2-Min Summary
Royal Orchid Hotels reported a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue from operations growing 26.6% YoY and room revenue surging 45% YoY, driven by the successful launch of Iconica Mumbai which contributed ₹17.4 crore in its initial months. EBITDA grew 13.8% YoY reflecting cost efficiency. The company crossed 10,700 keys across 168+ hotels with 47+ in pipeline. Management guided for ₹420 crore revenue in FY26 and reiterated the ₹500 crore target for FY27-28. Iconica is expected to turn profitable in Q4 with quarterly revenue of ₹23-24 crore, peaking at ₹28-30 crore next year. The subsidiary sale (sub-₹30 crore after tax) will strengthen the balance sheet. Risk: Non-Iconica organic growth remains in single digits, and the 47-pipeline hotel conversion timeline is uncertain.
