Whitbread downgraded by Kepler

Kepler Cheuvreux has cut Whitbread (LON:WTB) to ‘reduce’ from ‘hold’ on the back of the hotel and restaurant company’s latest set of interim results.

The broker said: “Whitbread posted H1 results more or less in line with expectations, but with light guidance, especially for profitability.

“Even if the group is doing some sale and lease back deals to keep a reasonable leverage, we see ever more uncertainty ahead.”

Analysts have left their target unchanged at 3,500 pence a share, implying around 5 per cent potential downside.

Separately, Credit Suisse, which rates the Premier Inn and Costa Coffee owner’s shares as ‘neutral’, cut its price target to 4,030 pence from 4,360 pence.

Meanwhile, Societe Generale reaffirmed its ‘hold’ recommendation but cut its target to 4,100 pence from 4,220 pence.

It commented: “Whitbread has published 1H results in line with or slightly above consensus estimates. Nevertheless the Costa business is disappointing and the pace or new rooms to be opened will slow.”




At 2:36pm: (LON:WTB) Whitbread PLC share price was -143.5p at 3555.5p
