IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG): news on Friday 23 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Friday morning, 23 October 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage centred on IHG's third-quarter trading update, with stronger RevPAR, accelerating growth and full-year expectations backed. A BofA target increase and the 1,000-hotel milestone in Europe added to the positive tone, though one report noted the shares sliding.
What drove it
- Q3 trading update
- RevPAR growth
- analyst target raise
