"Despite the margin slump, Mazagon remains a key strategic player in India’s defence indigenisation programme. Its associate, Goa Shipyard, contributed ₹32.9 crore to the bottom line, partially cushioning the earnings decline. With the stock having rallied sharply over FY25, these results may prompt a valuation reset unless margin recovery is visible in coming quarters. Management guidance on provisioning and execution timelines will be crucial to watch," said Harshal Dasani, Business Head, INVasset PMS.
The shares of the company closed over 3 percent lower at Rs 2789.80 apiece. The stock has dropped nearly 7 percent in the past five days, and around 14 percent in the past one month. The stock is however up more than 20 percent in 2025 so far.
