Stock Idea - Hotel Leela.

>> Friday, August 29, 2008

Scrip: - Hotel Leela.
BSE Code: - 500193
CMP: - 31

Summary: -
Hotel Leela has been listed on the stock exchanges of Indian i.e. BSE & NSE since 19th of July 1995.
It is in Hospitality industry from a long Time.
The company has four fully functional hotels all over India i.e. at Mumbai, Goa, Bangalore & Kerela.
It comes in a luxury Hotel segment. Its Bangalore property has been rated as one of the best business hotel.
It current market capital is 1200 crores with a PE ratio of 8 per share of face value of Rs.2/-.
The company is planing to double the capacity by 2010 and tripple by 2012 i.e 12 hotels in all.
Logically if it starts eight new hotels their cost of building, licensing, etc would be approx 400 crores per hotel i.e. 400 x 8 = 3200 crores.
And at present the company's market capital is 1200 crores which would add 3200 crores to it.
So assume the market cap is 5500 crores approx which surely tipple the stocks value by the same period.
Another key factor is the zooming land rates.
Development in economy and development in tourism will add to scrips hidden value.
So keeping the long term factor in mind one can accumulate this scrip at any rate within Rs.32/-.
I would keep a price target of Rs.150/- approx by the end of 2010.

Financial Highlights: -
With the current EPS od 3.97 and a face value of 2 with a market cap of 1200 it looks undervalued.
Operating income increased by 50% compared to lats year.
From mere 7 cr net profit in 2004 and now at 120 cr net profit this stock looks very attractive and cheap.

Key positive: -
A dividend paying stock.
Good long term perspective.
Undervalued.
Lots of developments taking place.
Good management.
