Long Term & Short Term Investing Always Invest Minimum For 4.8 Year.  You Can Get Better Then Mutual Fund    Longterm Investing Minimum Time is 4.8 Year. For Longterm Investment I Prefer 1000-1500 CR Market Cap Company Below 3 Year I Invest in SME /MicroCap. Small Company High Risk So Can’t Assume 5-10 Year Plan.

Cosmic Collision: DLF & Oberoi Realty Clash in Real-Estate Space◉ Abstract The Indian real estate market is growing fast and is expected to reach $1 Trillion by 2030. Two big companies in this field are DLF and Oberoi Realty. DLF makes most of its money from commercial properties mainly through rental income, while Oberoi Realty focuses on homes. Both companies are doing well, but Oberoi Realty is growing faster and making more profit. DLF's stock price might go up soon after being stable for a long time. Oberoi Realty's stock has been going up steadily. Both companies don't have too much debt and are attracting investors. DLF seems expensive when you look at its price compared to earnings, while Oberoi Realty looks like a better deal. Oberoi Realty is also spending more on growing its business. In the end, both companies are in a good position to benefit from India's growing economy and increasing demand for real estate. ◉ Introduction The Indian real estate sector has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing demand, policy reforms, and infrastructure development. Two prominent players, DLF Limited and Oberoi Realty Limited, have been at the forefront of this growth, shaping the country's urban landscape. Both companies have established themselves as leaders in the industry, with a strong presence in residential, commercial, and retail segments. ◉ Indian Real Estate Sector: Future Growth Prospects India's real estate market is expected to register significant growth in the coming years, driven by a number of factors. Here's a quick summary of the key trends: ● Market size and GDP contribution: The market size is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030, up from US$ 200 billion in 2021, and contribute 15.5% to GDP by 2047. ● Residential market growth: The residential market is witnessing strong growth, with the value of home sales reaching an all-time high of Rs. 3.47 lakh crore (US$ 42 billion) in FY23. Demand is surging in top 8 cities across mid-income, premium, and luxury segments. ● Retail and office space: The retail and office space segments are also growing rapidly. Gross leasing in top 7 cities crossed 60 million sq ft for the first time in 2023, with technology companies leading leasing activity. ● Data centers: Data center demand is on the rise, with an expected increase of 15-18 million sq ft by 2025. ● Housing shortage: There is a significant housing shortage in urban areas, with the current shortage estimated at 10 million units. An additional 25 million units of affordable housing are required by 2030. Overall, the Indian real estate sector presents a promising picture for growth and development. The sector is benefiting from a number of factors, including a growing economy, rising urbanization, and increasing disposable incomes. This is leading to strong demand for both residential and commercial properties. ◉ Company Overviews ● DLF NSE:DLF DLF Limited, along with its subsidiaries, focuses on colonization and real estate development across India. Their activities encompass land acquisition, project planning, construction, and marketing. The company specializes in developing and selling residential projects, while also managing commercial office spaces and retail properties, including malls and hospitality ventures.

It also leases office and retail spaces. Additionally, it manages hotel operations, which include room sales, food and beverage services, and related offerings, as well as constructing residential apartments and providing property management services. Established in 1998, the company is based in Mumbai, India. ◉ Market Capitalization ● DLF - ₹ 2,26,256 Cr. ($26.8 B) ● Oberoi Realty - ₹ 68,970 Cr. ($8.2 B) ◉ Relative Strength The chart vividly demonstrates that neither company has managed to surpass the performance of the real estate sector over the past year. The realty sector has achieved an impressive return of 94%, while DLF and Oberoi Realty have delivered returns of 73% and 67%, respectively. ◉ Technical Aspects ● DLF ➖ Since its listing in July 2007, DLF reached an impressive peak of ₹ 1046 in January 2008. ➖ However, the stock faced a significant decline following the Lehman Brothers crisis later that year. ➖ After enduring a lengthy period of consolidation lasting eight years, the price stabilized around ₹ 66 in February 2016 and began its upward trajectory. ➖ Now, after nearly 17 years of consolidation, the stock is trading just below a critical resistance level, with a breakout anticipated in the near future. ● OBEROIRLTY ➖ Since its launch in December 2010, Oberoi Realty has shown a consistent upward trajectory ➖ During this ascent, the stock formed a Bullish Pennant pattern, and after breaking out, it surged to an all-time high of ₹ 1970 in September 2024. ➖ Currently, it is trading just below this peak. Analysts expect the stock to continue its upward momentum and reach new heights in the coming days. ◉ Revenue Breakdown ● DLF DLF mainly generates its