JPMorgan sees EMS as 'sunrise sector'; Syrma, Dixon, Kaynes lead the pack
The global brokerage began coverage on Syrma SGS Technology (target: ₹800) and Dixon Technologies (target: ₹17,700), and Kaynes Technologies (target: ₹7,150) with an 'overweight' rating. JPMorgan initiated a 'neutral' rating on Amber Enterprises (target: ₹7,350) and Cyient DLM (target: ₹450), and a 'underweight rating' on Avalon Technologies (target: ₹650).
The EMS sector is expected to sustain its strong growth trajectory, with revenue projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32 per cent over the financial year 2025-30. According to estimates by JP Morgan, EMS is set to expand its share in domestic electronics production to 41 per cent by FY30 from 31 per cent in FY25.
The growth will be supported by rising electronics content in products, the government's 'Make in India' initiative aimed at import substitution, and a global supply chain shift towards India under the China+1 strategy, it said in a report on July 8.
Additionally, two emerging areas, outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing (OSAT) and printed circuit boards (PCBs), offer fresh growth opportunities, JPMorgan added. Exports are also expected to become a key growth driver in the coming years.
JPMorgan's take on EMS stocks
Syrma SGS Technology: The brokerage expects Syrma to deliver the third-fastest revenue growth in its EMS coverage, projecting a 31 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over FY25-28. Ebitda margins are expected to expand by 70 basis points to 9 per cent by FY28, driven by strong demand in the industrial and automotive segments. The brokerage also expects exports to stage a comeback from FY27, which could further support growth and margins.
While the market appears to have priced in strong mobile growth through FY27, JPMorgan sees further upside from non-mobile segments.
Kaynes Technology: The company is expected to clock the fastest revenue growth in JPMorgan's EMS coverage, at 46 per cent CAGR over FY25-28, achieving its $1 billion revenue target by FY28. Growth is likely to be supported by new contributions from outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing (OSAT) and printed circuit boards (PCB) beginning FY27. The brokerage believes that delivering near-term growth could trigger a re-rating.
Amber, Cyient DLM, and Avalon: The brokerage expressed scepticism over Amber's growth potential due to a shift from air-conditioner assembly to component manufacturing, driven by brand insourcing. Cyient DLM is seen facing growth challenges in FY26 due to a weak order book and a lack of revenue from Bharat Electronics, JPMorgan said. For Avalon, its high export exposure, 57 per cent of revenues, is seen as a risk amid global tariff uncertainties, likely pressuring FY26 performance.

3 years, 14 rounds: Deal clinched hours before start of Sindoor
Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomes PM Narendra Modi at Chequers near Aylesbury, England. (Pic credit: AP) NEW DELHI: The trade deal with UK may have been under negotiation for three years but the seeds were sown 18 years ago - on June 28, 2007, when India began talks for a Bilateral Trade and Investment Agreement. It was a day after Tony Blair quit as the UK PM, having done some groundwork for the talks. But it was not until Brexit and India's decision to exit RCEP that talks for a trade deal with the UK actually began. Having opted out of China-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, govt stepped up engagement with developed countries - from the UK and EU to Australia - hoping to open new markets for Indian goods and services. It meant reviving talks that had been on the backburner, as the Modi govt was reluctant to sign FTAs during its first term. The UK deal appeared smooth as long as Boris Johnson occupied 10 Downing Street. In April 2022, three months after negotiations began, Johnson set a Diwali deadline. Less than three months later, he stepped down, and the deal went on the backburner as UK grappled with uncertainty. Several members of Rishi Sunak's cabinet publicly expressed concerns over visa concessions, though discussions were on business visas. Finally, it was Keir Starmer who decided to go ahead with the deal at a time when pressure from US was mounting. It took three years and 14 rounds of negotiations for the deal to be finalised, hours before the start of Operation Sindoor .

India moves to shield power grid from solar equipment malware
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel India issued guidelines to protect solar power equipment from potential cyberattacks, responding to industry concerns that imported China-made parts may be putting the grid at of inverters - devices that turn direct current into electricity for homes and the grid - will need to connect the machines to a national software platform, hosted on servers in India and managed by a government agency, according to the renewable energy ministry. All communication devices connected to the inverters must use special SIM cards that let machines securely share data without human input, it said in a note on its power grids become more automated and digitally connected, they face growing cybersecurity threats, prompting governments worldwide to tighten safeguards. Reuters reported in May that the US is reassessing the risk posed by Chinese-made inverters after unexplained communication equipment was found inside some of them."Inverter communication modules that transmit data to servers outside India not only pose risks of unauthorised control but also threaten national energy sovereignty by exposing sensitive consumption and generation data," the Indian ministry directions currently apply to rooftop solar inverters - considered the most vulnerable part of the green power supply network due to limited technological safeguards. Data from these devices also reach to suppliers, many based in China, according to India Smart Grid Forum, which advises the government on building new-age power currently has 1.8 million rooftop solar units connected to the grid, ISGF said in a May report. More than 80% of the inverters installed at these units are made by Chinese companies, it said, highlighting the cybersecurity nation plans to cover 10 million houses, with a cumulative capacity of 30 gigawatts by March 2027, according to the ministry.

