Sobha Developers released its 2QFY14 operational performance data on Friday. The company demonstrated robust sales value growth of 20% YoY, underpinned by average price realisation growth of 13% YoY and growth in area sold of 6% YoY. Consequently, the company is on track to achieve its target of Rs26bn worth of new sales for FY14 (up 17% YoY for the year).
We continue to view Sobha as the best play in the real estate sector with strong cash generation, a strong brand built around project execution, and prospects of prudent long-term capital utilisation. Our project-based DCF model generates a fair value of Rs482/share (51% upside). We reiterate our high conviction BUY stance.
