Raymond Realty Q2 Profit Falls 12% to ₹53 Cr – Analyst Targets ₹879
On 27 October 2026, Raymond Realty Ltd announced its Q2 FY27 results, reporting a 12% decline in consolidated net profit to ₹53.06 crore, down from ₹60.18 crore a year earlier, while total income rose to ₹757.49 crore【0†L9-L13】【0†L20-L31】. The company’s revenue grew 7.4% YoY to ₹749 crore, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased 15% to ₹106.3 crore, improving the EBITDA margin to 14.2%【1†L24-L29】.
The Core Catalyst & Market Impact
The earnings miss was largely attributed to a dip in net profit, but the company highlighted a 98% year‑on‑year jump in booking value to ₹902 crore and a 67% rise in collections to ₹682 crore, driven by strong sales in its existing Address by GS portfolio and a focus on execution rather than new launches【1†L31-L38】【1†L39-L44】. Raymond Realty’s total portfolio GDV stands at ₹52,000 crore, with ₹25,000 crore in owned Thane land and ₹27,000 crore across eight JDA projects【1†L41-L48】.
The stock closed at ₹597.90 on 27 October, up 4.64% on the BSE, reflecting a positive market reaction to the booking surge and the company’s guidance for FY27 EBITDA margin of 17–19%【1†L101-L103】. Anand Rathi, a leading research house, has set a buy rating with a target price of ₹879 on a 597.90 CMP, citing the company’s cash‑generating Thane engine and asset‑light JDA strategy【4†L17-L20】【4†L39-L41】.
Technical Landscape & Key Price Levels
The current price sits below the 200‑EMA (₹547.05) and the 50‑EMA (₹608.79), indicating a short‑term bearish bias but a bullish long‑term trend given the 52‑week high of ₹741.95 and low of ₹349.00【6†L45-L48】【6†L73-L77】. Pivot levels for the day are:
| Level | Price (₹) | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | 615.20 | Immediate resistance |
| R2 | 630.10 | Higher resistance |
| S1 | 589.20 | Primary support |
| S2 | 578.10 | Secondary support |
| 200‑EMA | 547.05 | Trend support |
The 200‑EMA lies well below the current price, suggesting that a break above the 200‑EMA would confirm a bullish reversal. The 50‑EMA at ₹608.79 is a short‑term hurdle; a sustained move above it would provide a clear upside trajectory.

The Trader's Edge: Strategic Bull vs. Bear Scenarios
The Bull Case:
- Strong booking value growth (98%) and a robust 67% rise in collections signal operational momentum.
- Anand Rathi’s ₹879 target is supported by a 6.6x FY29E EV/EBITDA, indicating a reasonable valuation.
- The 200‑EMA and 50‑EMA are below the current price, offering a clear bullish trend if the price breaks above these levels.
The Bear Case:
- A 12% profit decline raises concerns about cost pressures and margin compression.
- Overhead supply at ₹615.20 could trigger profit booking and a pullback.
- Sectoral headwinds such as rising interest rates may dampen demand for high‑end residential projects.
Actionable Risk‑to‑Reward Verdict: Swing traders can target a short‑term entry near ₹589.20 (S1) with a stop‑loss below ₹578.10 (S2). A breakout above ₹615.20 would justify a higher target near ₹630.10, offering a reward of ~10% with a risk of ~3%. Long‑term investors may consider a buy on a pullback to the 200‑EMA, targeting the Anand Rathi upside of ₹879.
Forward Triggers & Catalysts
- Next earnings call scheduled for 15 November 2026, where management will discuss FY27 guidance and debt management.
- Anticipated launch of two JDA projects in Mahim, projected to add ₹4,100 crore GDV.
