Meliá Hotels International (ES0176252718) was trading at EUR 10.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 3:01 p.m. CEST, plus 0.69 percent versus the prior close of EUR 10.11. The price stood 18.76 percent below its EUR 12.53 52-week high, while the latest first-half figures show stronger operating revenue but a sharply lower reported bottom line.

Revenue grew in the first half

According to Finanzas on September 25, 2026, operating revenue reached EUR 1,047.40 million in the first half of 2026, compared with EUR 978.00 million in the first half of 2025. That represents growth of 7.11 percent, calculated against the prior-year figure.

The same first-half analysis put EBITDA at EUR 247.10 million and EBIT at EUR 125.00 million. Revenue from the hotel division rose to EUR 921.70 million from EUR 866.80 million, while total RevPAR increased 11.70 percent in the first half of 2026.

Cuba exit distorts net income

The income statement presents a more difficult picture below the operating level. Consolidated net income was EUR 4.10 million in the first half of 2026, while net income attributable to the parent company was negative EUR 7.50 million after a EUR 79.40 million net impact from discontinued activities linked to the Cuba exit.

Net debt stood at EUR 2,149.20 million at the end of June 2026, EUR 51.70 million below the end of 2025. For investors, the comparison separates recurring hotel demand from a one-time restructuring burden, but it also keeps balance-sheet execution central to the investment case.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Meliá Hotels International has been listed on the Spanish stock market since 1996 and is a constituent of the IBEX 35 Index, according to Meliá Hotels International. The current market value is EUR 2.2 billion as of October 2, 2026, and the 52-week range runs from EUR 6.74 to EUR 12.53.

The distance from the yearly high matters because the stock remains below the EUR 10.50 technical validation level identified in the September 25 analysis. The operating figures provide support for the hotel business, while the Cuba-related charge explains why revenue growth has yet to translate into comparable reported earnings.
