    WHO ARE THE BULLS AND BEARS IN GLOBAL LODGING MARKETS?
    (2015-12-16) Barreda, Albert A.; Kizidag, Murat
    This article looks at the values of market-based equities (common stocks) based on the relative investment valuation, analyzed with several earnings multiples in global lodging markets in 2014. To be specific, we compare the value of various common stock portfolios sorted for four geographical regions with those relative value investment metrics so that we can make a solid judgment about bullish and bearish markets demonstrating investors’ confidence or stagnancy, anomalies in prices indicating under and overvalued stocks, and outperforming lodging portfolios in global markets. Common stock prices in portfolios are standardized, utilizing earnings parameters such as Current Price/Earnings Ratio (PE) and its variants (Trailing and Forward PE), Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG), and The Market Value of Debt and Equity free of Cash-to-EBITDA (Value/EBITDA). Linking the relative value with earnings proxies and the stock portfolios, which are extracted in a homogeneous industry but are sorted from heterogeneous regions, primary findings of this study reveal that western and eastern markets have outperformed the Latin markets in regard to future earnings estimate, earnings growth, and excessive returns from the invested capital.

    Responding to the Asian Financial Crisis: Malaysian Capital Controls and Their Implications for Tourism
    (1999) Sadi, Muhammad Asad
    The Asian financial crisis has had an impact on both the Malaysian economy and its tourism industry. This paper summarizes recent developments and critically examines the capital controls imposed as part of the government S response strategy and their consequences. Issues addressed relate to the relationship between economic movements and tourism with a conclusion that recovery of the tourism sector is likely to be hindered by current economic policy unless sound strategies are put in place in the process.

    Factors Impacting Capital Expenditures in the Quick Service Restaurant Industry
    (2017-12-15) Jiang, Lan; Dalbor, Michael
    The purpose of this article is to study the factors that impact capital expenditures in the quickservice restaurant industry. The authors hypothesize that growth opportunities, free cash flow, size, corporate earnings, economic conditions, and franchising status will have impact on the capital expenditures of quick-service restaurants. This study analyzed capital expenditure and other financial data on quick service restaurants for the period 2006–2016. Results suggest that corporate earnings, size, cash flow, economic conditions, and franchising have a significant relationship with capital expenditures, while growth opportunities are not associated with capital expenditures. Specifically, a high degree of corporate earnings, large size, and a high degree of cash flow tend to be associated with a high degree of capital expenditures; while favorable economic conditions and franchising tend to be associated with a low level of capital expenditures.

    Intangible Assets Valuation in the Hospitality Industry
    (2019-01-01) Du, Ruixue; Li, Yuan; Singal, Manisha
    In publicly traded firms, there is usually a discrepancy between the market value and the book value of the firm, often due to the valuation of intangible assets. Understanding this discrepancy is import- ant for investors, especially in the service industries like hospitality, where there is considerable industry disruption and consolidation. In this study we examine the effect of four intangible asset investments—research and development (R&D), training, advertising, and pension—on the market premium of restaurant firms. Using a longitudinal sample of 1,421 firm-year observations, the results of our analyses show that R&D, training, advertising, and pension are all important valuation con- structs in the hospitality industry, and their effects on market premium vary by restaurant type. This study fills the gap in the current literature by providing a quantitative method to value intangible assets in the hospitality industry. The practical implications of this study will provide managers in the hospitality industry with helpful insights for strategic decision making, specifically regarding R&D, advertising, and employee compensation.

    An Investigation of Leasing Practices In The Hotel Industry
    (0200) Upneja, Arun; Schmidgall, Raymond S.
    Leasing of equipment has increased dramatically in the United States. According to the Equipment Leasing Association of America, total leasing in 1999 reached $226 billion (www.elaoa.com). Despite the popularity and widespread use of leasing, there is a paucity of literature in hospitality on leasing, as the existing literature focuses only on the advantages and disadvantages of leasing. There were three major objectives for this study. Given the scarcity of statistical information on leasing in the U.S. hotel industry,, the first objective was simply to collect statistical data on the magnitude of leasing in the U.S. hotel industry; the second was to find out which reasons for leasing were important to hotel operators in the decision-making process; and the third was to find out which of the four IRS provisions trigger the capitalization of leases in the hotel industry. A survey of the lodging section of Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals was conducted in the spring of 2000. Some of the preliminary results indicate that protection against obsolescence, uniform cash outflows, and tax advantages of leasing were the most cited reasons for leasing equipment. Transfer of ownership and bargain-purchase options were the two most cited reasons for triggering the capitalization of the leases. A majority of the respondents (58 of 66) also indicated that they expect leasing to either stay at the same level or marginally increase from the current levels.

    Performance of Exchange- Listed Lodging Firms during the Great Lodging Depression of the 1980s and Early 1990s
    (1999) Upneja, Arun
    Extensive literature in hospitality finance indicates that the lodging depression of the 1980s spanned the years 1980-92 and that the entire industry was losing money for most of that period. For example, Hanson (1994) claims that "after operating at a loss in every year since 1982, the U.S. lodging industry will again be profitable in 1993." However, there are many reasons to believe that exchange-listed lodging firms may have had a different picture than the industry as a whole. This paper discusses some of those reasons and focuses on the profitability of lodgng firms listed on the major stock exchanges. The results presented show that the exchange-listed lodging firms were generally profitable during the depression years and that the percentage of lodging firms reporting losses during this period was not very different from the overall percentage of all listed firms reporting losses.

    AHFME Academic Member 2000 Total Annual Earnings Survey
    (2002-01-01) Schmidgall, Raymond
    This study was conducted to determine the 2000 annual earnings of hospitality financial management educators. Fifty-five percent of AHFME's members affiliated with educational institutions responded. Annual base salaries ranged from $28,000 to $125,000. The lowest-paid member is an assistant professor while the highest-paid member is a full professor. Most respondents supplement their base salaries by teaching during summer school and doing consulting work. The total annual earnings of members ranged from $38,000 to $200,000. Hospitality financial management educators appear to be more highly compensated than hospitality industry financial executives.
