Strong demand tailwinds are for all the players: 5 small and midcap real-estate stocks with upside potential of up to 34%
Four years ago, the real estate industry was defined by excess inventory, over leveraged balance sheets and weak demand. Today, a housing project getting launched is getting sold within a few days. The average prices on a per square ft basis have inched upward very sharply in the last one year and still there is no dearth of demand. Now the question is whether this kind of sharp rise in demand is having an impact only on large players or also on mid-sized companies which are focussed in a region only. The fact is that in the case of sectors like real estate, when the tide of demand changes, it changes for every player, be it large or medium. Yes, when it comes to medium-sized players it would be important to look at the players where they have a track record of implementing projects on time. Delivering the project on time is key metrics which determines whether the company which is mid-sized today will become large or not in years to come. As the large ones have seen a sharp rise in the valuations, the focus of the street is now also on mid-sized by well managed companies.
