EIH’s ₹111 crore swing in other income changes the conversation

Market pulse

Indian markets ended the week on a divergent note, with banking stocks managing a half-percent gain while the benchmark Nifty 50 slipped by a similar margin, pulled down by a sharp sell-off in the IT sector. While Welspun Corp, Jyoti CNC, and Balrampur Chini Mills were among the notable gainers, shares of companies like Himachal Futuristic Communications and Schneider Electric Infrastructure saw significant declines.

What the wider market is buzzing about

EIH Limited

₹303Past year ▼ 24%M.cap ₹18,942 Cr

Talk on the street this past week centered on EIH Limited, the hospitality major behind the Oberoi and Trident brands. The stock has fallen over 24 percent in the last year, but its first quarter results gave investors plenty to discuss. Revenues for the quarter grew 10 percent year on year to ₹657 crore. A significant swing in other income, from a loss of ₹66 crore to a gain of ₹45 crore, helped push profit after tax to ₹120 crore from just ₹37 crore a year ago. That prior loss was due to exceptional charges from a lease loss in Shimla. With ₹1,368 crore in cash and a new owned hotel planned in Visakhapatnam, conversations weighed the strong profit growth against a slight dip in margins.
