The shares fell 7.2% to 65.9p yesterday.EasyHotels year-end trading update shows good trading from its hotels and adjusted [earnings] is expected to be £1.4-£1.5 million, he said.However, the opening of the new hotels in both Liverpool and Manchester is now expected to be in late 2016 and we adjust our forecasts accordingly. Ways to accelerate the strategy implementation are being looked at and will be updated in December. We believe that the owned and franchised hotel model is working and retain our buy recommendation, but cut our target price from 117p to 100p on lower forecasts.He added that new chief executive Guy Parsons has a strong track record of building out budget hotels, opening one every 10 days at peak for Travelodge and he is currently looking at how the strategy can be accelerated as well as how the core operation disciplines may be improved."
