InterContinental Hotels' Ability to Spot Opportunities Opens to Question -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
May 07

1519 GMT - InterContinental Hotels' ability to sieze opportunities amid a challenging environment raises questions, BTG's Julie Palmer says. The owner of the Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn brands' better-than-expected performance was offset by concerns that the Middle East conflict could disrupt overseas travel through jet fuel shortages, even as domestic demand remains strong, she notes. "The question for InterContinental Hotels going forwards is whether it can identify the opportunities if there is a staycation boom--as it did during the pandemic--deliver value for cost-conscious consumers and demonstrate to the affluent just why now is the time to travel," she says. Shares are up 1.8% at $148.55. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
