As previously reported, Wells Fargo analyst Jeffrey Donnelly downgraded La Quinta (LQ) to Market Perform from Outperform following its deal to dispose of its management/franchise operations to Wyndham (WYN). The overall value of the sale of the LaQuinta brand and the CorePoint Lodging REIT spinoff is slightly lower than his prior expectation, said Donnelly. He notes that Wyndham is purchasing the LaQuinta brand operations for $8.40 per share net and now believes the equity in CorePoint is $11.75-$12.50 per share, which implies a value range of $20.15-$20.90 for the combined entity. Shares of La Quinta are currently trading near $20 per share.
