We are still buyers because current prices offer a good entry point for a company that is well-managed, has the right strategy to deal with lodging platforms, and offers significant discount to its intrinsic value. Since late last summer the stock has declined by –23%, far more than the next twelve-month EPS estimate (–10.2%), with Meliá trading at the lowest multiple of the past ten years. Regarding margin of safety, we are buying its hotels plus the brand at a significant discount. Adjusting the latest asset appraisal valued for net financial debt and the potential tax bill, we come up with a net net asset valuation per share of €13.91/share, implying a –40% discount to current prices.
