A middling, slow-growing business, fairly priced.
Orient Hotels is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 14.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.77× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at 9%/yr. Book value has grown 12%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 8.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 24% versus the prior quarter.
At 46× earnings, the stock sits at the 48th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~21%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

7% CAGR — growing but slowly.
The latest year saw a +70% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 18% — no major structural shift. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
8% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Cash conversion at 1.8× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 17% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 24% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (15% → 10%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 68.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Both FII and MF added last quarter — broad institutional confidence.
