DLF shares fell as much as 4.1% in early trade on weak margins, but later rose 2%
Mumbai: Shares in DLF Ltd rose 2% on Friday after falling as much as 4% in early trade after its January-March earnings fell short of some analysts’ estimates.
The real estate developer on Thursday reported a profit in the fourth quarter, helped by a gain from the sale of its Aman Resorts luxury hotel chain.
“The company’s revenue was in line with estimates, but margins disappointed once again," Motilal Oswal Securities said in a note.
Weak demand and lack of fresh launch have resulted in deterioration in core operating cash flow as well, it added.
DLF shares were up 2.09% to ₹ 208 at 11:12am on BSE while the benchmrk Sensex was trading 0.2% higher at 24,284.10. Reuters
