Geojit Financial Services research report on Bharat Electronics

Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) is a Navaratna enterprise with a 37% market share in Indian defence electronics. BEL’s core capabilities are in radar & weapons systems, defence communication & electronic warfare. Revenue grew by 7% YoY in Q4FY25, while net profit recorded an 18% YoY increase, exceeding our expectations. EBITDA grew by 22.3% YoY, and margin was up by 380bps YoY to 30.6%, led by a better product mix and lower cost. FY25 order backlog was at Rs.71,650cr (3.0x FY26E sales), providing strong visibility for the next 3 years. Order intake for FY25 was at ~Rs.19,400cr, and was marginally lower than initial guidance. For FY26, management guided revenue growth of 15% YoY, EBITDA margins of 27% with an order inflow guidance at Rs.27,000cr. BEL’s margin guidance appears achievable, supported by rising indigenous content. A strong order pipeline enhances the long-term outlook. We forecast earnings to grow at a 20% CAGR over FY25–27E.

Outlook

Considering the upgrade in our earnings estimates and potential large order inflow in FY26, we value BEL at a P/E of 42x FY27E EPS and maintain a BUY rating, with a target price of Rs.441.
