What matters now

  • A high-quality business (quality 73/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($112.36). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • A fairly wide model range ($50.25 to $112.36) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$174.13 $43.95 Fair Value $85.18 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $43.95 – $174.13 · fair‑value band $50.25 – $112.36 · the $160.77 price screens above the $85.18 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.

Analysis

InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ADR (IHG) currently trades at $160.77, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $85.18, implying the stock looks roughly 88.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 73/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $101.14 per share, and 0 of the 21 models we run sit above the $160.77 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at $36.94, and 21 of the 21 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ADR generated revenue of $5.2B at a net margin of 14.6%. Revenue grew 2.7% year over year. Net debt stands at $3.5B. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 33.1. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $50.25 (bear case) to $112.36 (bull case); at $160.77, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 7% below its 52-week high and 48% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −61% fair-value upside, at −47%, IHG screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $2.05 per share, which is 2.4 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
