BAD HOTEL STOCK

Hotels are getting more and more expensive. Try to redirect some funds in my pocket.

people will continue to go to hotels and the global ecomomy will improve with people traveling more

well positioned to pick up more business by expanding in europe and south america. very conservative.

The hospitality sector will boom throughout 2008-09

Excellent and agressive management. Worldwide hotels with great marketing ideas. Building new hotels in China with the blessing of the government. This is a company that will grow dramaticly in the coming years.

Low PE, Well managed company, focusing on services and giving strong returns to shareholders. $30 in 4 months. There are not enough hotles globally to meet demand. experiencing the fastest growth in China of all hotel companies.

IHG continues to execute its strategy for growth while reducing the number of outstanding shares. It will continue to perform.

Owners are starting to realize why IHG justs wants to manage them; dumpy and in need of serious repairs or updates. As new marriots and hiltons go up next door, customers realize the difference quickly. Thank god for the reward points program or business travelers would have jumped ship quicker. Look for travelers to dump the old girlfriend for the blonde down the street and watch profits drop.........

excellent company , does not own hotels , but does manage them , they just unloaded most of the hotels that they did own and now they have some cash to play with . they are also looking to china for expansion, note : the hotels that they did sell 90% of them they lock in a contract to still run them . the ceo seems to be a strong player and looking for future growth .

Hotels Hotels Hotels. Baby boom generation is going to travel and enjoy life. In developing markets, consumers will travel more and stay in branded hotels more. Currenlty they normally tend to stay in relatives homes or in unbranded hotels. With east becoming more westernized you could see a great potential for demand in quality branded hotels. IHG owns great brands including the Holiday Inn brand and has a very good international presence.

Amazingly, I've had this stock in my Investopedia simulated portfolio since August, and I just noticed that it has increased 40% in value since then. Sure, it's had a nice run up, but take a look at the chart - It's already gone through it's correction, and today looks to signify another little run. I don't think this one's going to stop until it's P/E is closer to at least 11, possibly 13. I did notice that the forward P/E is 24, which gives me some pause, but short term, this one looks like a winner.

IHG is making a significant play in China hotels. Travel to China increases almost exponentially each quarter. All those people have to stay somewhere. IHG wrings the most out of each property it takes over. Also remodeling some US properties in lucrative locations.
