Simon LeChipre has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that underscore Accor SA’s strong operating momentum and upside potential. He expects the upcoming FY25 results to showcase a particularly robust fourth quarter in terms of revenue per available room, which should translate into EBITDA growth at the upper end of the company’s medium-term objectives. In his view, this performance signals that the group’s business fundamentals remain sound and that management is executing effectively on its strategic and financial plans.
Furthermore, LeChipre anticipates that the current positive trajectory will extend into 2026, supporting confidence in sustained earnings growth. He also points to the planned completion of the Essendi disposal as an important near‑term catalyst that could streamline the portfolio and unlock additional value. Taken together, these operational strengths and corporate actions are expected to help close Accor’s valuation discount relative to its U.S. competitors, providing scope for the share price to appreciate from current levels.
