InterContinental Hotels: Light On Assets, Heavy On Returns
InterContinental Hotels Group's asset-light model delivers robust free cash flow, high margins, and strong shareholder yield through dividends and aggressive buybacks. FY 2025 outlook is positive: RevPAR and room growth in Americas and EMEAA drive revenue and cash flow, supporting a projected 6.5% shareholder yield. Current buybacks outpace free cash flow, gradually increasing debt, so high returns may not be sustainable beyond FY 2026 as leverage approaches management's target.
