What is the firm’s opinion?
Stockbox said in its note on the stock that although returns on equity turned positive in FY2013, returns on assets remain relatively modest due to the capital-intensive nature of the hotel industry. Valuations, although reasonable compared to peers, reflect market optimism in the relatively high P/E. Which is 56.4 times on the basis of FY 2023 EPS. Looking ahead, Apeejay Surendra Park Hotels will utilize the net proceeds for full or partial repayment/prepayment of certain outstanding borrowings taken by the company and general corporate expenses.
