Range Rs 281.35-438.25. Monarch: revenue CAGR 26.4%, EPS CAGR 15.4% (FY26-29E), 49% upside.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">TajGVK Hotels shares are down about 26% in a year to near Rs 315, but Monarch Research projects revenue to grow at a 26.4% CAGR and EPS at 15.4% over FY26 to FY29E and values the stock at about 8 times FY29E, which implies about 49% upside, or a target near Rs 470, my calculation from the 1 October price. The forecast needs revenue to double from about Rs 517 crore to roughly Rs 1,040 crore by FY29, my arithmetic, which is only possible with new capacity, and EPS growing slower than revenue suggests margin pressure or dilution. The stock looks inexpensive at a trailing P\/E of about 5 on one data provider, but that figure is flattered by large other income, and other sources show a P\/E between 14 and 23. So the upside call rests on growth that has not yet appeared, and investors should check the earnings quality and Q2 results before buying.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>TajGVK Hotels shares have fallen far behind the hospitality story, with a 52-week range of Rs 281.35 to Rs 438.25 and a market capitalisation of only about Rs 1,975 crore. Monarch Research&#8217;s report, flagged in market news on 6 October, argues that the sell-off has gone too far.<\/p>\n<p>If you are wondering whether to buy after the fall, this article covers what Monarch forecasts (26.4% revenue and 15.4% EPS growth to FY29E), the maths behind the 49% upside and the implied TajGVK Hotels target price from Rs 314.90, the TajGVK business including Taj Krishna and its Hyderabad concentration, the valuation, why the stock may have fallen, how to read other income and EBITDA, how it fits among hotel stocks, the risks and what to watch.<\/p>\n<p

Large other income makes the low P\/E unreliable, so the upside is an estimate and not a certainty.
