Choice's Brand Advantage Sustained, Despite Temporary Headwinds Impacting Its revPAR

We don't plan a material change to our $84 valuation after Choice Hotels reported a weaker U.S. revPAR drop of 1.4% versus 0%-1.5% growth guidance due to temporary factors (weather, renovation, and calendar), offset by solid royalty rate and development growth. Shares are slightly undervalued, trading around 13.5 times 2019 EV/EBITDA. But we prefer Wyndham that trades near 11 times next year EV/EBITDA while offering similar high-single-digit annual organic EBITDA growth over the next five years....
