InterContinental Hotels Group PLC vs Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc., two Hotels & Resorts stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
InterContinental and Wyndham both run asset-light franchise models, earning fees while owners hold the buildings, and they even price alike, 35.22 times earnings for IHG against 34.66 for Wyndham. Net margins sit close too, 14.63% and 13.4%. Wyndham converts a bit more to free cash, 4.59% against 3.26%, and pays the larger dividend at 1.88%. The real difference is scale and geography: IHG spans the globe at a $26.7B cap, four times Wyndham's $6.6B US-tilted footprint. Buyers get a similar fee machine either way, IHG global and larger, Wyndham smaller with a heavier yield.
