H World Group: Resilient Growth And Global Ambitions In A Challenging Market
Remain bullish on HTHT, seeing its unique value-for-money positioning and robust membership growth as key drivers despite China's soft macro environment. HTHT's expansion in lower-tier Chinese cities and overseas markets, especially after acquiring Deutsche Hospitality, supports long-term growth and global ambitions. Network expansion and brand upgrades are on track, with a growing mix of mid-to-upper midscale hotels, enhancing user loyalty and brand equity.

H World Group: Buy Rating Maintained As M&F Momentum Builds
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.
