Is Benares Hotels overvalued or undervalued?

As of 20 November 2023, Benares Hotels has moved from an expensive to a very expensive valuation grade. The company is currently overvalued, with a PE ratio of 29.99, a Price to Book Value of 7.51, and an EV to EBITDA of 20.42. These ratios indicate that the stock is trading at a premium compared to its earnings and assets.
In comparison to its peers, Benares Hotels' PE ratio is significantly lower than that of Indian Hotels Co, which has a PE of 66.81, and ITC Hotels at 65.26, both of which are also classified as very expensive. However, its EV to EBITDA ratio is more favorable than EIH's 22.27. Despite recent stock performance showing a 23.53% return year-to-date compared to the Sensex's 5.63%, the high valuation metrics suggest that Benares Hotels may not sustain its current price levels in the long term.
