Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. vs InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, two Hotels & Resorts stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Hilton Grand Vacations sells and finances timeshare intervals, a lending-heavy business, while InterContinental franchises hotel brands worldwide and owns little. Their multiples sit closer than the models suggest, HGV at 29.46 times earnings and IHG at 35.22. IHG runs the wider margin at 14.63% net against HGV's slim 3.16%, since fee income drops through cleanly. HGV counters on cash, a 7.19% free cash yield versus 3.26%. Scale is lopsided, IHG at $26.7B against HGV's $4.6B, roughly six to one. HGV carries heavy debt at 3.52 times equity from financing customer purchases. IHG earns fees on others' rooms while HGV sells vacation weeks, both sitting under the broad hospitality tent.
