Flash note: Strong momentum

IMS confirmation of continued trading buoyancy, allied with a currency boost, shows PPHE to be well on course to meet current year expectations. Indeed, revenue gain of 13% in Q3 (12% in the year to date) suggests that our forecast may be cautious. However, despite this and the scope for lucrative rate-led RevPAR on near-capacity occupancy, we are not revising as Q4 is a key period (particularly strong in 2013) and extensive renovations are now under way. The prospective dividend, which is well covered, has a good yield (4.3%).
