HTHT Stock Recent News

I reiterate my buy rating on H World Group due to strong execution, efficient M&F scaling, and robust pipeline conversion. The upper-midscale hotel expansion and positive franchisee sentiment support long-term revenue growth and margin improvement. Legacy-DH is showing early signs of RevPAR recovery, and the asset-light shift should enhance future profitability despite near-term volatility.

HTHT's first-quarter 2025 margins reflect higher revenue contribution from manachised and franchised businesses.
