Growth Outlook Concerns

The brokerage has expressed concerns about the impact of the Middle East conflict on home-buying decisions, particularly expecting a slowdown in Q1FY27. This geopolitical situation is anticipated to influence consumer sentiment and purchasing behavior in the real estate market.

Jefferies has also revised its pre-sales growth expectations for FY27, trimming the forecast to approximately 6% year-on-year. This represents a significant moderation compared to the 21% growth projected for FY26.

Metric	FY26 (Expected)	FY27 (Revised)
Pre-sales Growth (YoY)	21%	~6%

Market Conditions and Valuation

The brokerage noted that interest rates and capital costs have increased by 50 basis points, creating additional headwinds for the sector. However, Jefferies believes that the sharp correction in the stock price has resulted in more attractive valuations.

Despite the challenges, the brokerage views the current valuation levels as limiting further downside risk. This factor, combined with Lodha's market position, supports the continued Buy recommendation and keeps the company as a preferred pick in the real estate sector.
