Choice Hotels: Strong FY2024 Earnings, But I Don't Buy The Guidance
Summary CHH had a strong 2024, but 2025 looks shaky due to a weak CAD dollar and tariff threats impacting Canadian travel to the U.S. Recent earnings were solid, with net income up 16% and EPS up 22%, but guidance for 2025 seems overly optimistic. The Canadian travel decline could reduce CHH's revenue, leading to a projected 0.5% revenue decline in 2025. I rate CHH a Hold with a $135 price target, given the risks and limited growth prospects for 2025, but noting a solid pipeline for the future.
