The earnings setback comes against a share price of SGD 4.70, with a 30 day share price return of 2.62% and a 3 year total shareholder return of 27.56%. This suggests longer term holders have still seen gains even as sentiment now looks more cautious.

Preferred Price-to-Sales Multiple of 3.4x for Hotel Properties: Is It Justified?

With Hotel Properties trading at SGD 4.70, the stock is described as expensive on a Price-to-Sales, or P/S, basis at 3.4x when compared with both the Singapore hospitality industry and its closest peers.

The P/S multiple compares a company’s share price to its revenue per share. For a hotel and property group like Hotel Properties, this measure focuses attention on the top line rather than current profitability, which can be useful given the company is reporting losses.

Here, the 3.4x P/S ratio sits well above the Singapore hospitality industry average of 1.4x and also above the peer average of 2.6x. That is a sizeable premium. It suggests the market is assigning a higher value to each dollar of Hotel Properties revenue than to its industry and peer group, even though the company is currently unprofitable and has a negative Return on Equity of 4.51%.

In parallel, the SWS DCF model estimates the future cash flow value at SGD 0.53 per share compared with the current share price of SGD 4.70. This model projects potential future cash flows for Hotel Properties and discounts them back to today using an appropriate rate. It focuses on the company’s ability to generate cash over time rather than short term earnings, which is relevant given the reported loss and interest payments that are not well covered by earnings.

Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.

Result: Price-to-Sales of 3.4x (OVERVALUED)

However, the reported net loss of SGD 105.53 million, along with interest payments that are not well covered by earnings, could challenge the premium valuation for Hotel Properties.
