Despite these challenges, KR Choksey remains optimistic about the company’s long-term outlook. The brokerage anticipates that Q2 will offer clearer insights into growth acceleration, fueled by a strong order pipeline. It has maintained its earnings forecasts for FY25 and FY26, backed by a solid order book, an increased focus on cable and wire harnessing, and the commencement of commercial production at Raneal Advanced Systems.
DCX Systems shares have not performed well, remaining mostly stagnant with a modest increase of just 1.6 percent since the beginning of the year. The stock’s strong performance today has enabled it to recoup all the losses incurred earlier this year. Looking at a longer timeframe, the stock has gained 13.5% over the past 12 months.
