Choice Hotels: Strong FY2024 Earnings, But I Don't Buy The Guidance
Summary CHH had a strong 2024, but 2025 looks shaky due to a weak CAD dollar and tariff threats impacting Canadian travel to the U.S. Recent earnings were solid, with net income up 16% and EPS up 22%, but guidance for 2025 seems overly optimistic. The Canadian travel decline could reduce CHH's revenue, leading to a projected 0.5% revenue decline in 2025. I rate CHH a Hold with a $135 price target, given the risks and limited growth prospects for 2025, but noting a solid pipeline for the future.

Choice Hotels: Angry Canadians May Damper 2025 Guidance
Summary Choice Hotels International is expected to face a challenging 2025 due to macroeconomic factors, despite a strong 2024 performance. A weak Canadian dollar and potential tariffs may reduce Canadian travel to the U.S., impacting CHH's revenue growth. With limited RevPAR growth expected, and macroeconomic uncertainty, I rate the stock a Hold with a price target of $138. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 16
Choice Hotels: Rating Downgrade On Poor Performance
Summary I downgraded Choice Hotels International stock from hold to sell due to an unjustified stock rally and poor macro backdrop. CHH's stagnant net unit growth and high franchise attrition rate raise concerns about long-term revenue visibility and growth. Persistent RevPAR underperformance and reliance on unpredictable ancillary revenues make CHH's EBITDA growth strategy unsustainable. CHH's current valuation at ~14x forward EV/EBITDA is unjustified given its weak fundamentals and lower growth prospects compared to peers. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Nov 05
Choice Hotels: Still A Buy With Earnings Beat And Guidance Raise
Summary CHH's Q3 2024 non-GAAP adjusted EPS rose by +22.5% YoY and exceeded the consensus estimate by +16.6%, thanks to royalty rate expansion and a higher number of hotel rooms. The company raised its full-year normalized EPS outlook by +4% to $6.785 as per the mid-point of its guidance, Choice Hotels' favorable prospects are supported by a robust pipeline.
