Melia Hotels International stock (ISIN ES0176252718) is trading at EUR 9.65 on Bolsa de Madrid as of September 20, 2026, leaving the shares below but not far from the 12?month average analyst target of EUR 11.36 EUR based on recent broker estimates compiled this month.

Stock price levels and analyst targets

According to Investing.com on September 20, 2026, Melia Hotels shares trade on Bolsa de Madrid under the ticker MEL at a last price of EUR 9.65, giving the group a market capitalization of about EUR 2,130.0 million as of that date.

The same analyst overview from Investing.com shows a 12?month average price target of EUR 11.36 for Melia Hotels, implying an upside of roughly 17.8 percent from the current level when the data were compiled.

Broker views underpin the valuation

Within that consensus, the analyst table highlighted by Investing.com notes that UBS maintains a Hold recommendation with a price target of EUR 11.50 as of August 4, 2026, while Deutsche Bank rates the shares Buy with a target of EUR 13.00 from July 10, 2026.

Summarizing these views, the portal reports that six analysts recommend buying Melia Hotels stock and two advise selling, resulting in an overall Buy stance as of the latest update in mid?2026 according to Investing.com.

Fundamental recovery and travel demand

Melia Hotels International, headquartered in Palma de Mallorca and active in the cyclical consumer, hotels and leisure services sector, has been rebuilding occupancy and room rates as international travel recovers, a trend reflected in broker expectations and the positive consensus around the stock, as seen in the data compiled by Investing.com.

The distance between the current share price of EUR 9.65 and the Deutsche Bank price target of EUR 13.00 underscores that some analysts still see more than 30 percent potential upside if Melia can deliver on its earnings trajectory and sustain cash flow improvements, based on the figures cited in the July 10, 2026 rating referenced by Investing.com.

Stock remains below peak but supported

For investors, the key question is how quickly Melia Hotels can close the gap between its current market value of about EUR 2.13 billion and the earnings power assumed in analyst models, which point to a higher intrinsic value than the present price level indicated by Investing.com.

At the same time, broader hotel and leisure peers are benefiting from ongoing recovery in tourism, but Melia shares still trade at a discount to some of the more global operators, which may reflect investors’ caution about the pace of normalization in European holiday travel relative to the optimistic targets cited in the analyst consensus overview by Investing.com.

Closing price and trading venue

As of September 20, 2026, Melia Hotels stock changes hands at EUR 9.65 on Bolsa de Madrid under the ticker MEL, with the company’s market capitalization standing at roughly EUR 2,130.0 million based on the latest trading data, anchoring the valuation discussion for retail investors weighing exposure to the post?pandemic travel rebound.
