Week in Review - Lodging

CONSUMER CYCLICALS

Accor (Snr; NR, BBB-, BBB- S); 28's -10bps, Equities +11% | Booking.com (A3, A-; S); 28's ~unch, Equities -8%

We flagged Accor's Snr 26/28's as rich after cash lines rallied with equities on Thursday morning post-earnings - at the time it was trading tighter than even higher rated staple WOW's - its since reversed wider but we still think the name trades tight. For those want lodging exposure Booking.com (A3, A-; S) screens cheaper - the the A-rated name only gives up 28bps on Accor's 28's while the 26's trade tighter now (9-month term extension to BKNG26's).

Even in isolation the BKNG curve screens attractive to us - strong liquidity & earnings growth ahead with leverage targets that are unch should see the credit look past the recent equities noise (-8%).
