Posted at 17/10/2024 00:01 by philanderer Investors Chronicle..Whitbread raises dividend by 7% and targets £300mn profit growth ....Shore Capital analyst Greg Johnson said the 2030 growth targets are “consistent with our previously set out expectations for earnings per share to build comfortably beyond 300p per share over the medium term”. He added that “a material rerating” should occur if the plans are delivered. |
Posted at 10/10/2024 13:42 by philanderer "Can Whitbread show more evidence of progress amid 'soft' market?"Premier Inn owner Whitbread PLC (LSE:WTB) next Wednesday reports on its peak holiday period, with analysts hailing recent performance improvements but said the market remains unhelpful. Investors last heard from Premier Inn owner back in June after the UK hotel chain's performance improved from the end of its last financial year, but still remained down on the year before. Half-year results next Wednesday, 16 October, are expected to show a continuation of that trend. Revenue per available room (revPAR) in the UK was down 1.6% in the first quarter, reflecting both lower occupancy and room rates. Analysts at Barclays estimate that the second quarter averaged a decline of 1% in this like-for-like measure. Performance in Germany was stronger in the first quarter, with accommodation sales up 15% or 6% on a revPAR basis. The second quarter in Germany was estimated by Barclays to average 12.7%. Recently, Goldman Sachs said that while Whitbread is a business with "the appropriate strategy to take advantage of structural opportunities and a strong management team", it warned clients that the "soft" wider UK industry revPAR trends could weigh on the short-term outlook. What's more, there might have been some impact from the recent bad press for the company's advertising campaign, where complaints were made about misleading marketing about prices, leading to a slapped wrist from the Advertising Standards Authority. Whitbread has been on a restructuring drive, looking to cut costs and refocus the business on hotels with integrated restaurants. "Customers in the UK have seemed to be baulking at the higher prices which drove record levels of profits last year," said analysts at Hargreaves Lansdown. They added that investors will "want to see more progress" on the restructuring. Since falling to a 15-month low in August, Whitbread's shares are up around 15%. proactiveinvestors.c |
Posted at 06/9/2024 12:27 by dartboard1 Cushman and Wakefield released a favourable report on European (and particularly UK) hotel deal volumes. "The sharp pick up in activity has been long awaited and reflects not only clear confidence in the hotel sector, but more importantly an alignment of pricing between vendors and purchasers. With the recent reduction in base rates, now is the time for investors to step back in to the market and take advantage of expected performance and capital growth".Clearly a good place to be over the next 12 months |

Posted at 21/8/2024 16:58 by bountyhunter Not the BoD just one person who probably needed the cash for any number of possible reasons.Yes Dodger when others are sceptical may well signal a good time to buy ;-) 'Investor' is stretching it a bit. |
Posted at 08/7/2024 20:03 by m_kerr Restaurants like those PI operate generally lose money, or are marginally profitable at best.They have no scale unlike the m&b's and jdw's of the world, and over the last 20 years or so the casual dining sector has become crowded and oversupplied. Analysts have been telling them to shut them for years, and from an investors point of view its a plus. PI rooms generate far higher returns. |

Posted at 02/5/2024 20:22 by bountyhunter Maybe he's moving to a bigger house or time was running out on exercising those share options. I don't think that one transaction is "an important signal to investors". |
Posted at 02/5/2024 20:14 by philanderer Nigel Jones, Group Operations Director at Whitbread PLC, has executed a significant transaction by exercising nil cost options for over 14,000 shares, which were immediately sold for a total of around £450,000. The shares were acquired through the company’s Recruitment and Retention Scheme and Incentive Scheme, reflecting notable insider activity on 1st May 2024 in London. This move could be an important signal to investors about the company’s stock valuation and insider confidence. |
Posted at 02/5/2024 09:18 by sumday Short piece in Shares Magazine today. Briefly, Uk part of the business doing as well as can be expected. German side improving. If there is disappointment, it’s because they haven’t sold as many Beefeater and Brewers Fayre as hoped.“Investors who are short of patience may want to cut their losses but we think long-term investors will be rewarded with earnings upgrades and a re-rating of the shares, assuming management sticks to the plan.” |
