UBS upgrades Whitbread earnings forecasts after strong trading boosts growth outlook

UBS has raised its earnings forecasts for Whitbread PLC following stronger-than-expected first-half trading results. The bank increased its price target to 3,150p from 2,975p and maintained a 'buy' rating, reflecting optimism about Whitbread's growth prospects driven by a robust UK hotel market, improved cost control, and progress in its Accelerating Growth Plan. UBS also raised adjusted earnings per share forecasts for 2027 and 2028 and expects continued revenue growth, particularly in the UK and Germany. The next key event is the UK budget announcement on October 28, which could impact the hospitality sector through wage and relief measures.

Whitbread's earnings forecast upgrade by UBS is the subject here, with Pluang's Consumer Cyclical sector data providing context. For readers following this sector, of 134 priced US stocks on Pluang, 45 rose and 86 fell today. Notable movers include SE at USD 89.08 with a -5.00% change, ATER at USD 0.54 with a -3.74% change, and AMZN at USD 259.11 with a +3.64% change, as of Oct 19, 2026 21:12 WIB.
