Melia Hotels International stock (ISIN ES0176252718) traded at EUR 9.768 on September 17, 2026 on its primary listing in Madrid, down 0.6 percent from a prior close of EUR 9.830 as investors weighed the group’s latest operating trends and first-half 2026 recovery figures.
First-half 2026 shows continued recovery
According to Ad-hoc-news.de on September 17, 2026, MarketScreener reported that Melia Hotels International published its second-quarter and first-half 2026 results on July 31, 2026, confirming the group’s ongoing post-pandemic recovery in core hotel operations.
The same overview, based on data from Ad-hoc-news.de, highlights that for fiscal year 2025 Melia’s owned-and-leased hotel revenue reached EUR 1.82 billion, while EBITDA stood at EUR 440 million and operating profit at EUR 206 million, underscoring the scale of the group’s hotel portfolio.
Historical figures in the same source show that owned-and-leased hotel revenue rose from EUR 1.75 billion in 2024 to EUR 1.82 billion in 2025, an increase of about 4 percent, even as EBITDA edged down from EUR 449 million to EUR 440 million, pointing to a slight squeeze on margins despite higher top-line revenue according to Ad-hoc-news.de.
Stock price and trading context in September 2026
Per the price snapshot cited by Ad-hoc-news.de, Melia Hotels stock closed at EUR 9.768 on September 17, 2026 on the Spanish market after a prior close of EUR 9.830, which represents a day-on-day decline of around 0.6 percent as investors consolidated gains following the July 2026 results.
The same report notes that as of September 17, 2026, a MarketScreener snapshot showed Melia Hotels shares at EUR 9.702 at the Cboe Europe close, with a premarket indication of EUR 9.828, illustrating modest intraday fluctuations around the EUR 9.70–9.80 band across European trading venues according to Ad-hoc-news.de.
The July 31, 2026 results release, as referenced by Ad-hoc-news.de, has kept the stock trading clearly above the historical revenue levels seen in 2024, but the slight erosion in EBITDA between 2024 and 2025 indicates that margin progression, rather than pure revenue growth, may be the key focus for investors going into the next quarterly update.
Investor view: margins and balance between growth and profitability
For retail investors, the quantified comparison between 2024 and 2025 owned-and-leased revenue and EBITDA provides a concrete backdrop for assessing valuation: a roughly EUR 70 million increase in revenue paired with a EUR 9 million decrease in EBITDA suggests that Melia Hotels has been prioritizing volume growth and occupancy, while accepting slightly higher operating costs and investment to sustain the recovery, as summarized from the figures carried by Ad-hoc-news.de.
In practical terms, the stock price zone around EUR 9.70–9.80 as of September 17, 2026 places Melia Hotels shares in a range where the market appears to be balancing the improved revenue base against the still-sensitive hotel margin profile and the cyclical nature of leisure and business travel demand highlighted by the fiscal-year 2025 figures referenced via Ad-hoc-news.de.
