Morgan Stanley analyst Thomas Allen makes the case in a new note to investors that the market is missing the benefits La Quinta (LQ) gains from joining Wyndham's (WYN) system. For example, he estimates La Quinta hotels will be able to drop to below a 20% OTA mix and lower their average commission rate to about 15% given this will be the first time they will be part of a larger brand network. Noting that La Quinta shareholders will still own the hotels via the spin out into the Corepoint REIT, Allen raised his price target on the stock to $23 from $21 and keeps an Overweight rating on La Quinta shares.
