H World Group Limited Sponsored ADR Price and EPS Surprise
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $798.2 million, suggesting a 1.6% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors Likely to Shape HTHT’s Quarterly Results
H World Group's fourth-quarter revenues are expected to have increased year over year on the back of steady growth in domestic travel demand. Also, focus on expansion efforts and hotel signings are likely to have contributed to the top line.
Owing to stable travel demand and healthy occupancy rates, HTHT expects revenue to increase 1-5% year over year for the fourth quarter of 2024. The company’s upper-mid segment growth, driven by rising brand recognition among customers and franchisees, is also expected to have aided its quarterly performance.
However, the company’s top line is likely to have been impacted by the ongoing revenue per available room (RevPAR) and average daily rate (ADR) pressure. The company expects a mid-single-digit year-over-year decline in RevPAR in the fourth quarter due to ADR pressure. Additionally, the planned closure of leased and owned hotels as part of the asset-light strategy is likely to have affected revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
Meanwhile, operating costs due to business recovery and rising personnel costs are likely to have hurt the bottom line. The company has also been witnessing high selling and marketing expenses due to an increase in commissions and promotional expenses.
