目前台灣旅館業尚且是各擁山頭,各自獨立打併,未見南霸主或北霸主直接併購所欲開發地區的旅館集團(一間間收購倒是有),直接加速全台旅館市場的重整與洗牌,不知是業主們客氣了,還是評估很久但難以下手之檯面下巨浪滔天?其實蠻多中階品牌的旅館可以統整統整… Oops…。

PARIS (Reuters) – France’s AccorHotels (ACCP.PA) has agreed to buy Movenpick Hotels & Resorts for 560 million Swiss francs (411.4 million pounds), as CEO Sebastien Bazin pursues his expansion drive in emerging markets.
路透社 巴黎報導─ 法國雅高酒店集團已同意以5億6000萬瑞士法郎(折合約4億1140萬英鎊,166億6170萬新台幣),因雅高酒店集團執行長 Sebastien Bazin 持續進行在新興市場擴展集團版圖)
Shares in AccorHotels climbed 1.5 percent, outpacing flat performances on the broader Paris FCHI and European markets, as analysts and investors welcomed the deal. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s Kingdom Holding company (4280.SE) has a 5.7 percent stake in Accor.
由於分析師與投資者喜見該項併購交易案,雅高酒店集團股價上漲1.5%,優於法國40指數與其他歐洲股市的表現平平。而沙鳥地阿拉伯王子 Alwaleed bin Talal 的王國控股公司(沙烏地阿拉伯股市代碼 4280.SE) 持有5.7%的雅高股份。
“Movenpick marks an acceleration towards its (Accor’s) development in the luxury part of the sector, as well as the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific,” said Roche Brune Asset Management fund manager Meriem Mokdad, whose firm has nevertheless decided not to own Accor shares at present due to the group’s debt levels.
法國Roche Brune 資產管理公司的基金經理 Meriem Mokdad 表示:「瑞享酒店集團對於雅高酒集團的奢華酒店區以及中東、非洲與亞太區市場塊起了一個加速發展的作用。」不過,該資產管理公司因雅高集團目前的債務水平狀況而決定不持有該集團的股份。
Analysts at UBS and Bernstein also said the deal looked positive, adding the price paid was reasonable. UBS kept a “buy” rating on Accor shares, while Bernstein has an “underperform” rating on the stock.
瑞銀集團與聯博資產管理公司的分析師同樣也表示該項交易看來是正面的,而所支付的價碼也合理。瑞銀對於雅高股票保持「買進」的評等,至於聯博資產管理公司則是以「表現平平」來評斷雅高集團股票。
