SOBHA DEVELOPERS
Reco price/date: Rs 336/January 6;
Current/target price: Rs 323.5/Rs 460
Sobha Developers (SDL) reported a dismal sales volume for Q3FY14 which sets tone for a guidance miss during FY14E, the brokerage now expect SDL to achieve 3.7 million sq ft in pre-sales and Rs 2,300 crore in new sales value. SDLs muted Q3FY14 sales volume is largely attributable to fewer high volume launches. The brokerage do not see any collateral damage yet on the demand offtake as quality supply has reduced with 45 per cent of the real estate developers facing balance sheet stress. Second, quality developers properties have delivered appreciation in prices and continue to see buyer accretion. Also Southern markets affordability remains strong whilst they deliver a better value in terms of quality & timeliness vs Northern & Western peers. Besides NRIs are increasing their share of property investments into the home markets exploiting the currency windfall. Recommend Buy.

KRBL
Reco price/date: Rs 34/January 3;
Current/target price: Rs 38.3/Rs 48
CRISIL Research reiterates its fundamental grade of 3/5 on KRBL. It has consistently posted superior financial performance vis-à-vis peers in the past five years. A strong brand and efficient working capital management have enabled KRBL to tap growth in the basmati rice industry. Demand for basmati rice at home and overseas has been robust in the past five years; analysts expect this trend to continue. Revenues are expected to grow at a two-year CAGR of 22 per cent to Rs 3,100 crore in FY15. Higher paddy prices could reduce Ebitda margins from 15.4 per cent in FY14 to 14.5 per cent in FY15. Net profit is expected at Rs 220 crore in FY14 and 230 crore in FY15.
