Movement Alert|H World Group Falls 3.46% in Regular Trading, Industry RevPAR Data Weakens as High Oil Prices Suppress Travel Demand

Market Focus05-26

On May 26, H World Group (01179.HK) declined 3.46% in regular trading, trading at HKD 34.64/share, with trading volume of HKD 73.34 million.

On the news front, industry RevPAR data turned notably weaker in early May. The week of April 26 to May 2 saw RevPAR decline 8.7% year-over-year, while the May Day holiday period recorded RevPAR down 0.9% YoY, falling short of the market consensus expectation of mid-single-digit growth. Occupancy rate decline was identified as the primary drag, while ADR maintained slight growth.

Concurrently, crude oil prices sustained above USD 100 per barrel have begun materially impacting travel willingness. May Day holiday travel volume and tourism revenue grew only 3.6% and 2.9% YoY respectively, decelerating sharply from Chinese New Year and Qingming holidays. Aviation passenger volume plunged to -5.8% YoY, driven by fuel surcharge hikes that pushed average airfares up over 10%. Inbound tourism, previously highlighted as a key growth driver for mid-to-high-end hotels, also showed near-zero flight volume growth during the holiday.
