As of June 30, 2024, the Group operates a total of 10,286 hotels worldwide, with Legacy-Huazhu having 10,150 operating hotels and Legacy-DH having 136 operating hotels. H World and Legacy-Huazhu reached the remarkable milestone of 10,000 hotels in the second quarter, opening a new chapter for the group. H World has now grown from over 10,000 hotels in more than 1,000 cities to over 20,000 hotels in more than 2,000 cities, achieving high-quality expansion of its hotel network, which signifies a new starting point for its “Thousand Cities, Ten Thousand Hotels 2.0” strategy.At the same time, Legacy-Huazhu will continue to focus on product upgrades, excellent service, and membership programs to enhance the competitive advantage of the H World and promote sustainable growth in average revenue per available room. In terms of overseas business, the group is keen to expand its global footprint and transfer Legacy-DH into a more asset-light model.As of June 30, 2024, the Company has 3,294 hotels under development, including 3,266 for Legacy-Huazhu and 28 for Legacy-DH. Additionally, the group announced an upward revision of its guidance for hotel openings in 2024, expecting to open over 2,200 hotels, up from the previous guidance of 1,800, further expanding its hotel network.Dividends and Buybacks Reflect Corporate Confidence; Positive Outlook for the Hotel IndustryOn July 23, 2024, the board of directors of H World announced a three-year shareholder return plan effective immediately, which may distribute up to a total of $2 billion to the group’s shareholders.

The increased dividend and share repurchase total reflect the group’s confidence in its long-term development.H World is a significant player in the global hospitality industry. The main reason is that Chinese hotels have a strong industry background due to the fact that they have the world's largest tourist population and diverse forms of tourism. According to official statistics, in the first half of 2024, the passenger volume of railway and domestic flights was 2.096 billion and 350 million, respectively, representing year-on-year growth of 18.4% and 23.5%; the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China also reported that the number of tourists during the Labour Day Holiday has returned to a level 28% higher than that of 2019. With the follow-up publicity and promotion of cultural tourism across different regions, residents’ willingness to travel has become stronger. In terms of cross-border travel, inbound tourism is gaining popularity under the “China Travel” trend. Statistics from the National Immigration Administration of China shows that in the first half of the year, 14.635 million foreign visitors entered the country from various ports, a year-on-year increase of 152.7%; the China Tourism Academy also predicts that the number of outbound tourists will reach 130 million in 2024.

道格·埃默霍夫准备迎接他的重要时刻 Latest News

道格·埃默霍夫准备迎接他的重要时刻

(SeaPRwire) - 道格·埃默霍夫以其老套的爸爸笑话和对妻子副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的超级粉丝而闻名。这个月,一张他 20 岁时狡黠微笑的照片在互联网上疯传——就像 2021 年他在众议院议长席上向哈里斯吹吻的视频一样。 但对于很多美国人来说,当美国第二先生在周二晚上在民主党全国代表大会上登台时,这将是他们第一次听到他在全国舞台上发表长篇演讲。 埃默霍夫已成为哈里斯竞选活动中一个有力的声音,也是一位强大的筹款人。但尽管他是美国总统或副总统历史上第一位男性配偶,也是第一位犹太人配偶,但他一直保持着低调。随着他在芝加哥黄金时段的亮相,与领衔明星巴拉克·奥巴马同台,哈里斯竞选团队希望改变这种状况,并利用他长期以来在捐助者中积累的受欢迎程度,激励选民投票。 “他非常平易近人。他带来了活力。他是另一个可以前往全国各地做代理人并筹集资金的人,”民主党策略师罗代尔·莫里纽说。莫里纽指出,拥有一个愿意参与竞选活动的充满活力的配偶,使哈里斯比特朗普拥有优势,特朗普的妻子很少出现在竞选活动中,并且没有在今年的共和党全国代表大会上发表讲话。“我们知道梅拉尼娅·特朗普不会这样做,”他说。 在担任第二先生的四年中,埃默霍夫曾多次成为病毒式传播事件的主角,但基本避免了争议。“做律师很有用,”他在 2021 年说。“我非常注意自己说的话。” 59 岁的埃默霍夫在纽泽西州长大,在十几岁的时候搬到了加州。1987 年,他从加州州立大学北岭分校毕业后,在南加州大学古尔德法学院学习法律。在接下来的三十年里,他在公司法领域拥有辉煌的职业生涯,专注于代表媒体、娱乐和知识产权案件的公司。 哈里斯和埃默霍夫在 2013 年的一次相亲中相遇,当时她是加州总检察长。他们一年后结婚。当哈里斯成为副总统后,他辞去了公司法的工作,开始在乔治城大学法学院任教。 埃默霍夫与他的第一任妻子凯斯汀·埃默霍夫(一位电影制片人)育有两个孩子。两人结婚 16 年后离婚。哈里斯帮助抚养了埃默霍夫的两个孩子,科尔和艾拉,他们称她为“莫玛拉”。 埃默霍夫作为美国总统或副总统的第一位犹太配偶的身份,他并不轻视。作为第二先生,他动员犹太领导人围绕打击美国反犹太主义问题展开讨论。他还公开表示支持以色列有权自卫抵抗恐怖主义。去年 10 月 7 日袭击事件发生后,埃默霍夫在白宫对犹太领导人发表讲话时说:“这是一次恐怖袭击,恐怖主义永远没有正当理由。这个问题没有两面性。” 自哈里斯成为总统候选人以来,埃默霍夫加大了竞选和筹款力度。他最近参加了在马萨诸塞州马莎葡萄园、纽约州火岛以及缅因州和威斯康星州举行的筹款活动和竞选活动。 哈里斯竞选团队认为,埃默霍夫是副总统最强大的支持者,他可以帮助将观众与哈里斯幕后的一面联系起来,一位竞选助手说。这位助手还表示,除了继续在竞选活动中谈论反犹太主义外,他还将谈论生育权利,以及为什么这个问题对男性和女性一样重要。 在最近几周的筹款活动中,埃默霍夫很快重复了总统乔·拜登退出竞选的那天早上,他错过了哈里斯电话的故事。当时他在洛杉矶参加健身课,与朋友喝咖啡。他的手机在车里。一个小时后,他给哈里斯打电话,她说:“我需要你。” 在他的周二演讲中,他有机会实现这一目标。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Home Depot 业绩公布后,Lowe’s 销售预计下降 Finance

