Analysts on Bharat Dynamics earnings

Choice Broking said Bharat Dynamics posted a robust Q2 FY26, with revenue rising far ahead of expectations. The strong performance was driven by faster execution across missile programmes and a favourable delivery schedule, reflecting the company’s improved operational strength and supply-chain efficiency following recent modernisation, it said. 

 

The brokerage added that several major indigenous programmes, including Astra Mk-2, Akash NG and ATGM, are likely to enter production, positioning BDL as a key beneficiary of India’s expanding missile modernisation efforts.

 

Motilal Oswal said it expects revenue and Ebitda to grow at a 35 per cent and 64 per cent CAGR, respectively, over FY25-28, supported by a sharp pickup in execution as supply-chain constraints ease. The brokerage anticipates margins to stay firm and sees further improvement in the coming quarters. It maintained its 'Buy' rating with a revised target price of ₹2,000.
