Over the past month, there was a clear divergence in the performance of Chinese hotel stocks, according to JPMorgan's research report. HWORLD-S (01179.HK) and JIN JIANG HOTELS (600754.SH) delivered excellent performance, while Atour Lifestyle (ATAT.US) and BTG HOTELS (600258.SH) underperformed the industry.

So far this year, HWORLD-S and Atour Lifestyle recorded a growth of 41% and 59%, while JIN JIANG HOTELS and BTG HOTELS logged a decrease of 2% and an increase of 7% respectively. JPMorgan recommended investors overweighting HWORLD-S and Atour Lifestyle over the next 12 months, as their stronger brands and products offer clearer long-term growth prospects, and their valuations are consistent with or even cheaper than JIN JIANG HOTELS and BTG HOTELS.