Home Depot 业绩公布后,Lowe’s 销售预计下降

预计Lowe's第二财季收益下降 (SeaPRwire) - Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYSE:LOW)预计将在其第二财季收益报告中显示下降趋势,反映了其竞争对手Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD)所面临的挑战。这家家居建材零售商将在周二开盘前发布其收益报告。彭博社的共识数据预测,Lowe's第二财季营收同比下降约4%,降至约239亿美元,调整后的每股收益下降13%,降至3.97美元。 宏观经济因素的影响 预计Lowe's的同店销售将下降4.43%,这是由于客流量趋势下降(下降0.74%)和平均客单价下降(下降3.6%)所致。如果这些预测成立,这将是Lowe's连续第七个季度出现销售下降。首席执行官马文·埃利森此前将这些挑战归因于“利率下调的不确定性、持续的通货膨胀压力以及消费者对可选服务和体验的偏好”。 Home Depot的表现及其影响 上周,Home Depot公布了又一个令人失望的季度,营收为431.8亿美元,低于预期的437.9亿美元。调整后的每股收益为4.67美元,超出预期的4.52美元。然而,同店销售下降了3.3%,略差于预期的2.39%。这也是Home Depot连续第七个季度出现负增长,美国同店销售下降了3.6%。该公司更新了其2024财年预期,预计总销售额增长2.5%至3.5%,但可比销售额预计将下降3%至4%。 分析师对Lowe's的展望 在Home Depot公布业绩后,由乔·费尔德曼领导的特尔西咨询集团修订了其对Lowe's第二季度的预期。该公司预计同店销售将下降4.5%,营收为239亿美元。费尔德曼强调了对疫情后行业环境正常化、高抵押贷款利率导致的疲软住房市场以及宏观经济不确定性的担忧。尽管面临这些挑战,费尔德曼相信Lowe's的全家居战略(旨在为DIY爱好者和专业人士提供全面的产品范围)能够从长远来看使Lowe's受益,并帮助其获得市场份额。 与去年同期表现的比较 华尔街预计Lowe's今年第二季度的业绩将与去年同期相比有所不同,具体如下: 营收: 239亿美元(低于去年的249.6亿美元) 调整后的每股收益: 3.97美元(低于去年的4.56美元) 同店销售增长: -4.43%(相比之下,去年为-1.60%) 客流量: -3.60%(相比之下,去年为-1.90%) 平均客单价: -0.74%(相比之下,去年为+0.30%) 2024年展望和未来前景 在公布第一季度业绩后,Lowe's重申了其2024年预期,预计总销售额将在840亿美元至850亿美元之间。预计同店销售将同比下降2%至3%。尽管目前面临挑战,但Lowe's的战略举措可能为其长期复苏和增长提供潜力。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

