Key Considerations
- 📊 The 766 room Melbourne project and the planned US$300m raise increase the scale of Hotel101's growth plans and may influence how you view its risk and return profile.
- 📊 It may be useful to monitor cash burn, the impact of the perpetual convertible preferred shares on existing holders, and how new projects affect revenue and earnings per share, which are currently at a loss of US$0.04573 per share.
- ⚠️ The company has less than one year of cash runway and a very high negative P/E of about 171, so execution risk and the terms of this capital raise are important factors to watch.
