35.26 Thursday. The stock has fallen from a 52-week high of $74.05 last July to touch a low of $30.26 last week.
"The slowdown we see continues to be consumer-led," chief financial officer Vasant Prabhu said during a conference call with analysts.
He said the company's weakest markets are those where leisure business plays the biggest role in revenue, such as Phoenix and Hawaii.