CHINA BLUECHEM REPORTS REVENUE OF RMB6.007 BILLION

Financial Highlights: (RMB Million)For the Six Months Ended 30 June1H 2024 1H 2023ChangeRevenue6,0076,176-2.7%Gross Profit1,0031,064-5.7%Net Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company6871,715-59.9%Basic Earnings per Share (RMB)0.150.37-59.4% HONG KONG, Aug 20, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China BlueChemical Ltd. (“China BlueChem” or the “Company”, stock code: 3983), China’s largest chemical fertilizer central enterprise in both production capacity and production volume, has announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The Company achieved revenue of RMB6.007 billion and net profit attributable to owners of the Company of RMB687 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The business performance was basically similar to that in the first half of 2023. However, in 2023, a one-off profit was realized from the disposal of 67% equity interest in a subsidiary for strategic reasons, which significantly drove the Company's profit growth in the first half of 2023.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, CEO and President of China BlueChem said, “Despite the overhaul of multiple plants, the Company still performed well in achieving its target plans for the first half of 2024. During the period, the Company continued to strengthen safety production management and the overall safety situation remained stable. It actively expanded the market and increased efficiency, and continuously promoted management that strives for excellence which resulted in steadily improved governance efficiency. In addition, the Company has consistently adhered to a philosophy of green and sustainable development. Its methanol plant has been awarded the honorary title of “Energy Efficiency Leader” by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation for 13 consecutive years, and its synthetic ammonia plant has been awarded the honorary title of “Water Efficiency Leader” by the China Nitrogen Fertiliser Industry Association for 5 consecutive years.”In the production perspective, the Company continuously strengthened production and operation control, constantly improved the rationality and economy of equipment maintenance cycles, and released a 5-year rolling plan for equipment maintenance. Among them, the major overhauls of the Fudao Phase I urea unit, Fudao Phase II urea unit, and Hainan Phase II methanol unit were all completed successfully ahead of schedule, laying a solid foundation for subsequent stable operations. In the first half of the year, the Company produced 973,000 tonnes of urea, 707,000 tonnes of methanol, 445,000 tonnes of phosphate fertilisers and compound fertilisers, and 97,000 tonnes of acrylonitrile series products. Except for urea, the production of other products increased year-on-year.In terms of marketing, facing the complex and ever-changing market situation, the Company has further strengthened market analysis and priced scientifically and precisely. Meanwhile, the Company explored deeply the market competitiveness and price elasticity of products, and promoted the development of the competitive sales business of fertilisers and methanol. Additionally, the Company strengthened direct sales through e-commerce, with e-commerce direct sales volume increasing by 54% year-on-year. In the first half of the year, the Company sold 1.003 million tonnes of urea, 668,000 tonnes of methanol, 401,000 tonnes of phosphate fertilisers and compound fertilisers, and 88,000 tonnes of acrylonitrile series products.Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the increase in overall supply of urea is expected to exceed the increase in demand. Domestic urea prices are expected to be weak in the third quarter, but will improve later with the preparation of fertilisers for winter wheat. Regarding phosphate fertilisers, the overall supply is sufficient, while with the combined effects of international procurement, domestic autumn wheat demand, and the release of demand for winter storage fertiliser, the overall demand is expected to be relatively strong with prices remaining cautiously optimistic. Methanol supply is relatively abundant, while imports are expected to resume growth. Downstream demand for Methanol is expected to grow, and the cost side will provide price support. It is expected that the supply and demand situation of Methanol will change frequently,exhibiting primarily wide fluctuations in the market trend. On the other hand, both supply and demand for acrylonitrile are expected to grow, but the increase in supply will be more prominent. The market may continue to experience an oversupply, and spot prices are expected to remain weak.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, CEO and President of China BlueChem said, “In the second half of 2024, the Company will strive to ensure the safe and stable operation of production facilities, and enhance risk mitigation capabilities. At the same time, the Company will continuously optimize resource allocation, leverage locational advantages, enhance product competitiveness and further explore the potential for marketing efficiency improvement. In addition, the Company will improve refined management standards and establish a cost control indicator system. Furthermore, it will strengthen brand building, strive to create a benchmark base for green agriculture brands and emphasize digitalization, intelligence, and green and low-carbon initiatives. Moreover, the Company will promote equipment upgrades and conduct research on the development planning of green strategic emerging industries.”- End -About China BlueChemical Ltd.China BlueChemical Ltd.
