PHAROS VIEW

Palm Hills Developments | Value Is in Diversity

Pharos writes that In the real estate world, PHD stands out judging by the various projects across Egypt reflecting its solid brand equity. Its real estate development portfolio features many co-development projects, a trend that has become quite widespread in the face of costly land acquisition. In a note released just before the holiday long weekend, the research house notes:

  • Market price fails to reflect raw land plots; Buy on FV of EGP3.47/share
  • Further NUCA collaboration would be a key catalyst
  • Sales momentum to continue in short term, despite signs of systemic risks
  • Lack of client-segment diversification a potential threat
