Shares of DLF Ltd were trading 1.13% higher at ₹701.50 on Friday, Dec 12, after global brokerage HSBC maintained its bullish stance on India’s real estate sector and reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating on leading developers, including DLF, Godrej Properties and Sobha.

According to HSBC, the recent underperformance of real estate stocks does not reflect the strong underlying health of the sector. The brokerage highlighted that:

  • Unsold inventory remains low across major markets
  • Developers’ balance sheets are stable, with disciplined leverage
  • Launch activity remains robust, indicating sustained demand momentum

HSBC added that investors are waiting for cash flow visibility and project completions, which could act as key triggers for the next phase of stock performance.

DLF, backed by strong presales and a premium development pipeline, is expected to benefit from healthy housing demand, especially in the luxury and upper-mid segments where the company has a dominant presence.
