Jaina Mistry’s rating is based on the recent bid by the Pandox Consortium for Dalata Hotel Group, which is priced at €6.45 per share, valuing the company’s diluted share capital at €1.4 billion. This offer represents an 18% discount to Dalata’s freehold Net Asset Value (NAV), yet it aligns closely with Jefferies’ previous valuation of €6.60 per share, considering the impact of dilutive leases.
Despite the apparent discount to NAV, the offer is deemed fair value, which justifies the Board’s intention to recommend it. However, the market might react with some disappointment due to the discount, even though the bid offers a slight premium over the current market capitalization. This nuanced situation, balancing fair valuation with investor sentiment, underpins Jaina Mistry’s Hold rating for Dalata Hotel’s stock.
