We will know pretty soon. Q1 will always be relatively quiet in travel and hospitality in Europe. That noted it is unusual to have a relatively weak share price performance with out some underlying reason. I hope the weakness is overdone.

Just realistic - based on challenges for the UK pub industry.

In the wider scheme of things for WTB, it's not significant, except perhaps on a short term sentiment basis.

Performance of PI is the key.

Macro outlook is hardly great, Europe PMI's awful, particularly Germany.

However, in terms of the share price,
it's worth noting WTB is often prone is fat % moves over a short timeframe. Pretty standard fare - but if they warn on the outlook then likely under £30.

The meaty BOD Sell made me cautious (I highlighted it at the time) but looking to buy back in.

It seems that there is an industry survey out this morning called STR weekly market data indicating a decline in RevPAR.

Also, an Irish hotels group called Dalata has reported figures this morning and the share price has declined by 6%.

Looks like some extrapolation has been applied and assumptions made. I think probably very tenuous.

Premier Inn owner Whitbread is a winning stock for recession - broker


Premier Inn owner Whitbread PLC (LSE:WTB) can be a “recession winner” according to analysts at Jefferies which has a ‘Buy’ rating for the hospitality stock.

The broker, in a note, highlighted Whitbread’s strategic focus on expansion and optimisation, with an eye on enhancing returns and deepening its economic ‘moat’, particularly in the UK and Germany.

"Whitbread is a recession winner with its budget price point, industry-leading price sophistication, beneficial supply conditions, and £750m of cash firepower,” Jefferies analyst team said.

"The company has a clear roadmap for further ROCE-accretive growth in the UK."

Helped by the brand power behind Premier Inn, the hotel operator benefits from cheaper customer acquisition compared to rivals – which rely heavily on third-party websites for bookings.

With 99% of Premier Inn website traffic coming directly, Whitbread benefits from lower customer acquisition costs and valuable customer data, Jefferies noted.

The broker highlighted that this approach not only supports its position in the UK but is also being adapted to suit the German market, where Whitbread aims to become the leading brand.

In terms of valuation, Jefferies points out that Whitbread's shares trade at a multiple of at 9.5 times the anticipated 2024 enterprise value to earnings (EV/EBITDA), compared to a pre-COVID average of 10.2x.

Jefferies Buy rating pitches a price target of £44.00, suggesting around 25% upside compared to its current trading price of around £35.23.

Afternoon EI.

Can't find any news today.

This from monday, which I missed, as I was actually staying in Hereford over the weekend in a Premier Inn :-)


"JPMorgan downgrades IHG, keeps Whitbread as top hotels pick"

31 Oct, 2023 09:35

JPMorgan says Premier Inn owner Whitbread remains its top pick in the European hotels sector, as it downgraded its stance on IHG from 'neutral' to 'underweight'.

With earnings season now behind us for European Hotels, JPMorgan has refreshed its forecasts for stocks in its coverage, keeping Whitbread as its "conviction 'overweight'", seeing around 40% upside potential to current prices with a price target of 4,600p.

"We continue to see WTB as best positioned – defensive offering (value/domestic), upside risk to estimates, F&B potential review, Germany optionality," the bank said.

"Whilst concerns around weakening demand trends remain on top of investors' minds, as reflected in recent share price weakness at Whitbread and Accor (both down >10% in the last six weeks), also exacerbated by potential demand pressure in the Middle-East, we have been surprised by the outperformance of IHG, and now see the risk-reward as highly unappealing."

Phil - how do you apply for card ? ( I’m with Barclays ). Sorry if this is a repeat questions.

V happy with wtb share price. Bought about 12 months ago in height of truss panic. Invested as premier inn is my preferred choice when using reasonable price hotels. (So much better than travel lodge etc).

Thanks for posting that link dd.

From the above..
"With restaurants set to re-open from Monday, we asked our Twitter followers to nominate a listed food chain as stock of the week. They’ve chosen the first item on the menu, Whitbread (WTB), which owns the likes of Beefeater and Brewer’s Fayre restaurants. After the latest winter lockdown, England has been slowly re-opening in recent months, with pub and restaurant goers able to eat and drink outside from April 12 but only do so inside from May 17."

Also there is the Staycation factor seen to be a plus for the Premier Inn hotel chain.

We could see a rise in the WTB share price tomorrow as long as vaccinations continue to appear to be effective against the Indian Covid variant.
