Lodha Developers's Q1 FY26 pre-sales growth disappoints investors
Lodha Developers Ltd's pre-sales rose by 10% year-on-year to Rs 4,450 crore in Q1 FY26, falling short of its full-year growth guidance of 20%, resulting in a 1.5% drop in stock price.

Lodha Developers Ltd, a prominent realty company, reported a pre-sales growth of 10% year-on-year in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, reaching Rs 4,450 crore. Despite this positive growth, the numbers fell short of the company's full-year growth guidance of 20%, disappointing investors.
The lower-than-expected growth rate led to a 1.5% decline in the company's stock price on Tuesday, as analysts and investors had higher expectations from the developer. The market reacted negatively to the news, highlighting the importance of meeting growth targets in the competitive real estate sector.
This development showcases the challenges faced by developers in a rapidly evolving market, where meeting or exceeding growth projections is crucial for maintaining investor confidence and market positioning. Lodha Developers will need to reassess its strategies and operations to align with market demands and investor expectations in the coming quarters to regain momentum.
