Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A beat-and-raise earnings narrative, coupled with a sizable development pipeline and ongoing share repurchases, typically prompts a positive re-rating of earnings potential and cash-flow visibility. While Net Package RevPAR softness and Mexico exposure are risks, the balance of stronger US demand, World Cup upside, and China expansion provides clearer near-term upside.
