The company’s domestic systemwide RevPAR during second-quarter through May 31, 2021 for its economy portfolio has surpassed 2019 levels. However, during the same period RevPAR for the company’s midscale portfolio reached pre-pandemic level.

Alongside domestic growth, Choice Hotels continues to expand its international footprint in new countries. Key international operating markets include Spain, Colombia, Panama, the Caribbean and Canada. Relatively new to the midscale portfolio, Clarion Pointe — part of the popular Clarion brand — is experiencing great success. Notably, Clarion Pointe brand is resonating well with guests. Currently, the brand has more than 20 hotels (in the pipeline). During the first quarter, the brand opened its 30th hotel in the United States.
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
You know this company from its past glory days, but few would expect that it’s poised for a monster turnaround. Fresh from a successful repositioning and flush with A-list celeb endorsements, it could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in a little more than 9 months and Nvidia which boomed +175.9% in one year.
