Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
Recent financial disclosures have contributed to the subdued sentiment around Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Ltd. The company reported negative results in the quarter ending September 2025, with a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.16.29 crores, reflecting a decline of 34.4% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. Operating cash flow for the year was recorded at Rs.151.81 crores, the lowest level observed in recent periods. Additionally, interest expenses for the nine months ending December 2025 increased by 29.45% to Rs.17.23 crores, adding pressure on profitability.
Despite these challenges, the company maintains a relatively low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.75 times, indicating a manageable debt servicing capacity. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at 9.8%, while the Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio is 1.9, suggesting the stock is valued expensively relative to its capital base. However, it is trading at a discount compared to the average historical valuations of its peers in the Hotels & Resorts sector.

Shareholder Participation and Market Sentiment
Institutional investors have reduced their holdings in Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Ltd by 0.9% over the previous quarter, now collectively holding 14.62% of the company’s shares. This decline in institutional participation may reflect a cautious stance given the company’s recent financial results and stock performance. Institutional investors typically possess greater analytical resources and tend to adjust their portfolios based on fundamental assessments.
Over the past year, the stock has generated a negative return of 38.61%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which posted a positive return of 7.54% over the same period. The stock’s underperformance extends beyond the last year, with returns lagging behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, indicating a persistent trend of below-par performance.
Growth Trends and Operational Highlights
Despite the recent price decline and earnings pressure, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Ltd has demonstrated healthy long-term growth in its core business metrics. Net sales have increased at an annualised rate of 35.50%, while operating profit has surged by 204.64% over the same timeframe. These figures suggest that the company has been able to expand its revenue base and improve operational profitability, albeit not yet translating into consistent bottom-line growth.
The company’s Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio stands at 1, indicating that the stock’s valuation is aligned with its earnings growth rate. However, the current Mojo Score of 23.0 and a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 21 Jul 2025, reflect the cautious stance of rating agencies based on recent financial and market developments.

Summary of Key Metrics
The stock’s recent decline to Rs.121.6 marks a significant technical milestone, reflecting a combination of subdued earnings, increased interest costs, and reduced institutional interest. While the company’s long-term sales and operating profit growth remain robust, these have not yet translated into sustained earnings growth or stock price appreciation. The current valuation metrics and rating grades underscore the challenges faced by Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Ltd in the prevailing market environment.
Market participants will note that the stock’s performance contrasts with the broader market indices, which, despite recent volatility, have maintained levels closer to their 52-week highs. The company’s ability to manage costs and capital efficiently, as indicated by its low Debt to EBITDA ratio, remains a positive factor amid the ongoing price weakness.
Conclusion
Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Ltd’s fall to a 52-week low of Rs.121.6 highlights the pressures facing the company in a competitive Hotels & Resorts sector. The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers, combined with recent financial results and rating downgrades, has contributed to the current valuation and market sentiment. While the company continues to show growth in sales and operating profit, the recent earnings decline and increased interest expenses have weighed on investor confidence, reflected in the stock’s trading below all major moving averages and reduced institutional holdings.
