Most Popular Narrative: 5% Overvalued

Scandic Hotels Group last closed at SEK101.4 compared with a widely followed fair value narrative of SEK96.75. The market is therefore pricing in a premium to that story and to the 10.49% discount rate underpinning it.

The planned full acquisition of Dalata’s operations, after an initial period of management fee income and with guidance for at least 15 to 20% EPS accretion based on 2024 pro forma figures, signals further scope for earnings growth once the portfolio is fully consolidated.

Rapid rollout of the Scandic Go economy concept, including new openings in Sweden and Finland, a first hotel in Oslo and signed projects in Tromsø, Stavanger and central Stockholm, creates additional room capacity at lower capital intensity that can lift revenue while supporting margins.

Result: Fair Value of SEK96.75 (OVERVALUED)

Still, a broader slowdown in Nordic or UK and Ireland travel, or a prolonged drag from Finland, could quickly challenge the current Scandic Hotels Group narrative.

Another View: SWS DCF Model Flags Deep Undervaluation

The analyst fair value story pegs Scandic Hotels Group at SEK96.75 and frames the stock as about 5% overvalued. A different lens tells a very different story. The SWS DCF model estimates fair value at SEK292.04 per share, which implies the current SEK101.4 price could be far below that cash flow based mark. This raises the question of which anchor to treat as more reliable when the gap is this wide.

Before leaning on either signal, it helps to understand how the cash flow maths are built and where the biggest sensitivities sit in that SEK292.04 figure. Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
