Bharat Dynamics profit, or bottomline, dropped 5.5 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹273 crore from ₹289 crore a year ago.

Nuvama on Bharat Dynamics Q4 results
According to analysts at Nuvama Institutional Equities, Bharat Dynamics (BDL) delivered a robust Q4FY25 performance, with top-line growth of 108 per cent Y-o-Y, setting a strong foundation for continued momentum into FY26. Order inflows for FY25 stood at approximately ₹6,700 crore, taking the total order backlog to ₹22,800 crore—about 7x FY25 revenue—offering solid visibility over the next 3–4 years. However, analysts believe timely execution will be critical to sustaining growth going forward.
Thus, Nuvama maintained its 'Buy' rating, factoring in a ~60 per cent revenue CAGR over FY25–27E and operating margins of 22–23 per cent, supported by backward integration and easing of supply-side constraints—particularly in critical imports like chips and warheads—which had hampered execution in earlier quarters (with notable recovery in H2FY25).
Analysts also revised their FY27E EPS upward by 6 per cent and assigned a higher valuation multiple of 45x (up from 35x) on the revised EPS estimate of ₹50.1, arriving at a new target price of ₹2,250 (previously ₹1,650).
About Bharat Dynamics
Headquartered in Hyderabad, Bharat Dynamics was established on 16 July 1970 as a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India. Conceived as the manufacturing hub for guided missile systems and allied equipment for the Indian Armed Forces, Bharat Dynamics has since evolved into a critical pillar of India's defence infrastructure.
Over the decades, it has collaborated extensively with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to supply a wide range of missiles and associated systems.
The company now stands among the few global players equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for the production of guided missiles, underwater weapons, airborne defence systems, and more. It also provides life cycle support, refurbishment, and life extension services for vintage missile systems.
BDL has transitioned from a missile manufacturer to a comprehensive Weapon System Integrator, offering end-to-end solutions to the Indian Armed Forces. With four operational manufacturing units—three in Telangana (Hyderabad, Bhanur, and Ibrahimpatnam) and one in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh—the company is expanding its footprint with a new facility under development in Amravati, Maharashtra.
In partnership with DRDO, BDL produces a variety of indigenous systems, including the Akash Surface-to-Air Missile and heavyweight and lightweight torpedoes, the latter of which are also being exported.
Looking ahead, BDL is set to manufacture the cutting-edge 'Beyond Visual Range' Astra Weapon System, further strengthening its position as a key contributor to India's defence self-reliance.

Markets rally on RBI's surprise 50 bps rate cut
Mumbai: Benchmark equity indices surged on Friday, with the Sensex climbing 746.95 points and Nifty reclaiming the 25,000-level after the RBI cut interest rates by more-than-expected 50 basis points -- a third consecutive reduction -- and reduced the cash reserve ratio for banks to provide a major liquidity fillip to support the economy amid geopolitical and tariff headwinds. Recovering all the early lost ground, the 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 746.95 points, or 0.92 per cent, to settle at 82,188.99. During the day, it surged 857.85 points, or 1.05 per cent, to 82,299.89. The 50-share NSE Nifty reclaimed the 25,000-level and climbed 252.15 points, or 1.02 per cent, to settle at 25,003.05. Interest-rate-sensitive realty index jumped 4.74 per cent, while auto index went up 1.50 per cent and bankex climbed 1.25 per cent. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) six-member monetary policy committee, headed by Governor Sanjay Malhotra and consisting of three external members, voted five to one to lower the benchmark repurchase or repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5 per cent. It also cut the cash reserve ratio by 100 basis points to 3 per cent, adding Rs 2.5 lakh crore to already surplus liquidity in the banking system. With the latest reduction, the RBI has cut interest rates by a total of 100 basis points in 2025, starting with a quarter-point reduction in February -- the first cut since May 2020 -- and another similar-sized cut in April. The central bank, at the same time, changed its monetary policy stance to 'neutral' from accommodative, with Malhotra saying further action will depend on incoming data. 'The Indian stock market responded optimistically to the RBI's surprise and aggressive growth push policy. The tremendous rate cut and liquidity boost via the CRR cut is expected to facilitate swift transmission of lower rates, reinforcing the RBI's strong commitment to fostering economic growth, boosting investment, and stimulating consumption. 'Rate-sensitive sectors, including banking, real estate, automobiles, and consumer durables are leading the rally,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said. From the Sensex firms, Bajaj Finance surged 4.93 per cent and Axis Bank climbed 3.15 per cent. Maruti, IndusInd Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Eternal, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Steel, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Titan, HDFC Bank, and NTPC were among the other major gainers. Bharti Airtel and Sun Pharma were the laggards. 'A third straight cut in repo rates this year with 50 bps cut instead of an estimate of 25 bps is a pleasant move.
