Aoris International Fund Matthew Berry | “IHG is a brand owner and franchisor of global hotel chains, including Holiday Inn, InterContinental and Crowne Plaza. Hotel owners pay IHG a franchise fee in exchange for access to its brands, loyalty program, and IT systems. IHG's technology systems are a core advantage over smaller chains and independent hotels. AI can widen this gap through improvements in its search functions, booking process, customer service, pricing, marketing, and operational efficiency. IHG is developing AI-powered conversational search to help guests book properties and receive more detailed information. IHG Group's share price rose by 32% in the quarter, contributing 2.2% to portfolio return for the period.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 23, 2026 | View Pitch |
Aoris International Fund Matthew Berry | “IHG Group is a brand owner and franchisor of hotel chains globally. IHG provides hotel owners the benefits of its loyalty program, property management system, reservation system, and revenue management system in return for a franchisee fee. IHG today accounts for 4% of global hotel rooms and 10% of the pipeline, which indicates it should increase its share of the hotel market and grow earnings at an attractive rate for many years to come. BSD Analysis: IHG is hospitality monetized through brand and loyalty rather than real estate risk. Asset-light management contracts convert occupancy recovery directly into cash flow. Brands like Holiday Inn and InterContinental benefit from global scale and standardized trust. Investors fixate on travel cyclicality and miss loyalty-driven repeat demand. Pricing power shows up fastest in midscale and business travel segments. New room growth expands fee streams without balance-sheet strain. This is travel infrastructure that scales with confidence, not capex.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
