FY26 revenue growth was 9.1% at DLF, 20.7% at Godrej Properties and 70.6% at Prestige Estates. P\/E stands at 37.42 for DLF (industry 32.50), 30.37 for Godrej Properties (industry 32.50) and 49.18 for Prestige Estates (industry 32.50). Demand cycles, input costs and valuation decide how much of that growth the market keeps paying for, so each company&#8217;s risks need equal attention.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Real estate stocks give investors exposure to housing demand and commercial leasing, both supported by rising incomes and urbanisation. Revenue is recognised as projects progress, which is why pre-sales and collections matter as much as reported profit.<\/p>\n<p>This list covers three real estate sector stocks: DLF for premium housing, commercial leasing and a large land bank, Godrej Properties for residential projects across major cities and Prestige Estates Projects for residential, commercial and retail projects. Every figure comes from the latest reported financials and the 5 October 2026 market close. Companies without complete current figures were left out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
