Prestige Estates Projects Ltd's Q2 FY27 numbers came in soft, with revenue of Rs. 2,060.20 Cr (-15.28% YoY) and PAT growth of -47.92% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.
| Results date | November 05, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Revenue (Q2) | Rs. 2,060.20 Cr (-15.28% YoY) |
| PAT (Q2) | Rs. 224.10 Cr (-47.92% YoY) |
| EBITDA margin | 48.96% (+537 bps YoY) |
| EPS (Q2) | Rs. 5.20 (-47.95% YoY) |
Q2 FY27 was a recognition-timing trough: revenue fell 15.28% YoY and PAT to owners fell 47.92% (−24.74% on the MTM-cleaned base), while pre-sales grew 20% YoY to Rs.7,225 crore and H1 collections rose 15.57%. The key pressure points are operating cash flow at Rs.1,310.7 crore for H1 versus the Rs.8,500-9,000 crore FY27 target and a deepening inventory build, offset partly by the CPPIB first tranche (Rs.1,500 crore) completed post-period and leverage inside the 0.75x cap. Meeting FY27 pre-sales guidance requires H2 pre-sales of ~1.74-1.87x the year-ago half against a >Rs.40,000 crore GDV launch pipeline.
| Driver | What happened | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| "in-line to ahead on the quarter's own flow, but against a high base" | Revenue −15.28% YoY but pre-sales +20% YoY | Partially |
| H1 pre-sales −23.91% vs record base; Q2 at top of the 15–20% band | Exactly that: H1 −23.91%, Q2 +20% | Played out |
| Margins "compressing at the margin on steel… the dominant margin variable remains internal" | Company-basis margin rose YoY (43.59%→48.96%); no steel quantification in the filing | Partially |
| Cost of debt stable in Q2; Oct 7 repo hike lands Q3 | Filing silent on cost of debt at Sep 30, 2026 | Not observable |
| CPPIB "resolved into a staged private transaction (IPO shelved)" | DRHP withdrawn Sep 2026; first tranche (Rs.950 crore secondary + Rs.550 crore CCPS) completed Oct 2026; HFS classification booked | Played out |
| Office leasing a tailwind | Filing silent (single segment); retail GTO +10%, 99% occupancy — office) in the filing | Not observable |
| Leverage inside 0.75x; OCF vs Rs.8,500–9,000 crore | 0.688x — inside cap; CFO Rs.1,310.7 crore — far behind target pace | Partially |
| Residential recognition Rs.11,000–12,000 crore; PCM question open | H1 consolidated revenue Rs.4,735.3 crore; residential split and any PCM update absent from the filing — remains open for the call | Not observable |
