The score is driven primarily by improved profitability and solid free cash flow, offset by elevated leverage and a large 2025 revenue drop. Technically, the trend is strong but momentum indicators are stretched, while valuation is supportive with a low P/E and modest dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow
Consistently positive free cash flow (FCF) since 2021 and FCF of ~€338M in 2025 provide durable capacity to fund maintenance capex, service debt, and support dividends or buybacks. This sustained cash generation underpins deleveraging and long-term financial resilience.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage
Leverage near 2.9x equity leaves the company exposed to cyclical lodging demand and refinancing risk. High debt constrains financial flexibility for acquisitions or capex, increases interest expense sensitivity, and raises default risk if cash flows deteriorate.
