Real Estate major DLF gets an underperform rating from global research house Bank Of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) with a target price of Rs 163. It expects sales of DLF to remain weak over FY17-20 as it plans to launch projects only after obtaining occupancy certificate. The house believes that this will lead to negative free cash flows of Rs 2,000 crore over FY18-20.
