Key financials Whitbread’s profitability metrics are mixed: ROE 7%, ROA 4%, ROCE 14%, gross margin 44%, operating margin 17%, net margin 7%. Revenue and EPS growth are modest at 2% each. Leverage is high with debt/equity 1.74 and net debt/EBITDA 6.44.
Stock health Momentum is weak: down 8% over 6 months and 19% over 12 months, with RSI at 64.30. The Sideravia score ranks valuation at the 44th percentile but income at the 76th, reflecting a 3.9% dividend yield with a 79% payout ratio.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **discount** of 7.70% to our fair-value estimate of 2720.50 and a **discount** of 5.16% to the 12-month target of 2656.39. - Final orders confirmed for Brewers Fayre and Beefeater closures (PA Media: Money) - Valuation percentile 44.3/100 signals average quality and rich valuation (Sideravia) - Forward P/E 13.93 vs trailing 20.47 suggests some rerating potential (Sideravia)
Looking forward Analysts expect a forward P/E of 13.93 and PEG of 0.30, implying potential multiple expansion if cost discipline improves. However, weak momentum and high leverage remain key risks.
