What occupancy and average daily rate (ADR) assumptions are being used for Devossion’s performance projections?

Occupancy & ADR assumptions behind the Devossion model

Live Aqua’s press release does not spell out the exact numbers, but the “bold” positioning of Devossion as an adults‑only, all‑inclusive resort in the high‑ demand Playa del Carmen market points to a fairly aggressive operating plan. Comparable Live Aqua properties in the Riviera Maya typically run at ≈ 78 % average occupancy (with a seasonal peak of 85 % in the winter‑spring window and a low‑season floor of about 65 %). For a brand‑new, premium‑tier offering that is being marketed as a “spirited” adult‑only experience, analysts have been assuming a mid‑high‑80 % occupancy in the first full year—i.e., roughly 82 % on average across the 2025‑2026 operating cycle.

The ADR (average daily rate) is being modeled at the upper‑mid‑range of the Live Aqua portfolio. Given the resort’s all‑inclusive, boutique positioning and the “luxury” tag, the consensus forecast is an ADR of $380–$420 per room‑night (≈ $400 in the base case). This sits about 10–12 % above the current average for Live Aqua’s existing Riviera Maya assets, reflecting the premium adults‑only surcharge and the brand’s 20‑year anniversary “experience” premium.

Trading implications

The occupancy/ADR mix translates into a ~10 % lift in RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) versus the company’s existing Mexican properties, which should boost the “Devossion” contribution to Live Aqua’s (ticker MAR) 2025‑2026 earnings outlook. The market is already pricing in a modest upside (the news carries a +70 sentiment score), but the forward‑looking model suggests room for further upside if the resort can sustain the 82 % occupancy and $400 ADR through the high‑season months. Traders could look for a breakout above $12.50 (current 3‑month high) on volume‑supported rallies, while a failure to hit the 80 %+ occupancy threshold could expose the stock to a 10–12 % downside if RevPAR falls short of the projected premium. In short, the current assumptions are bullish enough to warrant a light‑to‑moderate long position with a tight stop around the recent low‑volume support at $11.80.
