The management retained its FY27E revenue growth guidance of 20-25 per cent despite a 39 per cent YoY fall in H1, citing confidence in an execution uptick backed by strong growth in order book and order flow. The Ebitda margin guidance of 35-40 per cent was also maintained, against 25 per cent achieved in H1.
"Our price target of Rs 5,545 values the company at 65 times September 2028E PE, which is at a 20 per cent discount to its peak since listing in December 2021. A 2.4 times rise in absolute profits over FY26-30E, 18 per cent ROE and debt-free balance sheet, with in-house technology in a growing defence pie, should keep valuations elevated. Downside risks – 1) Obsolescence of the company’s technology, 2) Lack of management bandwidth," Jefferies said.
