🔍 Observations
Topline
- Revenue from operations hit ₹6,00,906 Lakhs in FY26 (+13.7% YoY vs ₹5,28,627 Lakhs), driven almost entirely by Real Estate segment (₹5,81,108 Lakhs; 96.7% of total).
- Q4 FY26 revenue surged 52.1% YoY (₹1,74,983 vs ₹1,15,014 Lakhs), signalling strong Q4 delivery and recognition.
- Hospitality remained flat — ₹19,798 Lakhs FY26 vs ₹19,275 Lakhs FY25 (+2.7%) — contributing negligibly to growth.
Bottomline
- PAT grew 12.7% YoY (₹2,50,743 Lakhs FY26 vs ₹2,22,551 Lakhs FY25), with Q4 FY26 PAT at ₹70,328 Lakhs (+62.4% YoY vs ₹43,317 Lakhs).
- EPS (basic, excluding exceptional) rose to ₹69.44 in FY26 from ₹61.21 in FY25 (+13.4%), with full face value of ₹10.
- Higher current tax (₹80,306 Lakhs FY26 vs ₹65,563 Lakhs FY25) absorbed some profit upside; effective tax rate ~24.5%.
Margins
- Operating margin compressed to 55.50% in FY26 from 58.70% in FY25 — a 320 bps contraction driven by higher land and construction costs (₹3,00,171 Lakhs vs ₹2,04,522 Lakhs, +46.7% YoY).
- Net profit margin held at 39.77% vs 40.65%, a modest 88 bps decline — deferred tax credit (₹3,488 Lakhs) provided partial offset.
- Q4 FY26 operating margin (54.88%) lagged Q3 FY26 (55.89%), indicating quarter-on-quarter cost pressure despite strong revenue.
Growth Trajectory
- Real Estate segment profit grew 7.4% YoY (₹3,36,522 Lakhs vs ₹3,13,422 Lakhs) — slower than revenue growth, confirming margin dilution at segment level.
- Inventory days improved sharply: 1,582 days FY26 vs 1,851 days FY25 — reflecting faster project completions and deliveries.
- Debt-to-equity fell to 0.16x from 0.21x — leverage is unwinding even as net worth grew to ₹17,92,163 Lakhs from ₹15,70,487 Lakhs (+14.1%).

🟢 Green Flags
- Q4 FY26 revenue up 52.1% YoY — strong delivery pipeline translating into accelerated revenue recognition.
- Debt-to-equity at 0.16x — one of the cleanest balance sheets in Indian real estate; total debt ₹2,81,622 Lakhs against net worth of ₹17,92,163 Lakhs.
- Interest coverage at 11.96x (FY26) — signals debt is firmly under control and finance costs pose no near-term risk.
- OCF of ₹1,37,985 Lakhs — company is generating meaningful operating cash even after a ₹79,247 Lakhs tax outflow.
- Inventory days down to 1,582 from 1,851 — faster asset monetisation reduces carrying risk and improves capital velocity.
- Net worth up ₹2,21,676 Lakhs YoY — compounding book value at ~14% signals a high-quality wealth creator.
- Other current liabilities up ₹97,866 Lakhs YoY (₹2,88,191 vs ₹1,90,325 Lakhs) — reflects customer advances, a leading indicator of future revenue.
🔴 Red Flags
- Operating margin down 320 bps YoY — land and construction cost inflation is structurally compressing margins; sustainability unclear if input costs remain elevated.
- OCF fell to ₹1,37,985 Lakhs from ₹2,16,257 Lakhs — a 36.2% YoY decline driven by inventory build (₹69,935 Lakhs outflow) and other assets growth (₹1,19,275 Lakhs outflow).
- Inventories grew ₹73,672 Lakhs YoY (₹10,18,322 vs ₹9,44,650 Lakhs) — land bank and WIP expansion is capital-intensive and delays free cash flow realisation.
- Trade receivables nearly tripled — ₹32,404 Lakhs vs ₹11,266 Lakhs — a spike that warrants monitoring even if debtor days (13–14) appear contained.
- CWIP at ₹1,75,173 Lakhs — up from ₹1,60,438 Lakhs — large project pipeline adds execution risk and defers earnings.
- Hospitality segment stagnant — ₹6,973 Lakhs profit FY26 vs ₹7,433 Lakhs FY25 (-6.2%); capital tied up in investment properties (₹4,43,258 Lakhs) generating sub-optimal returns.
- Other current assets surged to ₹3,16,008 Lakhs from ₹2,00,053 Lakhs — a ₹1,15,955 Lakhs build that inflated working capital and pressured operating cash flow.
📊 Balance Sheet Analysis
- Asset quality is strong — non-current assets are dominated by investment properties (₹4,43,258 Lakhs) and CWIP (₹1,75,173 Lakhs); inventory-heavy current assets (₹10,18,322 Lakhs) are backed by pre-sales and advances.
- Liquidity is comfortable — current ratio at 3.99x; liquid assets (cash + bank balances + mutual fund investments) total ₹2,96,960 Lakhs against short-term borrowings of ₹45,203 Lakhs.
- Leverage is minimal — total debt to total assets at 0.11x; long-term borrowings declined to ₹2,36,420 Lakhs from ₹2,89,485 Lakhs, indicating active deleveraging.
- Equity base is expanding — other equity grew by ₹2,21,676 Lakhs in FY26, predominantly through retained earnings, strengthening the capital cushion.
💰 Cash Flow Analysis
- OCF at ₹1,37,985 Lakhs — operational profitability is real, but working capital absorption (inventory + other assets) consumed ~₹1,89,210 Lakhs, cutting OCF 36.2% versus FY25.
- Investing outflow was net ₹46,307 Lakhs — far lower than FY25’s ₹2,39,226 Lakhs; mutual fund churn (gross purchases ₹4,93,220 Lakhs, gross proceeds ₹5,02,715 Lakhs) dominated investing activity.
- Financing outflow of ₹1,00,877 Lakhs — reflects net debt repayment of ~₹48,029 Lakhs and dividend payout of ₹29,088 Lakhs; the company returned capital while reducing leverage.
- Net cash declined ₹9,199 Lakhs — manageable given ₹1,52,107 Lakhs in bank deposits and ₹1,27,285 Lakhs in liquid investments; headline cash position understates true liquidity.
💡 Investment Outlook
Oberoi Realty delivered a solid FY26 with 13.7% revenue growth, expanding net worth, and one of the strongest balance sheets in listed Indian real estate.
Margin compression from input cost inflation and a sharp OCF decline are the key near-term concerns — both warranting scrutiny over FY27 as the project pipeline converts.
The accelerating customer advance buildup and improving inventory turnover signal strong pre-sales momentum, making earnings visibility reasonably high.
The company remains a premium-quality compounder, but investors should track margin recovery and working capital normalisation before extrapolating the Q4 earnings momentum.
