An innovative growth strategy in a blessed industry

Despite the multiplication in digital intermediaries and momentum in alternative offers, hotel groups in the tourism industry all generated a record level of earnings in 2017. Prospects remain attractive with growth in tourist numbers gaining speed, underpinned by flows from new regions, especially China. However, changes prompted by technological developments (AI, IoT, Voice Technology or blockchain) are far from over, requiring groups to remain particularly innovative at the risk of being left behind. In this backdrop, AccorHotels boasts undeniable assets in the hotel industry. We have upgraded our FV to EUR55, the average between a DCF and an SOTP.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
