Jefferies has increased its price target for Whitbread PLC to 2,250p due to stronger-than-expected UK hotel revenue driven by solid forward bookings. Despite this, the broker maintains a cautious 'hold' rating, noting that the current valuation already reflects most challenges and limited near-term earnings growth. Whitbread's first-half pre-tax profit is expected to decline 11% to £282 million due to cost inflation, higher lease expenses, and one-off costs in Germany, alongside financial impacts from its Middle East joint venture. The company is also progressing a property disposal program, aiming to reduce food and beverage sales while expanding its hotel room portfolio, with a pending business rates review that could affect future costs.
