IHG shows resilience but little upside, says Berenberg
InterContinental Hotel Group’s (IHG) ‘asset-light’ strategy has stood it in good stead through the Covid-19 pandemic but Berenberg sees little upside.
Analyst Stuart Gordan retained his ‘hold’ recommendation and target price of £40 on the shares, which were trading at £45.28 yesterday at the time of writing.
‘Through the Covid-19 pandemic, the benefits of IHG’s asset-light strategy have shone through,’ he said.
‘Despite the devastating impact on revenue per available room, IHG’s ability to quickly react in terms of the cost base and also its lack of exposure to owned and leased properties have meant that cash burn has been negligible.’
However, Gordon pointed to the shares’ rating, on a price-earnings ratio of 23.5 times 2022 consensus estimates.
‘We therefore see little upside from here and remain at “hold”, with an unchanged target price,’ he said. |
