Asian Hotels (East) Shows Mixed Financial Performance Amid Stabilization Efforts

Asian Hotels (East) has recently undergone a financial trend adjustment, reflecting a flat performance for the quarter ending September 2025. The company's score has shifted positively in recent months, indicating a stabilization in its financial metrics.
Key indicators reveal a mixed performance landscape for the hotel and resort operator. On a positive note, the Debtors Turnover Ratio stands at a robust 23.95 times, showcasing effective management of receivables. However, challenges persist, particularly with a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) at a low 9.26%, which may signal inefficiencies in generating returns from its capital investments. Additionally, the Debt-Equity Ratio is notably high at 1.55 times, suggesting a significant reliance on debt financing.

Net sales for the quarter have declined to Rs 26.07 crore, reflecting a decrease of 9.7% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Furthermore, the Earnings Per Share (EPS) has reached a low of Rs -4.04, indicating ongoing profitability challenges.

In terms of market performance, Asian Hotels (E) has underperformed relative to the Sensex across various time frames, particularly year-to-date, where it has seen a decline of 17.73% compared to the Sensex's gain of 8.72%. Over the longer term, however, the company has shown resilience, with a 5-year return of 83.37%, albeit still trailing behind the Sensex's 93.28% return in the same period.
