After Adani Stocks, GOG Partners’ Next Big Bet On This Hotel Stock; Do You Own It?
In just 1 day, GOG Partners portfolio gains Rs 28,17,61,981 from this hotel stock.
After making substantial investments in Adani Group companies, GQG Partners, a prominent US-based global equity investment firm, has reportedly turned its attention to a hotel stock. Their previous investments within the Adani Group illustrate a pattern of significant stake acquisition, including 1.46 per cent in Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited, 2.17 per cent in Adani Energy Solutions Ltd, 1.65 per cent in Adani Green Energy Ltd, 1.61 per cent in Adani Enterprises Ltd, 1.77 per cent in Adani Power Ltd, and 1.48 per cent in Ambuja Cements Ltd. This move into the hospitality sector signals a diversification strategy, suggesting GQG's confidence in the hotel industry's growth potential.
The specific percentages of GQG Partners' Adani holdings—ranging from 1.46 per cent to 2.17 per cent—demonstrate their investment philosophy of securing meaningful ownership positions. This consistent approach to acquiring notable stakes across various Adani companies indicates a likely similar strategy for their new hotel investment. The market is now keenly observing which hotel stock has attracted GQG's attention, and whether this new investment will yield returns comparable to their Adani ventures!
