Goldman Sachs reiterates a 'Conviction-List Buy' on Home Inns (NASDAQ: HMIN) price target of $30.00.

Analyst, Justin Kwok, said, "HMIN announced the completion of the acquisition of a 100% interest in a regional economy hotel chain, eJia Express, for Rmb 60mn on July 1...We think M&A should benefit national chains, as it could (1) potentially be faster and cheaper than converting existing sites; (2) provide the ability to access better locations within cities."

Kwok's other catalysts for HMIN include: 1) Further consolidation; 2) Access to strategic locations; and 3) Potentially cheaper overall deal (less acquisition and rebranding costs)
