Zorija, that might currently be correct but that is changing, as most can see by their own energy costs. Commercial establishments are going to have to deal with much higher laundry costs, big wage increases not to overlook maintenance and replacement costs from everything from light bulbs to crockery.
The hit will only be seen when contracts have to be renewed and if occupancy drops due to people and companies pulling in their own spending, will the dominos start to topple imo.
Target sub £4. The trend seems to be set already looking at the charts. |
Energy consumption represents between 3 percent and 6 percent of hotel operating costs according to a quick google search.... |
With the world wide increase in energy costs and food, how long will it be before many hotels become unaffordable for business travelers?

On a website search I note IHG is offering £1k joining sum of money for new recruits; makes me wonder if service sector has, through its treatment of staff during covid19, deterred people from joining the industry? |
The experts talked of rotation into cyclical shares and now they are backing away claiming delta variant has affected lifting of lockdown restrictions However, Health Secretary wants July to be the month all restrictions are lifted.
IHG is in the middle of it all. The August update will show the fallout from delta variant but will the City relate the shares if occupancy rate and revenue beat estimates? |

Intercontinental Hotels Group: Even Pricier But Still A Quality Operator
...So at this price, I am only mildly bullish on IHG. Nonetheless, especially for one willing to take a long-term view, the investment thesis that IHG is a quality operator worthy of a premium is borne out by the latest results. I remain bullish, on a long-term view, although if buying in right now, I think there is better value elsewhere in the U.K. market. |
The leading index is down 4.31 points or 0.06% at 6621.63, with InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (LON.IHG) the biggest faller. Its shares are down 172p or 3.29% at 5054p as Deutsche Bank downgraded the group following its figures on Tuesday.
Analyst Andre Juillard said: "Following IHG's 2020 results yesterday, we updated our forecasts...as well as our recommendation - from Buy earlier to Hold, with price target revised from 5,600p to 5,380p.
In our view, the business remains robust, and poised for outperforming the broader accommodation market through its exposure to midscale segment, to high growth geographies (North America and China) and through domestic demand. However, much of this seems in the price now, with the stock having run up around 12-13% year to date."
