Risk intelligence
Q3 EBITDA margin declined to 22.5% versus prior quarters due to lower-margin legacy projects (Ciesta NCT takeover with old rates). Management acknowledged this product mix impact, though maintained 28-30% IRR expectations on newly signed BD projects.
Analyst raised concern that approximately one-third of FY26 pre-sales (~₹9,000 crore) came from NCR (Indirapuram), creating a potential shortfall in FY27 before new land acquisitions (Sector 150 legal clearance, two Ganga gram parcels) come online. Management acknowledged the risk but did not provide specific FY27 targets.
Analyst questioned whether Prestige is over-extending in Chennai/Hyderabad where peers struggle. Nautilus project has achieved only 55% GDV absorption (~₹4,500 crore of ~₹8,000 crore) over extended timeline. Management defended slower Chennai absorption (20% sellout in 1-2 months considered good) but did not address competitive dynamics.
Q3 BD spend of ₹2,700 crore (total FY26: ~₹5,500-6,000 crore) was above guidance due to opportunistic acquisitions including Hyderabad Knowledge Park (~₹2,000 crore) and Chennai land (₹800 crore). With prices 'peaked out' per management, there is risk of lower-than-expected IRRs if construction costs continue rising or market softens before project monetization.
