Sri Lotus Developers and Realty Ltd - Robust presales; luxury demand driving outperformance - Company update
Sri Lotus’s presales for FY26 were in-line with our estimates. Q4FY26 reinforced the company’s ability to deliver robust presales growth despite broader sector moderation, aided by healthy traction across newly launched luxury projects. The management remains confident on sustaining growth momentum led by an expanding launch pipeline, resilient luxury demand from HNIs/NRIs and increasing brand salience through its “Luxury Coastline Collection” campaign. We expect strong earnings compounding over the medium term driven by accelerating launches, healthy absorption and improvement in collections. Our estimates are factoring presales/revenue/PAT CAGR of 63%/82%/73% over FY25-28E. Current valuations remain attractive given high growth visibility, net cash balance sheet and superior return ratios. Retain BUY.
Sri Lotus Developers and Realty Ltd. Stock Price Chart
Presales Momentum Remains Strong:
Q4FY26 presales surged 177% YoY to Rs 4.6bn, driven by strong demand across recently launched projects. Revenue/EBITDA/PAT grew 62%/11%/11% YoY to Rs 3.1bn/Rs 1.2bn/Rs 956mn respectively, while EBITDA margin remained healthy at 39.4%. FY26 presales rose 137% YoY to Rs 11.5bn, broadly in line with guidance, reflecting sustained demand for luxury and ultra-luxury redevelopment projects in Mumbai. Margins moderated due higher costs and the mix of properties sold during the quarter. The company maintained a strong balance sheet with net cash of ~Rs 7bn and delivered healthy ROE/ROCE of 17%/19% in FY26.
Lotus Celestial Sees Strong Initial Traction; Luxury Demand Resilient:
Newly launched beachfront project “Lotus Celestial” in Versova achieved bookings of Rs 1.6bn within seven days, highlighting strong appetite for premium sea-facing assets. The management reiterated that ultra-luxury demand remains structurally resilient and relatively insulated from macro volatility, supported by continued interest from HNIs and NRIs. Existing launches including Amalfi, Arcadian and Varun continue to witness healthy absorption, while pricing remains firm with the company targeting premium realizations across key micro-markets. .
FY27 Pipeline Provides Strong Growth Visibility:
The management guided for FY27 presales of Rs 18-20bn along with 55-60% growth in both revenue and PAT. The company plans six launches in FY27 with cumulative GDV of Rs 50-55bn across marquee locations including Prabhadevi, Bandra, Juhu and Andheri. Key launches such as Aquaria, Trident and Sky Plaza are expected in H1FY27 with approvals largely in place. Additionally, the company expects to add 4-6 new projects during FY27, reinforcing long-term growth visibility.
Valuation and Rating:
We maintain our TP of Rs 220 based on an average of NAV-based and relative valuation approaches. The stock trades at 1.4x EV/Presales FY28E and remains an attractive play on resilient luxury redevelopment demand in Mumbai. Retain BUY. Key risks: Delays in project acquisitions, approvals and execution, softer luxury demand pressuring presales and margins, poor collections, regulatory risks, and slower pipeline monetization.
