ICICI Securities research report on Sobha
Sobha Ltd. (SOBHA) achieved Q2FY23 gross sales bookings of 1.34msf worth Rs11.6bn vs. Isec estimate of Rs11.0bn and is the best ever quarter for the company in value terms for sales bookings. While the company had earlier guided for flattish gross sales volume of ~5.0msf in FY23E (4.9msf in FY22) citing cost input pressures and rising mortgage rates, the strong start to FY23 had led to the company revising its FY23 guidance to 10-15% YoY volume growth and 15-20% YoY value growth. Given the strong H1FY23 performance in spite of rising mortgage rates and strong launch pipeline, we believe that the company is well on track to achieve its FY23 guidance and we maintain our FY23E and FY24E gross sales booking value estimates of Rs45.5bn and Rs49.0bn, respectively.
Outlook
We maintain our BUY rating with an unchanged SOTP based TP of Rs808/share. Key risks to our call are a slowdown in residential demand and a rise in the company’s debt levels.
