4 hotel & related services stocks with an upside potential up to 33%:
After almost two decades of being ignored by the street, in the last three years hotel and hospitality related stocks have been once again in focus of the street. Travel tourism and airlines, everything related to the hospitality sector suffered the maximum damage due to Covid-19. But as they say, tough times bring the best out of some. Some hotel companies used the Covid crisis to put their house in order. While they have seen a run up in the last two years and that is why if one looks at overall estimates, analysts seem to be cautious. However there are enough hotel assets.
What appeared as revenge traveling post covid, turned out to be unstoppable traveling Indian. Probably that is the reason that in order to take advantage of our insatiable desire to travel some of the countries have removed the requirement of advance visa for Indians. If one goes by airline ticket prices, room rent and occupancy level of hotels it is very clear that both airlines and hotel prices have remained higher than normal in all seasons of the year, whether busy or off season. If one looks at the results of the hotel companies, they have turned better on many counts.
Travel tourism and airlines, everything related to the hospitality sector suffered the maximum damage due to Covid-19. But as they say, tough times bring the best out of some. Some hotel companies used the Covid crisis to put their house in order. Indications which are coming from trends in price of airline tickets, room rent and occupancy level for the holiday season it is clear that tailwinds for the hospitality sector are continuing even in the third year. Also the capacity utilization witnessed a considerable improvement leading to better margins.
It was expected that once that initial desire after staying under lockdown is over, numbers for the sector would get normalized. But to the surprise of many, the number both in terms of occupancy levels and average room rates did not come down. Particularly in the business segment, which recovered much later as compared to leisure or holiday travels, management commentary is still positive.
