TMGH (FV: EGP42.95, OW) achieved FY23 sales of EGP140.0 billion, up 321.7% y/y. It is not clear if this EGP140.0 billion figure includes sales made for non-TMGH entities for which TMGH receives commissions.

Sales exceeded our FY23 sales expectation of EGP24.8 billion. Our EGP37.56/share valuation conservatively assumes a FY24 sales projection of EGP27.3 billion, which, in light of actual FY23 sales of EGP30.3 billion, we expect to be exceeded, especially since we generally expect real estate sales to grow y/y in FY24, fueled by the current macro environment prompting people to resort to real estate as a store of wealth. We maintain our Overweight recommendation of OCDI based on our FV of EGP37.56/share.
