Macrotech Developers is a property development company, primarily involved in the development of commercial, residential and mixed-use properties, as well as the construction of integrated communities.

Nomura has initiated a "Buy" rating on Macrotech Developers stock with a target price of Rs 1,600 per share, citing solid earnings visibility supported by effective capital allocation strategies. The brokerage highlighted visible re-rating triggers and expects pre-sales growth at a 20 percent CAGR over FY25-26.

Additionally, Macrotech has ample potential to exceed its business development goals, ensuring sustained future growth, Nomura noted. The Palava project, on the cusp of infrastructure upgrades, is expected to benefit from both volume and price growth, it said.

Currently, Macrotech shares trade at 32x its 2025 EV/EBITDA. However, potential risks include a slowdown in the residential market and delays in infrastructure upgrades around Palava, flagged Nomura.
