Antique Stock Broking said Godrej Properties is likely to surpass its pre-sales guidance in FY26, supported by a strong and diversified project pipeline, resilient demand across markets, and execution strength. The brokerage expects Godrej Properties' pre-sales to touch around ₹35,000 crore in FY26 and believes the company will also meet its guidance on collections, deliveries, business development, and launches.
However, Antique has marginally cut its FY27 and FY28 pre-sales estimates by 2 per cent each to ₹38,500 crore and ₹42,400 crore, respectively. It has also reduced the embedded EV/Ebitda multiple to 6x from 8x, citing expectations of low double-digit pre-sales growth.
Despite the revisions, Antique noted that GPL, with a meaningful presence across all five key housing markets, remains well-positioned to benefit from the sustained momentum in the housing sector. The brokerage maintained its 'Buy' rating on the stock but lowered the target price to ₹2,049 from ₹2,723.
