HOTEL SECTOR REPORT: WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE (ANÁLISIS BANCO SABADELL)

Pricing in an excessive recovery scenario. We maintain our cautious stance.
News on the Covid-19 vaccine has boosted MEL’s and NH’s share prices by +70% in the past few weeks, pricing in overly optimistic scenarios that considering there is very little visibility into the next few quarters and many doubts on consumer behaviour. A worse 2020 than initially forecast has led us to cut our estimates for both companies by >-45% in EBITDA in 2020-23e, and even though we foresee EBITDA levels in 2023 similar to 2019, debt will rise significantly (from 2.1x and 0.6x NFD/EBITDA’19 in MEL and NH, respectively to ~3x in 2023 in both cases), and thus with higher operating and financial risk. Our T.P. for MEL of € 3.50/sh. yields -35% potential. In NHH we cut the T.P. to € 3.00/sh. (-17% vs. previous T.P.), which yields -21% potential. Even assuming asset sales at current trading levels we maintain our SELL recommendation for both.
