Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly IHG is the 2nd largest hotel chain in the world, with brands like Intercontinental, Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza. Margins are growing, despite inflation, as travel demand is surging. EPS grew over 200% this year. We like that cash reserves are growing, while the company is retiring debt and growing its portfolio -- adding 400 locations in 2021. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $48, looking to achieve $69 -- upside potential over 18%. Yield 2.2% (Analysts’ price target is $69.00)
