MMED vs CHH Comparison

While MiniMed recently became an independent company again, it began in the 1980s as an upstart pioneer in developing and commercializing insulin pump therapy. Medtronic acquired MiniMed in 2001 and then spun it out in 2026 (though Medtronic still owns roughly 90% of MiniMed shares, which will be relayed to its shareholders as a tax-free distribution in the foreseeable future). MiniMed is the leader in traditional, tubed insulin pumps and also offers continuous glucose monitors, smart insulin pens, and other consumables.

At year-end 2025, Choice Hotels operated 657,000 rooms across the economy, midscale, upscale, and extended-stay segments. Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites are the largest brands (27% of the company's total rooms), while Ascend and Cambria (10%) are lifestyle and select-service brands, and WoodSpring (5%) is the company's largest extended-stay brand. Choice closed on its Radisson acquisition in August 2022, which added about 70,000 rooms. Franchises account for 100% of total revenue, and the United States represented 78% of total rooms in 2025.
