HTHT Stock Recent News

I maintain my buy rating on HTHT, driven by strong asset-light expansion and deepening member engagement, fueling durable earnings growth. HTHT's rapid hotel pipeline conversion, cost-efficient build-outs, and growing membership engagement create a powerful growth flywheel and competitive moat. Early signs of RevPAR recovery in China and margin tailwinds from lower build costs further de-risk HTHT's growth outlook.

I remain neutral on H World due to mixed signals regarding improving margins and a pressured RevPAR outlook. The good thing is that HTHT's shift towards capital-light hospitality properties is driving operating profitability enhancement, with EBITDA beating consensus by 10% in 2Q2025. The bad thing is that the Mainland Chinese hotel industry RevPAR is on a downtrend because of issues like oversupply and weak demand.
