Earnings Review Aitken Spence Hotel Holdings PLC

Risk factors affecting the group’s key Maldivian destination in the form of recoveries in key markets, stability in the Euro, improvement in the Russian market, releases of new islands by the Government of Maldives, will continue to be considerations affecting the group’s long term future.  Industry cost factors and the ability to manage the same in order to drive profitability without affecting value propositions offered will also be a challenge for the industry as a whole.

 Therefore we are of the view that the near term uncertainties can continue, albeit to a lesser extent than what has prevailed in the last few quarters. As such for the less risk averse investor with a long term horizon the current share price may interpret to a purchase provided the investment meets the portfolio constraints and objectives of the respective investors/investor category. Nevertheless over the short term horizon we estimate a price of LKR 31.00 for the group given the immediate factors and thus carry a hold recommendation on the counter at the current price levels.
