Defence stocks jump up to 3% amid rising Iran-Israel tensions, defence budget boost hopes

Defence stocks rallied up to 3% on Tuesday, in intraday trade amid rising geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel, coupled with the hopes of an increased defence budget by the government. The heightened global uncertainty appears to have renewed investor interest in India's defence and aerospace segment, with several key stocks touching fresh day highs. Among the gainers, Data Patterns (India) shares surged the most, rising 3% to hit a high of Rs 3,049.50. It was followed by Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) shares, which climbed 2.8% to touch Rs 1,940.70. BEML shares also witnessed strong momentum, gaining 2.2% to reach Rs 4,473.00. Meanwhile, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) shares rose 1.6% intraday, hitting Rs 5,130.50. The rise in these stocks may be attributed to the war tensions in the Middle East between Iran and Israel, as investors see potential in the sector along with an expectation of enhanced defence spending by the Indian government. Commenting on the recent spike in defence counters, Sankhanath Bandyopadhyay, Economist at Infomerics Valuation and Ratings, also said, 'Defence stocks look promising due to the ongoing geopolitical tussle between Iran and Israel. Moreover, the Indian government is likely to enhance defence spending from the current 2% of GDP to 3–4% over the next decade.' He added that with the government targeting Rs 25,000 crore in defence exports by 2025–26, the outlook for export-driven defence stocks remains strong.

'In the current scenario, geopolitical tensions will likely be lingering between different countries, especially as being reflected in rising tensions in the Middle East. Investors should carefully assess the financials and outlook of such stocks before investing, and there should be a judicious mix so that a healthy dividend can also be earned,' he advised.

Mukesh Ambani's masterstroke: Rs 500 crore bet delivers Rs 9,000 crore windfall gain for Reliance Industries

Strategic Exit Amid Headwinds Live Events Investor Confidence in RIL's Strategy Perfect Market Timing (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel In what ranks among the most spectacular long-term bets in Indian corporate history, Asia's richest billionaire, Mukesh Ambani , has finally cashed out of his Asian Paints investment, transforming a Rs 500 crore stake into a whopping Rs 9,080 crore profit, translating into a jaw-dropping 2,200% return over 17 years. Reliance Industries (RIL) announced Monday that it sold the remaining 87 lakh equity shares of Asian Paints at an average price of Rs 2,207.65 per share to ICICI Prudential Life Mutual Fund in a block deal worth Rs 1,876 crore. This follows last week's disposal of 3.50 crore shares to SBI Mutual Fund for Rs 7,704 crore at Rs 2,201 per share, completing RIL's exit from the paint timing couldn't be more strategic. RIL has offloaded its entire 4.9% stake held through subsidiary Siddhant Commercials just as Asian Paints faces its toughest competitive challenge in decades, with shares down over 30% in the past two years, making it one of the worst-performing bluechip stocks in that exit comes as Asian Paints' once-impregnable fortress crumbles under siege from new entrants, notably Birla Opus Paints backed by the Aditya Birla Group. According to Elara Securities, Asian Paints' market share has plummeted from 59% to 52% in paint maker has posted muted revenue growth for four straight quarters, citing sluggish urban demand and an early Diwali. More concerning is the margin pressure — despite lower raw material costs, higher rebates and increased competition have shrunk gross margins are viewing this monetization positively as part of RIL's broader strategic repositioning. Morgan Stanley's Mayank Maheshwari noted: "RIL is in its 4th monetisation cycle as its investments in new energy and eventually AI infrastructure start to fructify in F26. By end-2027, we see monetisation of the petrochemical investments as well."The brokerage expects RIL's re-rating to gain traction as confidence in ROCE improvement beyond 9% rises, with the company's annual average capex spend of approximately $15 billion over the next three years comfortably supported by its cash original investment demonstrates Ambani's contrarian investing prowess. Back in January 2008, when markets were in a tailspin amid the global financial crisis and Lehman Brothers' collapse, RIL picked up the 4.9% stake for just Rs 500 crore through its subsidiary — a move that now appears had explored divesting this stake five years ago ahead of launching India's largest rights issue while deleveraging its balance sheet following a mega capex plan in telecom. However, it held onto the investment and instead raised a combined $25 billion for its digital, telecom, and retail ventures through marquee global strategic and financial the challenges, Asian Paints maintains significant market presence and operates with an annual domestic decorative paint capacity of 1.85 million kilo litres, serving consumers in over 60 countries through the country's largest distribution network of 74,129 brokerages have turned cautious. Nuvama recently cut its FY26-FY27 earnings estimates by 6-8%, forecasting a modest 7.2% EPS CAGR through FY28. The brokerage slashed its target price to Rs 2,200 with a neutral rating, assigning a valuation of 45x forward earnings — a notable 20% discount to the stock's 10-year paint industry is also facing potential antitrust scrutiny, adding another layer of uncertainty for Ambani books one of corporate India's most remarkable investment returns, the exit marks the end of an era while positioning RIL for its next phase of growth in new energy and digital infrastructure.
