$HTHT Fasten your seatbelts, earnings release before tomorrow's open.

$HTHT Heads up alert! Upcoming earnings on Tuesday, 5/20/2025 for $HTHT Bullish (7.5) H World Group Limited (NASDAQ: HTHT) is demonstrating a promising trajectory in the hospitality sector, with recent performance metrics indicating a resilient business model despite some challenges. The company's full-year 2024 results showed revenues of CN¥23.9 billion, marking a solid growth of 9.2% year-over-year. However, earnings per share (EPS) growth lagged expectations, which may raise concerns among investors about profitability amidst rising operational costs. The current P/E ratio stands at approximately 25, which is favorable when compared to industry peers averaging around 30, suggesting that HTHT may still have room for valuation expansion. Additionally, the company recently reported hosting nearly 6.3 million guests during the May Day holiday, reflecting a robust demand rebound with a 30% increase from the prior year, which bodes well for future revenue streams. Analysts are particularly optimistic about the company's strategic initiatives and expansion plans within the global market, positioning HTHT as a potential multi-bagger stock. In terms of upcoming financial disclosures, H World Group is scheduled to release its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2025 on May 20, 2025. Historical performance indicates that the company has consistently met or exceeded revenue expectations, while EPS has been more volatile, creating a mixed bag of analyst sentiment. Current consensus estimates suggest a moderate revenue growth forecast of approximately 8% for Q1 2025, alongside cautious optimism about EPS recovery, with analysts predicting an increase as operational efficiencies improve. The anticipated earnings report could significantly influence investor sentiment and stock performance, especially if it aligns closely with revenue growth expectations while addressing EPS concerns. Overall, HTHT remains a stock to watch, as its strategic positioning and market performance suggest a positive outlook amidst a competitive landscape. - Funds were net buyers of $HTHT during the previous reporting quarter. - Top 5 funds with large holdings in $HTHT: * Generation Investment Management LLP $193MM.
