PPHE Hotel Group (LSE:PPH)
Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: PPHE Hotel Group Limited is involved in owning, co-owning, developing, leasing, operating, and franchising hospitality real estate across several European countries including the Netherlands and the United Kingdom; it has a market cap of £758.44 million.
Operations: The company's revenue segments include Management and Central Services (£56.70 million) and Owned Hotel Operations across Croatia (£85.91 million), Germany (£23.33 million), the United Kingdom (£256.21 million), and the Netherlands (£64.59 million).
Insider Ownership: 13.1%
PPHE Hotel Group's strategic review, backed by insiders holding 44% of shares, explores growth capital and potential sale options. The company forecasts a robust annual earnings growth of 24.2%, outpacing the UK market. However, revenue growth is modest at 5.9%. Recent refinancing extends debt maturity to 2030 with higher interest rates but no amortization, impacting cash flow positively. While trading below estimated fair value, interest coverage remains a concern due to large one-off items affecting earnings quality.
