Analysts on Godrej Properties Q1 earnings

JM Financial noted that Godrej Properties reported healthy first-quarter FY26 pre-sales, in line with JM Financial’s estimate. The strong performance was driven by a solid response to new launches in Bengaluru and Noida, it added. 

 

During the quarter, the company spent ₹2,000 crore on land and approvals, resulting in a net cash outflow of ₹1,400 crore, largely funded through debt.

 

JM Financial believes the company is on track to meet its annual guidance across all key metrics, supported by its well-diversified presence across India’s top six markets and strategic expansion into Tier-2 cities. It maintained 'Buy' with a slightly revised target price of ₹2,600 per share.    

Antique Stock Broking said that Godrej Properties, with a strong presence across all four key housing markets, remains a major beneficiary of the ongoing housing upcycle.

 

Antique expects the firm to comfortably exceed its FY26 guidance, backed by a diverse launch pipeline and strong sales execution. Demand trends remain steady, with healthy absorption across markets and a robust project pipeline.

 

However, the brokerage cautions that sustaining high pre-sales growth and margins may become challenging given its already elevated base. It maintained 'Buy' with a revised target price of ₹2,723 apiece.
