Oberoi Realty Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Oberoi Realty's revenue will grow by 26.3% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will shrink from 42.1% today to 37.1% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach ₹39.4 billion (and earnings per share of ₹114.11) by about May 2028, up from ₹22.3 billion today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting ₹49.8 billion in earnings, and the most bearish expecting ₹26.3 billion.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 26.8x on those 2028 earnings, which is the same as it is today today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the IN Real Estate industry at 32.5x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to remain consistent over the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 14.62%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Oberoi Realty Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• The company relies heavily on the luxury segment, which might face slower sales if there is an economic downturn affecting consumer spending power, potentially impacting revenues and profit margins.
  
• The management has indicated a slowdown in launch activities during the monsoon quarter, leading to gaps in project launches and possibly affecting revenue consistency.
  
• There are substantial projects in the pipeline that are expected to launch over the next few years, but delays in getting necessary approvals or unexpected market changes could impact expected timelines, affecting future revenue streams.
  
• While the response to the Sky City Mall has been positive, it is not yet fully leased, which may affect rental income projections. This uncertainty could impact net margins if the targeted rentals are not achieved.
  
• Although focusing on premium projects, there's a risk of unsold inventory remaining for extended periods, as seen with 360 West, potentially impacting cash flow and tying up capital that could otherwise be used for other revenue-generating activities.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of ₹1932.391 for Oberoi Realty based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of ₹2650.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just ₹1175.0.
  
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be ₹106.4 billion, earnings will come to ₹39.4 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 26.8x, assuming you use a discount rate of 14.6%.
  
• Given the current share price of ₹1641.6, the analyst price target of ₹1932.39 is 15.0% higher.
  
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
