Jefferies remains bullish on Godrej Properties Ltd., maintaining its 'buy' rating with a target price of Rs 1,750, indicating a potential upside of 32% from the current level. The brokerage highlights an "extended growth horizon" for Godrej Properties, supported by aggressive project acquisitions, robust pre-sales growth, and strong execution capabilities.
Key Positives
Over the past four years, Godrej Properties has expanded aggressively, leveraging acquired projects to multiply asset value by approximately eight times, as per the note. The company's recent Rs 6,000-crore equity raise—representing over 50% of its net worth—will support its ambitious growth plans, it adds.
Jefferies noted that the funds will enable Godrej Properties to surpass its fiscal 2025 pre-sales guidance of Rs 25,000 crore, targeting Rs 30,000 crore instead.
Already, Godrej Properties has achieved pre-sales of Rs 12,750 crore in fiscal 2025-to-date, a 51% year-on-year increase. The addition of new land parcels, coupled with higher asset price realisation, has bolstered margins, with Jefferies projecting robust profitability.
Launch Pipeline And Geographical Expansion
Godrej Properties plans to launch 10 new projects across Tier-I cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Kolkata by the third quarter, further boosting its growth trajectory, stated the report. The pipeline includes expansions into high-growth regions such as Noida and Hyderabad. Jefferies credits the company's strategy of refraining from speculative land deals and prioritising premium locations for its consistent performance.
Valuation and Outlook
At 17 times the price-to-earnings ratio on financial year 2025 pre-sales, Jefferies believes Godrej Properties is undervalued relative to its growth potential.
