Is InterContinental Hotels Group PLC stock worth reviewing? The TradeMates thesis
IHG is priced at the ceiling of analyst expectations following a 15% monthly move. Despite high ROE and solid margins, the pattern of earnings misses and the massive negative equity on the balance sheet ($2.74B) suggest the current valuation is unsustainable. The TradeMates model expects a mean reversion toward the 140-145 range.
