Brokerages view on Bharat Dynamic
In July 2025, Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL) initiated coverage on BDL with a 'Neutral' rating. The brokerage firm said it likes the business model of BDL and its ability to scale up its revenues and order book in current scenario, however, with fair valuations, analysts said they would look for lower price points to enter the stock. Currently, BDL is trading below MOFSL target price of ₹1,900 per share.
Bharat Dynamics is a prominent player in missile technology within the defence sector and has established itself as a leading integrator for various missile platforms. With a focus on developing advanced guided missiles, underwater weapons, and airborne products, BDL currently holds an order book of ~₹22,700 crore and a prospect pipeline of ₹50,000 crore. In recent years, BDL's revenue has been adversely impacted by supply chain disruptions and difficulties in procuring essential components through imports from Russia and Israel.
However, these issues are beginning to resolve, and analysts anticipate a rebound in revenue growth. Along with this, MOFSL also expects the company to benefit from upcoming emergency procurement pipeline as well as large orders such as quick reaction surface-to-air missiles (QRSAM).
Meanwhile, analysts at Elara Capital downgraded BDL to Sell with a target price of ₹1,480 on 400-600bp lower-than-estimated margin as the current price already factors in all the positives and it has outperformed the Nifty in the recent past.
The brokerage firm lowered its FY26E EPS by 17 per cent and FY27E EPS by 8 per cent on Akash missile execution from FY26 vs assumption in FY25, lower-than-expected margin in FY25 with likely less scope for further improvement. Analysts expect an earnings compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46 per cent during FY25-28E with an average ROE of 24 per cent during FY26-28E. 'We are yet to factor in exports inflows as there is uncertainty on the order finalization timeframe, and this would be a catalyst to monitor,' the brokerage firm said.
'BDL's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins are likely to be in the range of 16-18 per cent during FY26-27E as missile systems are largely indigenized. Revenue CAGR may grow by 30 per cent plus during FY25-27E (our est. CAGR of 39 per cent), driven by strong execution of ₹22,100 crore order book as on March 2025. The recent conflict highlighted product quality and combat mettle of BDL's product portfolio and would open various export opportunities,' Elara Capital said in the company update.
Meanwhile, BDL in its FY24 annual report said that slowdown in the economic activities and lower defence budget by Government of India (GoI) could adversely impact the company's business. Higher dependency on single customer i.e. Ministry of Defence (MoD), cancellation of orders can weaken the order book and future revenue and opening up of the Defence sector are some threats for the company.

According to media reports, the Ministry of Heavy Industries is preparing to roll out a subsidy scheme aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing of rare earth magnets. A proposed plan by India to spur local production of rare-earth magnets has drawn initial interest from a clutch of large conglomerates, as the country seeks to cut its reliance on China for these vital electric-vehicle and wind-turbine materials. The Indian government is planning an incentive program for private sector firms manufacturing these magnets. GMDC in its FY24 annual reports said that the company has been nominated as a prospective lessee for mining of Rare-earth elements (REE) & other associated minerals by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) Government of India for one of the world's largest rare earth deposits at Ambadungar, a village in Chhota Udepur district of Gujarat and is in the process of preparation and approval of mining plan.
