Results Toh Mast, Phir Bhi Stock Gira?
Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) ne Q4 FY26 mein numbers toh badhiya diye hain. Unka consolidated revenue 14% badhkar ₹2,765 crore ho gaya aur profit 15% badhkar ₹600 crore. EBITDA bhi ₹973 crore raha aur margin 35.2% tha. Yeh sab tab hua jab West Asia ke conflict ki wajah se company ko revenue mein ₹400-500 crore ka nuksaan aur overall ₹1,000 crore ka impact hua.
Valuation Ka Pressure Aur Broker Ke Target
Iske bawajood, stock 4% neeche gir gaya! Pata hai kyun? Investors ko company ki valuation ki kaafi chinta hai. IHCL ki market cap lagbhag ₹94,000 crore hai aur Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio 47x ke aas-paas hai, jo kaafi high mana jaata hai, jabki competitors jaise EIH Ltd (Oberoi Hotels) ka P/E 28x-33x hai. Brokerage firm Nuvama ne rating 'Reduce' se 'Hold' karke target ₹676 kiya, par investors maan nahi rahe. UBS ka target ₹900, Jefferies ka ₹800, Morgan Stanley ka ₹700 aur Elara Capital ka ₹716 hai.
Global Tensions Aur Execution Ki Chinta
Iske alawa, PM Narendra Modi ka foreign travel kam karne ka appeal bhi ek factor hai, jo domestic travel par impact kar sakta hai. Company ko execution risks bhi hain, jaise naye hotels ke opening mein delays ho sakte hain. Dubai aur Maldives jaise areas mein geopolitical conflicts ke karan temporary issues aa rahe hain. Management ne khud bhi earnings call mein thoda cautious tone rakha hai.
Aage Kya?
Management expects FY27 mein revenue 12-14% grow karega aur 60+ naye hotels khulenge. Lekin, current high valuation aur global uncertainties ke beech, company ko har chiz perfect karni padegi growth targets achieve karne ke liye. Well, ICRA ne company ko AAA+ credit rating di hai, jo ek acchi baat hai.
