On Tuesday, UBS initiated coverage on Oberoi Realty (NS:OEBO) Ltd (OBER:IN) stock with a Neutral rating and set a price target of INR 2,230.00. The firm highlighted Oberoi Realty's strong presence in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), which is the largest market in Indian real estate, and its focus on the luxury segment. This segment has experienced notable growth over the past two to three years.
The analyst from UBS underscored the positive momentum in the Indian property sector, expressing a constructive outlook. Oberoi Realty's emphasis on high-end residential developments in MMR, a robust pipeline for both residential and commercial launches, and a healthy balance sheet were cited as strengths. The company's leverage is close to zero at the net debt level, which further adds to its solid financial footing.
Despite the strengths mentioned, UBS believes that the anticipated earnings growth for Oberoi Realty is already reflected in the current stock price. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for earnings is 22% from the fiscal year 2024 to 2029, compared to a 17% CAGR from 2015 to 2020. The price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio stands at 3.5 times for the coming year, leading to the Neutral stance.
The UBS analyst pointed to the company's upcoming projects as potential catalysts for the stock. These include the new launches like the one on Pokhran Road and the company's initial venture into the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR (NYSE:VYX)). The market's response to these launches and the timing of their introduction will be crucial factors in the company's performance.
Oberoi Realty's future trajectory will be closely watched, especially as it expands its portfolio and enters new markets, which could influence the company's stock performance in the competitive Indian real estate sector.
