HTHT

We downgrade H World Group Limited to HOLD from BUY ahead of Q3 results, citing macro headwinds and oversupply concerns. HTHT's asset-light transformation and brand upgrades support resilience, but weak consumer demand and hotel oversupply limit upside. Recent partnerships with state-owned enterprises will add significant hotel supply, risking further ADR and margin pressure.

H World Group Limited remains a Buy, after I evaluated its results, outlook, and shareholder returns. HTHT's 2Q2026 topline represented a 5% beat against consensus, driven by a strong 25% rise in its Manachised and Franchised (M&F) segment revenues. The mid-point of its FY2026 sales growth guidance was increased from +4.0% to +6.0%, which is backed by asset upgrades, a robust hotel backlog, and further penetration potential in China.

H World Group (HTHT) delivered solid Q2 results, with revenue in line and EBITDA beating expectations, driven by resilient China operations and ongoing ADR growth. We maintain a bullish rating and $63/share target, justified by strong execution, asset-light transformation, and a new $2.5bn three-year shareholder return program. HTHT's premiumization and globalization strategies are gaining traction, with upgrades to core brands and international expansion, despite temporary macro headwinds abroad.
