However, industry analysts have noted a 41.9% correction in the share price over the past 22 weeks, indicating ongoing weakness in the broader real estate sector. Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities, anticipates the stock might drift towards a major support level of ₹1,769 over the next few months. He suggests that short-term rallies in the ₹2,170–₹2,200 range should be approached with caution.
Conversely, Riyank Arora, a Technical Analyst at Mehta Equities Ltd, views Godrej Properties as exhibiting a strong technical setup, with support holding firm at ₹2,300. He believes the stock is on an upward trajectory with the potential to reach targets of ₹2,350 and ₹2,360. A breakout beyond ₹2,360 could pave the way for further gains towards ₹2,400.
Conclusion
The strong performance of Godrej Properties not only highlights its resilience in the competitive real estate market but also underlines its position as a leader in the Indian property sector.