Europe, China agree to take action on climate change during Beijing summit
China and the European Union have issued a joint call to action on climate change during an otherwise tense bilateral summit in Beijing on Thursday riven with major disagreements over trade and the war in Ukraine. The two economic juggernauts issued a joint statement on climate change, urging more emission cuts and greater use of green technology and affirming their support for the Paris Climate Agreement as well as calling for strong action at the upcoming COP30 climate summit in Brazil. In the fluid and turbulent international situation today, it is crucial that all countries, notably the major economies, maintain policy continuity and stability and step up efforts to address climate change, the joint statement said. Their climate agreement was a silver lining on a stormy day where European leaders demanded a more balanced relationship with China in talks with President Xi Jinping. They highlighted trade in their opening remarks, calling for concrete progress to address Europe's yawning trade deficit with China. As our cooperation has deepened, so have the imbalances, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. We have reached an inflection point. Rebalancing our bilateral relation is essential. Because to be sustainable, relations need to be mutually beneficial. Little movement expected Expectations were low ahead of the talks, initially supposed to last two days but scaled back to one. They come amid financial uncertainty around the world, wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the threat of US tariffs. Neither the EU nor China is likely to budge on key issues. European Council President Antonio Costa called on China to use its influence over Russia to bring an end to the war in Ukraine a long-running plea from European leaders that is likely to fall again on deaf ears. Xi called for deeper cooperation between China and Europe to provide stability in an increasingly complex world. Both sides should set aside differences and seek common ground, he said, a phrase he often uses in relationships like the one with the EU. China is willing to strengthen coordination on climate and make greater contributions to addressing climate change, he said, but he pushed back against EU restrictions on Chinese exports. We hope the EU will keep its trade and investment markets open, refrain from using restrictive economic and trade tools and provide a good business environment for Chinese companies to invest and develop in Europe, he said, according to a readout posted online by state broadcaster CCTV. US tariff threats weigh on EU-China cooperation Besides trade and the Ukraine war, von der Leyen and Costa were expected to raise concerns about Chinese cyberattacks and espionage, its restrictions on the export of rare earth minerals and its human rights record in Tibet, Hong Kong and Xinjiang. The EU, meanwhile, has concerns about a looming trade battle with the United States. Europe is being very careful not to antagonise President Trump even further by looking maybe too close to China, so all of that doesn't make this summit easier, said Fabian Zuleeg, chief economist of the European Policy Centre. It will be very hard to achieve something concrete. China's stance has hardened on the EU, despite a few olive branches, like the suspension of sanctions on European lawmakers who criticised Beijing's human rights record in Xinjiang province, where it is accused of a widespread campaign of repression against the Uyghurs. China believes it has successfully weathered the US tariffs storm because of its aggressive posture, said Noah Barkin, an analyst at the Rhodium Group think tank. China has come away emboldened from its trade confrontation with Trump. That has reduced its appetite for making concessions to the EU, he said. Now that Trump has backed down, China sees less of a need to woo Europe. Trade disputes range from rare earths to EVs Like the US, the 27-nation EU bloc runs a massive trade deficit with China around 300 billion Euros (USD 350 billion) last year. It relies heavily on China for critical minerals and the magnets made from them for cars and appliances. When China curtailed the export of those products in response to Trump's tariffs, European automakers cried foul. The EU has imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to support its carmakers by balancing out Beijing's heavy auto subsidies. China would like those tariffs revoked. The rapid growth in China's market share in Europe has sparked concern that Chinese cars will eventually threaten the EU's ability to produce its own green technology to combat climate change. Business groups and unions also fear that the jobs of 2.5 million auto industry workers could be put in jeopardy, as well those of 10.3 million more people whose employment depends indirectly on EV production. China has launched investigations into European pork and dairy products, and placed tariffs on French cognac and armagnac. It has criticised new EU regulations of medical equipment sales and fears upcoming legislation that could further target Chinese industries, said Alicia Garcia-Herrero, a China analyst at the Bruegel think tank. The EU has leverage because China needs to sell goods to the bloc, Garca-Herrero said. The EU remains China's largest export market, so China has every intention to keep it this way, especially given the pressure coming from the US, she said. China bristles at EU sanctions over Russia's war against Ukraine. The latest package included two Chinese banks that the EU accused of links to Russia's war industry. China's Commerce Ministry protested the listing and vowed to respond with necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and financial institutions. The EU looks beyond Beijing and Washington Buffeted between a combative Washington and a hardline Beijing, the EU has more publicly sought new alliances elsewhere, inking a trade pact with Indonesia and drafting trade deals with South America and Mexico. Costa and von der Leyen visited Tokyo the day before their meetings in Beijing, launching an alliance with Japan to boost economic cooperation, defend free trade and counter unfair trade practices. Both Europe and Japan see a world around us where protectionist instincts grow, weaknesses get weaponised, and every dependency exploited, von der Leyen said. So it is normal that two like-minded partners come together to make each other stronger.
