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)
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. As of Aug 13, 2026.
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.
All 21 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($101.14) versus Earnings-Based ($36.94). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (78).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 71 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 67
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.
