Gujarat Hotels Q1 net profit up 4.7%, revenue rises 17.5%
A steady quarter for the nano-cap hotel firm, with growth driven by operations. Dividend of ₹3 per share awaits AGM approval.
What's new
- Net profit rises 4.7% YoY to ₹146.99 lakhs for Q1 FY27.
- Revenue from operations up 17.5% to ₹94.91 lakhs.
- Board sets 17 July 2026 as record date for ₹3 dividend.
Why this matters
The quarter offers no surprises but confirms the steady operating trajectory of this debt‑free nano‑cap hotelier. With a P/E of 12.4 and ROE of 10.9%, the stock is reasonably valued for its scale, but limited incremental information keeps the narrative unchanged until the AGM on 26 August.
What we're watching
- AGM on 26 August 2026 for dividend approval.
- Any guidance on occupancy or room rates in the upcoming quarters.
- Whether the trailing PAT decline of 6.8% reverses in subsequent quarters.
The full read
Gujarat Hotels posted a steady first quarter: net profit of ₹146.99 lakhs, up 4.7%, and revenue from operations of ₹94.91 lakhs, up 17.5%. Other income slipped slightly to ₹102.84 lakhs. Total income came in at ₹197.75 lakhs versus ₹186.39 lakhs a year ago. The board also set 17 July 2026 as record date for the ₹3 per share final dividend, subject to AGM approval on 26 August 2026. For a ₹70 crore market‑cap hotelier with zero debt and a 12.4x P/E, the results confirm a routine quarter with no surprises. The AGM and dividend payout are the next near‑term events, but the filing adds little new to what was already communicated in the dividend recommendation on 23 April 2026.
