Yes good move selling Costa and focusing on the hotel business, also just about anyone can open a coffee shop with no barrier to entry and the market is saturated as can be seen in any high street. The family silver is Premier Inn not a cup of coffee.

Costa contributes less than 30% to overall pre tax, with considerably
slowing growth rates in the UK.

The sale price represented about 60% of their entire market cap,
taking the pre announcement WTB price. More than a good price imv.

Medium term challenges here are labour cost pressures and consumer spending
taking a knock.

They sold the family silver, Costa Coffee. What a mistake.

Nice write up in the IC highlighting that Premier Inn standalone will be valued at 12-14 times earnings if the costa sale proceeds. I am a big fan in these uncertain times, I like the Zip product innovation too and continue to add as this drifts lower. Budget rooms should do well in any brexit scenario but agree that labour shortages are the main risk.

Mentioned recently could the Costa gap close?.

At the time I thought it was unlikely, less sure on that now.

Ftse almost uninvestable, brexit basket case, this heading back to under 4 quid, frightening where it would be without Coke deal..in the low 3’s at best..poor management needs clearing out, Brittan coming from hopeless Lloyds didnt help. Not sure who is going to be staying in all these hotels they have kept building instead of paying a better dividend to long suffering shareholders, UK heading for hard ore recession so hotels probably not best biz to be in.

· Solid financial performance supported by tight cost control, maintaining strong return on capital

· On-plan to deliver full-year results from continuing operations

· Total UK accommodation sales growth of 4.8% and like-for-like accommodation sales growth of 0.2% impacted by weaker consumer demand

Added a few. If markets were to sell off hard could that Costs gap up from £40
close?, Find that difficult to see, but who knows.

Very tempted to add a few more for longer term,
I'm guesstimating it's the tougher proposed EU migration rules that are weighing.
Premier Inn very dependent on EU workers,
as is wider UK hospitality.

Saw a comment from the HR director of Pret saying that for every 60 job
applications they get, only 1 will be from a UK national.

Does our Home Secretary have any experience of running a private sector business.

The proportions of net proceeds to be returned to shareholders, pay off debt and reduce the pension deficit have still not been defined as far as I can see which I for one am not happy about. With shareholders expected to vote on the Costa sale quite soon how the sale proceeds are to be split should be spelt out in detail and not be left open ended and vague imo.

Questor: it may be selling Costa but Whitbread will remain an ‘extraordinary’ business
