Accor: Strong Q4 Performance, Accelerating Unit Growth, and Robust Cash Generation Underpin Buy Rating

In a report released today, Simon LeChipre from Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on Accor SA, with a price target of €58.00.

Simon LeChipre has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, notably the company’s robust fourth‑quarter performance, where revenue per available room and like‑for‑like EBITDA both exceeded expectations. He also highlights the acceleration in net unit growth as a key sign that Accor is successfully expanding its hotel network, which should support future earnings and scale benefits.

Moreover, he points to strong free cash flow generation as reinforcing the company’s financial flexibility and shareholder value potential. The ongoing Essendi asset sale remains on schedule, and the marginal uplift in its reported book value is interpreted as encouraging within the final negotiation phase, collectively strengthening the positive investment thesis for Accor’s shares.

In another report released on February 3, TipRanks – Anthropic also initiated coverage with a Buy rating on the stock with a €52.00 price target.
