Fawne Jiang has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including H World Group’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning in the market. The company delivered better-than-expected results in the third quarter of 2025, with both revenue and profitability surpassing forecasts. This success is attributed to effective execution in resilient travel markets, as well as early signs of stabilization in revenue per available room (RevPAR), supported by robust demand and a reduction in industry oversupply.
Additionally, the company’s asset-light business model has demonstrated strong operating leverage, further enhanced by ongoing cost-optimization efforts. The positive outlook is reinforced by China’s structural consumption shift, where travel is becoming an essential category, positioning H World Group as a key beneficiary and leader in the growing hospitality market. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties, the company’s focus on capital-efficient growth and its long-term targets for network expansion and revenue composition provide a solid foundation for sustained margin expansion and future growth, justifying the increased price target of $52.
In another report released today, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $49.00 price target.
