Keeping momentum

PPHE has consolidated a H216 recovery with a “strong” start to 2017. The 21% like-for-like RevPAR gain in Q1, albeit on weak comparatives and currency-boosted, implies double-digit yield growth in key UK and German markets, which is impressive in uncertain times. Full-year prospects remain positive, boosted by transformative investment in London and Croatia, now the subject of major fundraising by its Arena subsidiary. Potential asset sales and associated return to shareholders, as in 2016, could be a significant catalyst for a share price at a huge discount to real asset value.
