Recent Price Movements and Market Context

The stock has declined by 0.71% on the day, underperforming the Sensex which fell by 0.47%. Over the past five trading sessions, the share price has fallen by 7.26%, indicating a consistent negative momentum.
Comparatively, the stock has lagged behind the Hotels & Resorts sector, underperforming it by 0.79% on the day. The underperformance extends across multiple periods: a 6.86% decline over one week versus a 2.64% drop in the Sensex, a 4.53% fall over one month against a 2.44% Sensex decline, and a notable 18.62% loss over three months while the Sensex gained 0.83%. The year-to-date performance also reflects a 5.81% decrease compared to the Sensex’s 2.39% fall.
Longer-term figures reveal a more pronounced disparity. Over the last year, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Ltd has delivered a negative return of 32.81%, while the Sensex appreciated by 7.51%. The stock’s three-year and five-year returns stand at zero, starkly contrasting with the Sensex’s 38.74% and 68.00% gains respectively. Over a decade, the Sensex surged 237.03%, highlighting the stock’s relative stagnation.
Technical Indicators and Moving Averages
The stock is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This technical positioning suggests a bearish trend with limited short-term support levels. The consistent trading below these averages often signals investor caution and a lack of upward momentum.

Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
The company’s financial results have contributed to the current market valuation. The latest quarterly profit after tax (PAT) stood at Rs.16.29 crore, representing a decline of 34.4% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. Operating cash flow for the year is at Rs.151.81 crore, the lowest recorded figure, indicating tighter liquidity from core operations.
Interest expenses for the nine-month period have increased by 29.45%, reaching Rs.17.23 crore, which adds pressure on net profitability. Despite these challenges, the company maintains a relatively low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.75 times, suggesting a manageable debt burden in relation to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation.
Return on capital employed (ROCE) is reported at 9.8%, while the enterprise value to capital employed ratio stands at 1.9, indicating a valuation that some may consider expensive relative to capital utilisation. However, the stock currently trades at a discount compared to its peers’ average historical valuations.
Over the past year, while the stock price has declined by 32.70%, the company’s profits have risen by 29%, resulting in a price/earnings to growth (PEG) ratio of 1. This divergence between earnings growth and share price performance highlights a disconnect that has persisted in the market’s assessment.
Institutional Investor Activity
Institutional investors have reduced their holdings by 0.9% in the previous quarter, now collectively owning 14.62% of the company’s shares. This decline in institutional participation may reflect a reassessment of the company’s fundamentals by investors with greater analytical resources and market insight.
Long-Term Growth Trends
Despite recent price declines, the company has demonstrated healthy long-term growth in its core business. Net sales have increased at an annualised rate of 35.50%, while operating profit has surged by 204.64%. These figures suggest that the underlying business has expanded significantly over time, even as the stock price has failed to reflect this progress.

Summary of Performance Relative to Benchmarks
The stock’s performance has been below par in both the near and long term. It has underperformed the BSE500 index over the last three months, one year, and three years. This consistent lagging behind broad market indices and sector peers underscores the challenges faced by the company in translating operational growth into shareholder returns.
While the company’s ability to service debt remains strong, and long-term sales and operating profit growth are robust, the market valuation and recent price action reflect a cautious stance among investors. The downgrade in the Mojo Grade from Sell to Strong Sell on 21 Jul 2025, with a current Mojo Score of 23.0, further highlights the market’s assessment of the stock’s risk profile.
Overall, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Ltd’s stock has experienced a significant decline culminating in an all-time low price, driven by a combination of financial results, valuation concerns, and reduced institutional interest. The stock’s underperformance relative to sector and benchmark indices remains a key feature of its recent market behaviour.
