Jan 29: Steady Gains Ahead of Earnings

Volume picked up to 16,376 shares, reflecting renewed investor activity as anticipation grew for the company’s quarterly financial disclosures. The steady gains suggested confidence in the company’s operational turnaround.
Jan 30: Very Positive Q3 Results Drive 2.28% Surge
The highlight of the week came on 30 January when Prestige Estates announced a very positive quarterly financial performance for the December 2025 quarter. The stock closed at Rs.1,460.40, up 2.28%, despite the Sensex declining 0.22% to 36,185.03. Volume rose to 27,744 shares, signalling strong market interest following the earnings release.
The company reported a profit before tax less other income (PBT LESS OI) of ₹265.40 crores, a staggering 697.0% increase year-on-year. Net profit after tax soared by 1157.6% to ₹222.60 crores, while net sales reached a record ₹3,872.60 crores. This marked a significant operational turnaround, driven by improved efficiency and strong demand in the realty sector.
Despite these gains, operational challenges remain. The inventory turnover ratio for the half-year was low at 0.22 times, indicating slow stock movement. The debtor turnover ratio also stood at 4.28 times, suggesting slower receivables collection. These factors could constrain liquidity and working capital management going forward.
The company’s financial trend score improved from 15 to 25 over three months, reflecting the very positive earnings momentum. However, the stock retains a 'Sell' Mojo Grade of 33.0, indicating caution due to valuation and liquidity concerns.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Prestige Estates demonstrated a strong operational turnaround in Q3 FY26, with profit before tax surging 697.0% and net profit after tax rising 1157.6%. Record net sales of ₹3,872.60 crores underscore robust demand and effective sales execution. The stock outperformed the Sensex by 3.43% over the week, reflecting investor confidence in the earnings momentum.
Cautionary Notes: Despite the earnings strength, the company faces persistent operational challenges. Low inventory turnover (0.22 times) and debtor turnover (4.28 times) ratios indicate potential liquidity constraints and slower cash conversion cycles. The Mojo Grade remains a 'Sell' at 33.0, highlighting valuation and market cap concerns. Recent volatility and sector headwinds suggest investors should monitor working capital management closely.
Conclusion
Prestige Estates Projects Ltd’s week was defined by a significant earnings beat that reversed recent financial trends and supported a 5.05% weekly gain in its share price. The company’s ability to deliver strong revenue growth and margin expansion amid market volatility is a notable development. However, operational inefficiencies in inventory and debtor management temper the outlook, maintaining a cautious stance reflected in the current 'Sell' rating. The stock’s outperformance relative to the Sensex this week highlights the market’s positive reaction to the quarterly results, but investors should remain vigilant about liquidity and valuation risks as the company navigates ongoing sector challenges.
