Nomura Securities on Lodging Sector: Improved Ecomonic Outlook Supports Higher RevPAR and Estimates

Analyst, Harry Curtis, said, "4Q11 RevPAR should be in a range of 6%-8% for most lodging operators under our coverage and this trend has continued into 2012. We believe this higher range will persist, so we are revising our RevPAR outlook to ~ 6.5%, up from a range of 5% 5.5%. We are also factoring in modest multiple expansion to a range of 11x-12x, up from 10x-11x, yet below 2004-07 period of 12x-13x. We expect more upside despite recent outperformance. In our view, if our RevPAR growth estimate is reasonable for the next 12 months, there is ~15% upside potential remaining in the group with the exception of MAR, our favorite lodging stock, which our target price suggests has upside of 24% remaining this year.
