Jefferies Maintains BUY on Sunteck Realty with ₹575 Target Price, Sees 35% Upside
Jefferies Backs Sunteck Realty on Growth and Valuation Tailwinds
Jefferies has maintained its Buy rating on Sunteck Realty, with a target price of ₹575, implying a 35% upside from the current market price of ₹427.00. The brokerage's stance reflects confidence in the developer's execution amid a period of strong operational momentum in the luxury real estate market.
Financial Performance Drives Confidence
For the full year, the company reported a 32% year-on-year revenue growth, while EBITDA grew by 64% and PAT increased by 34%. Pre-sales for the full year grew 25% to reach ₹3,157 crore, while fourth-quarter pre-sales alone crossed the ₹1,000 crore mark.
The brokerage highlighted the company's 31% year-on-year pre-sales growth in Q1FY26, calling it a strong start to the year, albeit in line with expectations. The sales mix was well distributed across projects, with uber luxury and premium luxury segments driving a larger share of presales.
Balance Sheet Strength and Expansion Plans
Sunteck continues to exhibit exceptional financial prudence, reporting an industry-leading Net Debt to Equity ratio of 0.06x. Cash flow management remained a key strength, with annual collections rising 14% to ₹1,433 crore and a net cash flow surplus of ₹552 crore, representing a 48% year-on-year increase.
Management remains optimistic about demand momentum, guiding for ₹110 billion worth of new project launches over the next nine months. This is aimed at supporting the company's 30%+ sales growth target for FY26. Strategic expansion in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) was a major highlight of the year, as the company added three high-value projects to its pipeline with a combined estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately ₹5,000 crore. These additions include a 1.75-acre outright land acquisition near the Mumbai International Airport with an estimated GDV of ₹2,500 crore, a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) in Mira Road valued at ₹1,200 crore, and a residential redevelopment project in Andheri with a potential GDV of ₹1,100 crore.
Valuation Discount Supports Rating
Jefferies emphasized that the stock is currently trading at a 39% discount to its net asset value (NAV), making the valuation compelling. The stock's current valuation—trading at a 37% discount to NAV—limits downside risk. It sees room for re-rating once construction milestones improve and cash flow visibility strengthens.
