Over FY21-23 period, Cyient DLM’s revenue growth is lagging peers at 15 per cent CAGR; however its strong order book provides decent visibility of accelerated growth going forward. It’s valuation on P/E basis is reasonable compared to peers, at 66.2x FY23 earnings, considering the future growth opportunities, analysts at Nirmal Bang Securities said in IPO note.
