Choice Hotels stock is a 'win-win,' analyst says

Описание: As part of Yahoo Finance's Travel Guide 2024: Industry Insights special, Baird Senior Research Analyst Michael Bellisario sharwes his top hotel stock pick: Choice Hotels (CHH). He calls Choice a "win-win" situation.
If Choice's acquisition of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WH) is approved, Bellisario sees significant synergy given that "bigger is better" in the hotel franchising industry. Even if the deal fails, he values Choice's "stand-alone" plan due to its strong balance sheet and earnings recovery.
Bellisario notes brands like Marriott (MAR) and Hilton (HLT) benefit from business travel loyalty. However, Choice and Wyndham rewards are more "immediate" while appealing to lower-end leisure guests. Still, merging could boost loyalty and rewards across both brands.
