Shares of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC have clocked in a fairly subdued return since my last piece in November, underperforming the broader market. Concerns surrounding demand in the important U.S. market may be to blame, with tariff fears contributing to a relatively muted RevPAR performance in Q2. On the flip side, system growth remains strong and RevPAR trends appear more resilient elsewhere. As a result, earnings have continued to grow at a strong double-digit rate.
IHG demonstrates robust topline growth and margin expansion, driven by its asset-light, fee-based model and global diversification, despite macroeconomic headwinds. Strong free cash flow, prudent debt management, and a healthy balance sheet support dividend longevity and provide a solid liquidity buffer. Valuation metrics (P/E, P/S, P/FCF, DDM) indicate IHG is trading at a discount, offering reasonable upside potential from current levels.

InterContinental Hotels Group (NYSE:IHG ) Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call August 7, 2025 3:30 AM ET Company Participants Elie Wajih Maalouf - CEO & Executive Director Jolie Fleming - Executive VP and Chief Product & Technology Officer Michael Glover - CFO & Executive Director Stuart Ford - Senior VP & Head of Investor Relations Stuart Ford Hello, and welcome to IHG's 2025 Half Year Results Presentation. I'm Stuart Ford, Senior Vice President and Head of Investor Relations at IHG Hotels and Resorts.
Intercontinental Hotels Group PLC (LSE:IHG) hiked its interim dividend 10% as first-half profits came in well above forecasts, despite slowing revenue numbers in the second quarter. Pre-tax profit for the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza brand owner jumped 34% to $633 million in the first six months of 2025, comfortably ahead of analysts' estimates of $516.9 million, as revenue rose 6% to $1.2 billion amidst record hotel openings.
InterContinental Hotels Group's asset-light model delivers robust free cash flow, high margins, and strong shareholder yield through dividends and aggressive buybacks. FY 2025 outlook is positive: RevPAR and room growth in Americas and EMEAA drive revenue and cash flow, supporting a projected 6.5% shareholder yield. Current buybacks outpace free cash flow, gradually increasing debt, so high returns may not be sustainable beyond FY 2026 as leverage approaches management's target.
Summer travel demand is holding up as consumers keep booking despite economic uncertainty. Elie Maalouf, CEO of IHG Hotels & Resorts, joins Wealth to discuss growing travel demand and share why both luxury and everyday travel brands across the company's portfolio are seeing steady growth.
IHG has outperformed the S&P 500 with a 179% total return over the past 5 years. The capital-light, franchise-driven model enables rapid expansion and significant shareholder returns, including $1B returned in 2024 and strong buybacks planned for 2025. IHG's growth outlook is robust, with mid-teens EPS CAGR expected, driven by RevPAR growth and a strong development pipeline.
