Raymond Realty posted pre-sales of ₹700 crore in Q1 FY27, a 129% jump year-on-year, while collections rose 47% to ₹550 crore, according to Sahi. The numbers mark a sharp acceleration for the Mumbai-based developer, which is riding strong demand for premium homes in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
The market took notice fast. On July 3, 2026, Raymond Realty stock surged as high as ₹679.8 intraday — up about 10.25% — outperforming the broader realty sector by more than six percentage points, MarketsMojo reported.
Pre-Sales Double as Mumbai Demand Stays Hot
Raymond Realty's Q1 FY27 pre-sales of ₹700 crore came in at nearly double the year-ago level. Collections of ₹550 crore show buyers are not just booking — they are paying. NDTV Profit noted that demand for premium residential projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region remains robust, with sales momentum continuing into the new fiscal year.
The strong quarter follows a milestone FY26. The company launched seven projects last year, including four in the final quarter alone. Net profit for Q4 FY26 hit ₹161.12 crore, and revenue climbed to ₹1,156.74 crore, according to Sahi. Raymond is targeting a long-run pre-sales run-rate of ₹2,800–₹3,000 crore annually.
Margins Under Pressure Now, Recovery Expected Soon
Raymond Realty's EBITDA margins came in below their long-run target range of 17%–19% for FY27. The company says that is expected. Early project phases carry heavy costs — launch marketing, initial construction, and site setup all hit margins before revenue recognition kicks in.
Management said margins are "in line with expectations" and will normalise as projects hit construction milestones. Revenue recognition in real estate is tied to project completion, so early quarters often look weaker on paper. The company held firm on its full-year margin guidance of 17%–19%, according to ScanX Trade.
Debt Stays Disciplined as Balance Sheet Holds Steady
As of June 30, 2026, total borrowings stood at ₹1,097 crore. Net debt — borrowings minus cash — was ₹827 crore. The net debt-to-equity ratio stayed below 1.0x, a level analysts consider manageable for a developer at this growth stage, according to Sahi.
Raymond also declared a final dividend of ₹2 per share — 20% on a face value of ₹10 — for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at its 7th Annual General Meeting, ScanX Trade reported. The payout signals confidence in cash generation even as the company funds new project launches.
Stock Breaks Out as Market Bets on Realty Rerating
Raymond Realty's stock traded above all major moving averages on July 3, including the 50-day line — a signal traders watch for trend confirmation. MarketsMojo called it a breakout for a small-cap name, with the stock hitting a day's high of ₹679.8 before closing around ₹695.3, up roughly 10.25%.
The rally reflects more than one strong quarter. Raymond completed a demerger that shifted its valuation squarely toward real estate execution. Market commentary points to the company gaining share in Thane and key Mumbai pockets, as buyers move toward premium-value segments. The demerger, the launch pipeline, and the Q1 beat are now working together, NDTV Profit noted.
