Atour Lifestyle Q1 Earnings Miss Estimates, Revenues Surpass
Read MoreHide Full Article
Atour Lifestyle Holdings Limited (ATAT - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and net revenues beating the same. The top line increased year over year, while the bottom line declined from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
For the quarter, the company reported solid performance, showcasing high-quality growth across its hotel and retail segments amid a volatile market environment. It opened 121 new hotels during the quarter, expanding its operational portfolio to 1,727 properties. To strengthen its position in the upper-midscale segment, Atour Lifestyle introduced Atour 3.6 and launched the latest version of its Atour Light brand, Atour Light 3.3, progressing toward its goal of reaching 1,000 Atour Light hotels. The retail business also gained significant traction, with the Atour Planet deep-sleep product line continuing to influence consumer perception and driving a 70.9% year-over-year increase in gross merchandise value.
Following the results, the company shares gained 8.9% during trading hours yesterday.
Atour Lifestyle’s Q1 in Detail
The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of 24 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 32 cents by 25%. In the prior-year quarter, ATAT recorded an adjusted EPS of 26 cents. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
