Fitch: Leverage Up-Tick Dilutes Benefits From Starwood's Timeshare Spin-Off
Business Wire - Wed Feb 11, 2:47PM CST
Starwood Hotels & Resorts' (Starwood) planned spin-off of its more volatile and capital intensive timeshare business to shareholders is a positive strategy shift that will improve the company's credit profile over the cycle, according to Fitch Ratings. However, the company's leverage will likely increase to the upper bound of Fitch's target at the 'BBB' rating, in the near term, making the tactical execution less bondholder friendly. Separately, Fitch views Starwood's plan to more aggressively use its balance sheet to bolster its rooms system growth as a modest incremental negative, albeit within the scope of its rating.
