Description: HTHT Huazhu October 31, 2025

H World Group Limited (NASDAQ: HTHT) develops, owns, leases, manages and franchises a diversified portfolio of hotels across China, operating under both its proprietary brands (e.g., HanTing, Ni Hao, Hi Inn) and internationally-recognized Accor brands such as Ibis, Mercure, Novotel and Steigenberger.

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Shanghai, the company rebranded from Huazhu Group to H World in June 2022 to reflect its expanded, asset-light business model that now emphasizes franchising and management contracts over direct ownership.

Key performance indicators from the most recent FY 2023 filing show a 12% year-over-year increase in revenue to RMB 28.4 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.6%, and an average occupancy rate of 71%-well above the Chinese hotel sector average of ~65% amid a post-COVID domestic travel rebound.

Sector drivers that materially affect HTHT’s outlook include China’s GDP growth (projected ~4.5% in 2025), rising disposable income fueling leisure travel, and the government’s “dual circulation” policy that encourages domestic tourism, all of which support higher RevPAR growth for mid-scale and upscale properties.
