Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
DLF Ltd is India's largest listed real estate developer with a market cap of ₹1,63,123 Cr, trading at a PE of 36.5x and PB of 3.57x. The company has achieved strong profit CAGR of 29% over 5 years while becoming nearly debt-free, but TTM sales have declined 28% and return on equity remains modest at around 9-10%.
- Company is almost debt-free, having significantly reduced leverage — a major positive in a capital-intensive real estate sector
- Compounded profit growth of 29% CAGR over both 5-year and 10-year periods demonstrates sustained earnings expansion
- Healthy dividend payout ratio of 41.4% with a current dividend yield of 1.21%, indicating shareholder-friendly capital allocation
- ROE has improved to 10% in the last year from a 5-year average of 8% and 10-year average of 5%, showing an upward trajectory
- Stock has delivered 15% CAGR over both 5-year and 10-year periods, reflecting long-term wealth creation
- 3-year compounded sales growth of 13% indicates the recent revenue trend (excluding TTM) was on an improving path
- TTM profit still grew 2% year-on-year despite a 28% decline in TTM sales, suggesting margin resilience and cost discipline
- TTM sales declined 28%, a sharp revenue contraction that raises concerns about near-term demand or project completion timing
- 10-year compounded sales growth is negative at -2%, indicating the topline has essentially stagnated over a decade
- Stock trades at 3.57x book value, a premium valuation for a company with sub-10% average ROE
- 3-year average ROE of only 9.32% is low relative to the PE multiple of 36.5x, implying the market is pricing in significant future improvement
- Earnings include other income of ₹1,886 Cr, which inflates reported profits and may not be recurring or operational in nature
- 5-year sales CAGR of only 8.64% is poor for a company valued at over ₹1.6 lakh Cr market cap
- Stock has declined 13% over the past 1 year, underperforming the broader market
- Tax rate appears low, which if normalized could compress reported earnings
