Pending Restel deal adding upside
We see a solid operating case evolving for Scandic Hotels given its market-leading position with a record pipeline of 4,775 new rooms, supported by RevPAR growth and the pending acquisition of Restel, indicating the next step in building a Nordic powerhouse. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and SEK130 target price given its still-attractive valuation. We expect Q3 sales growth of 6.9%, with an unchanged EBITDA margin, with the results due on 26 October.Scandic Hotels Group AB is a Sweden-based company engaged, along with its subsidiaries, in the operation of hotels.
