OUTLOOK & VALUATION
Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels (ASPHL), is a well-established hotel chain with a prominent brand and pan-India portfolio. On the positive side, ASPHL boasts long-standing industry expertise, high occupancy rates, and a proven track record of product innovation and service excellence. Their expansion plans further indicate the potential for future growth. However, potential investors should carefully consider certain risks. ASPH has a history of losses, and its reliance on a limited number of key hotels exposes it to operational concentration risks. Additionally, the Indian hospitality industry is cyclical and susceptible to seasonal fluctuations. The IPO valuation of 56.36x P/E appears to be fully priced. However the company's potential for future growth and the improving industry outlook are promising, so investors may apply for this IPO.