revenue from real estate development, concentrating on both commercial and residential areas. Significantly, the commercial real estate sector contributes a considerable 74% of the company's total revenue, largely through rental income. ● OBEROIRLTY The company predominantly earns around 97% of its revenue from the real estate development sector. Furthermore, it also participates in the hospitality industry, which adds the remaining 3% to its overall revenue. ◉ Revenue & Profit Analysis ● DLF ➖ Over the past three years, DLF has recorded a modest compounded annual growth rate of 6% in sales. ➖ Despite this, the company has seen remarkable profit growth, which surged by 33% during the same timeframe. ➖ Currently, DLF enjoys a robust operating profit margin of 33%, an increase from 30% in FY23. ➖ In fiscal year 2024, earnings per share have jumped to 11.02, up from 8.22 the previous year, reflecting a consistent upward trend in EPS over the last four years. ● OBEROIREALTY ➖ In the last three years, Oberoi Realty has achieved an impressive compounded annual growth rate of 30% in sales. ➖ Profit growth has closely mirrored this success, with a CAGR of 34% during the same period. ➖ The company currently boasts an outstanding operating profit margin of 55%, a figure that continues to rise. ➖ While the EPS growth from FY23 to FY24 is modest, with EPS standing at 52.99 compared to 52.38 the previous year, the overall trend in EPS has been positive over the last four years. ◉ Valuation ● P/E Ratio ➖ DLF's current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 79.6, slightly exceeding its 1-year median P/E of 76.7. However, when juxtaposed with the industry average of 34.4, it becomes evident that DLF is significantly overvalued at this time. ➖ In contrast, Oberoi Realty presents a P/E ratio of 31.50, which is just above its 1-year median P/E of 29.6. Yet, when compared to the industry P/E of 34.4, it appears to be undervalued. ● P/B Ratio ➖ DLF's price-to-book (P/B) ratio is 5.74, indicating a substantial overvaluation relative to the industry average of 3.54. ➖ Similarly, Oberoi Realty also seems overvalued with a P/B ratio of 4.98. ● PEG Ratio ➖ Oberoi Realty's PEG ratio of 1.83 positions it as an attractive investment opportunity, especially when compared to DLF's considerably higher PEG of 4.79. ◉ Profitability Analysis ➖ DLF ROCE - 6% in FY24 ➖ OBEROIRLTY ROCE - 15% in FY24 ➖ These numbers clearly demonstrate that Oberoi Realty is more profitable than DLF, as it efficiently leverages its total capital—comprising both equity and debt—to yield higher returns. ◉ Capex Analysis ● DLF ➖ The cash flow statement for DLF reveals a negative capital expenditure, indicating that the company is selling or disposing of its existing capital assets. ➖ This suggests a strategic decision to reduce its portfolio of office spaces and similar fixed assets, as they are no longer deemed necessary. ● OBEROIRLTY ➖ In contrast, Oberoi Realty has ramped up its capital expenditure from 601 crore to 677 crore compared to the previous year. ➖ This increase is a positive sign for the company, reflecting its ambition for expansion and growth in the market. ◉ Cash Flow Analysis ➖ DLF has demonstrated impressive growth in its operating cash flow, rising to 2,539 crore from 2,375 crore in FY23. ➖ Oberoi Realty has also performed exceptionally well, transforming its cash from operations to an impressive 2,810 crore, marking a significant recovery from a considerable negative of 2,383 crore in FY23. ◉ Debt Analysis ➖ DLF demonstrates robust financial health with a manageable debt level of 4,894 crores and an impressive debt to equity ratio of just 0.12, signaling that debt is not a significant issue for the company. ➖ On the other hand, Oberoi has a debt of 2,495 crores, resulting in a debt to equity ratio of 0.18, which indicates that the company is also not worried about its debt situation. ◉ Shareholding Pattern ● DLF ➖ Currently, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) possess a 16.17% stake, reflecting a decline from the previous quarter. ➖ On the other hand, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have increased their holdings to 4.81% as of the June quarter, a slight rise from 4.77% in the last quarter. ● OBEROIRLTY ➖ Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have made a notable increase in their investment in this stock, now holding 18.05%, up from 16.96% in the last quarter. ➖ Conversely, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have reduced their stake to 12.30%, down from 12.83% in the March quarter. ◉ Conclusion After a comprehensive assessment of the technical and financial metrics, we have concluded that Oberoi Realty has surpassed DLF in terms of valuation, profitability, revenue growth, and future expansion prospects. However, this does not imply that DLF cannot enhance its performance in the future. In fact, DLF is on the verge of a significant multi-year breakthrough, and if this happens, it could create an excellent opportunity for investors to take advantage of any price declines. In the end, both companies exhibit strong growth potential as they are leaders in the real estate sector. As the economy continues to grow, both Oberoi Realty and DLF are well-positioned to capitalize on this expansion.

