Hotels Marriot (MAR) (HOT) (WYN) Looking to India for Growth

The emerging middle class in India with increasing expendable income is becoming a target for the hospitality industry, including hotel chains Marriot International (NYSE:MAR), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide (NYSE:HOT) and Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE:WYN).

Marriot has already entered into a preliminary deal with India's SAMHI Hotels to expand its Fairfield brand in India.

There is no doubt a lot of potential, but the companies must be patient, as the business atmosphere in India can be stifling and frustrating, although the country is slowing becoming more investment-friendly.

Infrastructure is also being improved and labor is inexpensive at this time.

Gross domestic product in India is growing at an 8 percent rate, and that should be sustainable for years.

Marriot was trading at $34.04, down $0.15, or 0.44 percent, as of 12:44 PM EDT. Starwood was at $56.53, down $0.51, or 0.89 percent. Wyndham was trading at $31.02, falling $0.41, or 1.30 percent.

Wyndam (NYSE:WYN), Intercontinental (NYSE:IHG), Choice Hotels (NYSE:CHH), Interval Leisure (Nasdaq:IILG) Top FBR Hotel Picks

Commenting on the hotel sector, FBR said their favorite picks at this time are Wyndam (NYSE:WYN), Intercontinental Hotels (NYSE:IHG), Choice Hotels (NYSE:CHH) and Interval Leisure Group(Nasdaq:IILG), based on strength in the upper-upscale segments.

FBR noted, "In our view, we see good investing opportunities, especially in names that have higher exposure to the upscale, midscale, and the economy segments where RevPAR is beginning to outpace gains in the upper-upscale segments. The names we favor most are Wyndam, Intercontinental Hotels, Choice Hotels , and Interval Leisure Group, with the common characteristic being greater exposure to chain scale segments, high-single- to low-double-digit free cash flow yields, and opportunity for valuation multiple expansion, which we see as less likely in names such as Host (NYSE:HST), Marriott (NYSE:MAR), Starwood (NYSE:HOT), and Hyatt (NYSE:H).

"So far, quarter-to-date transient and group segment trends are shaping up to be stronger than in the third quarter of this year. We observe all U.S. transient occupancies to be higher by 180 bps (was +150 bps in 3Q), group occupancies to be higher by 230 bps (was +200 bps in 3Q), transient ADR to be tracking higher by 4.1% (was +4.4% in 3Q), and group ADR to be tracking +0.7% (was –1.0% in 3Q) through the quarter to date ending December 4. Of note, group ADR trended higher by this magnitude for the first time since late 2008."

Wyndam closed Wednesday at $31.02, down $0.06, or 0.19 percent. Intercontinental Hotels closed at $19.62, level from the prior close. Choice Hotels ended the session at $39.31, up $0.30, or 0.77 percent. Interval Leisure closed at $17.08, down $0.26, or 1.50 percent.

Wyndham (NYSE:WYN) FBR's Top Pick in Real Estate/Lodging & Gaming

FBR Capital sees the Real Estate/Lodging & Gaming continue to rise in 2011, and their favorite in the overall sector remains Wyndham (NYSE:WYN), based primarily on cash flow management.

"The combination of history and recent operating results leads us to the conclusion that lodging stock outperformance should last at least another two years. Rate-driven RevPAR growth and margin expansion are in their early stages. In our view, the sector offers 10%-20% upside in both 2011 and 2012. For the lodging sector, we believe history continues to be an excellent guide as to when stocks will peak. This lodging stock cycle is nearly two years into its upswing, which compares to the six years from trough to the early 1998 peak and to the six years to the mid-2007 peak. The upward portion of the lodging stock cycle has lasted for several years, and there has been plenty of opportunity to ride the up-cycle even if one was unable to time the bottom (on average, lodging stocks climbed 75% in 2003, 62% in 2004, and 56% in 2005 from trough to peak)," said FBR.

"Our FBR Top Pick remains Wyndham WW (NYSE:WYN), although we expect a rising tide to lift all boats. We continue to recommend overweighting the sector at this time. Reasons for WYN as our FBR Top Pick include management’s commitment to managing for cash flow plus the ongoing transition to “asset-lite”—the latter, we believe, could lead to continued valuation multiple expansion."

Wyndham closed Monday at $30.21, down $0.20, or 0.66 percent.
