Nomura Securities maintains Neutral Gaylord Entertainment (NYSE: GET) price target of $31.00.

Analyst, Harry Curtis, reported on surprises from Q1 preannouncement, including, "1) GET’s efficiency programs (in place since 2009) gained traction, as overall system occupancy reached ~75%. 2) Margins expanded by 410bps despite total RevPAR growth of 4.9%. 3) The company spent $3mn to explore unlocking shareholder value."

"Valuation – Private Equity Could Pay $40 - We think TRT is the most logical partner for GET, given its ownership of the Omni brand. We assume that TRT’s forecasts, like ours, include additional supply growth in GET’s key Nashville, Dallas and D.C. markets."