JKCEMENT looks bullishHere's a detailed look at JK Cement's chart that caught my eye. 1. Resistance Zone: The stock faced strong resistance around ₹4,500, with multiple rejections at this level over the past few months. This was a tough barrier to crack! 2. Higher Highs and Higher Lows: The trend has been bullish, with a clear formation of higher highs and higher lows, signaling strength in the uptrend. 3. Support Level: We see solid support around ₹3,624, where buyers have consistently stepped in to push the price back up. 4. Inverted Head & Shoulders Pattern: A textbook inverted head and shoulders pattern has formed near the support level. This is typically a bullish reversal pattern, and it's exciting to see it play out here! 5. Breakout Alert: The stock has broken out of the neckline of the inverted head and shoulders pattern, moving above the previous resistance level. This breakout is a strong buy signal, pointing to potential further gains. 6. Trade Setup: I've got my eyes on this one. Entry on the breakout, with a stop-loss just below the support level, and a target way above, giving this trade a fantastic risk-to-reward ratio. This is a classic setup for those who love technical analysis! Let’s see how this plays out. Do your own analysis before investing!

Technical Aspects ● In January 2008, the stock reached an impressive peak of ₹71 but subsequently faced a significant decline. ● The price eventually stabilized around ₹8, leading to an extended period of consolidation. ● During this time, a Rectangle pattern, often referred to as the Darvas Box pattern, took shape. ● After breaking out of this pattern in May 2023, the stock price surged past its previous strong resistance level in October 2023. ● Since then, the stock has maintained its upward momentum and is currently trading just shy of its historical high of ₹226. ● Expectations are high that this momentum will sustain and lead the stock to reach new peaks in the near future. Relative Strength ● The chart clearly illustrates that Electrosteel Castings has greatly outperformed the Nifty Smallcap 250 index, boasting an impressive annual return of 219%, which is truly an outstanding achievement. Revenue Break-up ● Product wise break-up ➖ The primary source of the company's revenue comes from the production of Ductile Iron pipes and fittings, which alone makes up about 86% of its total income. Additionally, the company manufactures Cast Iron pipes, contributing roughly 2.8% to the overall revenue. ● Location wise break-up ➖ The company generates nearly 88% of its revenue from India, where it holds a 28% share of the domestic market. The remaining 12% of its income is sourced from international markets. Revenue & Profit Analysis ● Over the last three years, this stock has recorded an impressive compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29% in sales. Additionally, the total profit growth during this period has been remarkable, achieving a staggering 97% CAGR. ● Furthermore, the company has successfully maintained an operating profit margin of 16%, a notable increase from 10% in FY24. ● For the fiscal year 2024, earnings per share (EPS) have surged from 5.31 in fiscal year 2023 to an impressive 11.97. Currently, the EPS for the past twelve months is at 14.69. ● A closer look at the quarterly results shows that the company reached a record high in quarterly sales, reporting 2,012 crore in June, up from 2,004 crore in the March quarter. This figure significantly exceeds last year's June quarter sales of 1,685 crore. Product Demand Analysis ● Inventory Turnover Ratio ➖ Current Inventory Turnover - 1.82 ➖ Inventory Turnover 3 years ago - 1.70 ➖ These figures indicate that product demand has risen over the past three years. Valuation ● P/E Ratio ➖ The company's current price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is 15.3, which is below its one-year median PE of 15.8. Compared to the industry average PE of 36.76, this suggests that the stock is significantly undervalued at present. ● P/B Ratio ➖ The stock seems to be undervalued, with a price-to-book (PB) ratio of 2.67, particularly when compared with the industry average PB ratio of 5.52. ● Intrinsic Value ➖ Electrosteel Castings is presently priced at ₹220, which is significantly below its intrinsic value of ₹258, suggesting that the stock is currently undervalued. ● Peg Ratio ➖ A PEG ratio of 0.47 suggests that the stock is undervalued relative to its expected earnings growth.
