Brokerages cautious about real estate sector and company
Godrej Properties closed 2025-26 (FY26) on a strong note, beating its annual presales and bookings guidance.
The developer reported record bookings, collections and business development, exceeding most targets while falling marginally short on its collections goal.
‘The stock gained 1.6 per cent on Friday after reporting its fourth quarter (Q4) numbers but slipped on Monday. While brokerages are positive about the company’s sales, they are concerned about its ability to sustain growth amid weak cash-flow generation and muted sentiment in the real estate market.
Godrej’s Q4 bookings stood at ₹10,160 crore, which was flat year-on-year (Yo-Y) but up 21 per cent sequentially. The pan-India company sold 4,791 units — an area of 7.3 million square feet — to mark its best-ever quarterly performance.
