Choice Broking expects offset, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) opportunities from historically inducted programs, and the introduction of import embargoes to benefit DCX Systems in the medium to long term.
Further, the brokerage anticipates DCX System’s revenue, earning before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda), and net income to grow at compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 19 per cent, 31 per cent, and 32 per cent, respectively, over FY23-26, driven by the Elta Systems joint venture, backward integration, and new orders in both export and domestic defence markets.
“The backward integration with Raneal Advanced Systems for Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly is projected to boost margins by approximately 100-150 basis points (bps),” the report read.
In the past one year, DCX Systems shares have gained 10.3 against BSE Sensex’s rise of 22.7 per cent.
