In an exchange filing dated October 4, Godrej Properties announced that its Q2 FY25 booking value grew 3% year-on-year to nearly Rs 5,200 crore, achieved through the sale of over 5.1 million square feet. This marks the highest-ever Q2 booking value in the company's history. Moreover, Godrej Properties posted its highest-ever H1 booking value in H1 FY25, with a growth of over 89% year-on-year to more than Rs 13,800 crore.

Analysts at Nuvama Institutional Equities remain bullish on Godrej Properties and have upgraded the stock to 'Buy' from 'Hold', setting a target price of Rs 3,415 per share. The brokerage firm attributes this upgrade to the improved cash flows and the recent stock price correction. Nuvama analysts believe that the turning housing cycle will continue to drive strong sales momentum for Godrej Properties. They also note that the company has demonstrated a consistent operational scale-up through steady new launches and robust sales in these projects.
One of the key strengths of Godrej Properties is its geographically diversified development portfolio. The company has a significant presence in key markets such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, and NCR. This diversified portfolio has helped the company increase its market share in these city markets, driven by RERA regulations and the growing preference for organized developers among customers.
However, analysts also highlight some risks, including the company's low involvement in certain group MoUs and the rapid pace of portfolio expansion, which has strained cash flow. Despite these risks, the overall outlook for Godrej Properties remains positive.
