Holder here but Premier Inn prices are rising significantly. They’re still only cleaning rooms every three days. Many can’t get staff. In fact some are not taking bookings for empty rooms because of lack of staff. Some Inns which were previously well maintained, are starting to look grubby.

Yes it is, better than I had expected.
Added XD 26 May 2022 34.7p at the end of the header, very good news and a strong hold for me as the UK hospitality sector continues to normalise.
Still below what the directors have paid - top of header.
I still view this as a potential takeover target post Costa sale and as we move out of the pandemic.

Thanks bountyhunter. Good news re the dividend.

[bountyhunter] 28/4/2022 08:04

Header updated with outlook and divi info.

[bountyhunter] 28/4/2022 07:31

Strong results with H2 trading ahead of pre pandemic levels, current trading ahead of the competition and the dividend resumed.

"Resumption of dividend payments with the Board declaring a final dividend per share of 34.7p resulting in a total dividend payment of GBP70m, payable on 1 July 2022, reflecting both the Group's encouraging trading, and confidence in the outlook."

Kepler Cheuvreux cuts Whitbread to 'reduce' ('hold') - target 2,600 (3,500) pence

[commuter10] 04/3/2022 14:34

Need to hold our nerve here.

Keep plenty of cash available for some potential high gains.

So sell off over grain prices? Beer?

[commuter10] 17/2/2022 12:28

Let's hope Ukraine situation is resolved soon then watch the shares fly!

JPMorgan reinitiates Whitbread with 'overweight' - price target 4,000 pence

[bountyhunter] 10/2/2022 17:14

onwards and upwards, breaking out to the upside :)

[bountyhunter] 09/2/2022 16:14

Regardless of the politics and the science it's looking like very good news for Premier Inn and therefore Whitbread.

We really could be on a roll from here especially given the UK focus of Premier Inn with Europe and most of the rest of the world seemingly behind the UK pandemic wise.

[citytilidie] 09/2/2022 16:11

Don’t forget the 95% of the population that want and need the country to be back open again

[philanderer] 09/2/2022 15:27

bountyhunter, spot on.

[bountyhunter] 09/2/2022 13:57

A strong day for recovery shares.
Boris pledging to lift all remaining Covid restrictions a month early must have helped, although that's clearly just another move to placate the backbenchers!

[sundial1] 01/2/2022 17:25

on the roll now finally.

Britannia has been named the UK's worst large hotel chain by Which? for the ninth year running.

It scored just two out of five stars for cleanliness, and its bathrooms received just one star, with the consumer champion saying that one guest found ‘stains everywhere’ in their Britannia room.

Topping the list was Premier Inn, which has more than 800 hotels throughout the UK and an average room price of just £66. Customers were particularly impressed by their king-sized beds and the selection between firm or soft pillows.

seems to be side tracking when will it shoot.
