Hotel Properties Swings to $39.1 Million H1 Loss on Higher Costs and Travel Woes Hotel Properties reported a net loss of S$39.1 million for the first half ended 30 June 2026, reversing from a net profit of S$11.4 million a year earlier as travel disruptions and higher costs weighed on performance.
Management highlighted that hotel operations remain under pressure from elevated operating expenses tied to the Middle East conflict, increased fuel prices and geopolitical uncertainties that could also affect the pace of interest rate cuts.
Hotel Properties shares last traded at S$4.70, with the stock up 3.5% over the past day.
The swing into loss and management’s cautious tone point to ongoing earnings risk for Hotel Properties if travel demand stays soft and costs remain high. Investors are likely to focus on how quickly operating conditions and financing costs stabilise. Aankondiging • Aug 01

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk.

In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns.
