Jefferies has maintained its ‘Buy’ rating on DLF Ltd with a target price of Rs. 1,000, indicating an upside of 32.11 percent from the current market price (CMP) of Rs. 756.95. Jefferies views DLF as a strong cash-flow generating company, supported by a high-quality land bank and excellent product delivery. While near-term profits may remain flat, margins are improving, and underlying sales are expected to reflect in reported numbers by FY28. The firm maintains a Buy rating, noting the stock trades below its historical Net Asset Value (NAV), offering an attractive risk-reward.
DLF Ltd, along with its subsidiaries and partners, is a real estate developer involved in land acquisition, project planning, construction, and marketing, while also providing leasing, power generation, maintenance, hospitality, and recreational services linked to its real estate operations. With a market capitalization of Rs. 1,87,368.97 crore, the shares of DLF Ltd closed at Rs. 756.95 on Friday, down by 0.15 percent from its previous day’s close price of Rs. 758.10 per equity share.
In Q1 FY26, the company reported revenue of Rs. 2,717 cr, up 99.6 percent YoY from Rs. 1,362 cr in Q1 FY25, though down 13.2 percent QoQ from Rs. 3,128 cr in Q4 FY25. Profit rose to Rs. 763 cr, a 18.3 percent YoY increase over Rs. 645 cr in Q1 FY25, but fell 40.4 percent QoQ from Rs. 1,282 cr in Q4 FY25, reflecting strong annual growth tempered by sequential seasonal softness.

While Jio’s upcoming IPO may trigger short-term tariff interventions, the company shows improving visibility for double-digit consolidated EBITDA growth in FY26.
