Management commentary
Looking ahead, the management is optimistic about the financial year 2026 (FY26), with stronger customer relationships, a broader market footprint, and new opportunities emerging across segments. The company is firmly focused on delivering profitable growth, with a particular emphasis on expanding Ebitda in FY26 through a combination of operational efficiencies, higher value-added offerings, and enhanced scale benefits, the management said.
The company's strategic focus continues to be on high-margin and value-added products, particularly in the assemblies and now the Metal Bellows division, which the management expects to be the key growth drivers for the company for the next few years.
ICICI Securities' view on Aeroflex Industries
The share of the high-margin assembly segment stood at 52 per cent in Q4FY25 versus 34 per cent in Q4FY24. This reiterates the fact that the company is in the right direction to take the assembly segment share to 70 per cent in the next 2-3 years. More so, the company is also incurring a capex of increasing the assembly stations from 40 to 70 by FY26, which will lead to better product mix and higher margins.
Going ahead, with increasing domestic sales, new product development, and traction through Hyd-Air engineering revenue is subject to grow at a CAGR of 21 per cent over FY24-FY27.
Analysts expect the company to deliver a strong CAGR of 22.4 per cent and 30.4 per cent in revenues and PAT, respectively, over FY25-FY27. The lean balance sheet and strong cash flow generation will improve return on capital employed (ROCE) to 25 per cent in FY27 from 20.5 per cent in FY25, which will ensure the company commands a rich multiple.
The brokerage firm in the Q4 result update report said that it values the company at 34 times FY27 earnings per share EPS to arrive at a fair value of ₹235 with a 'Buy' rating.

This smallcap auto component co's stock rises 3%; Emkay upgrades to 'Buy'
Suprajit Engineering, auto component, and equipment maker, shares were in demand on Monday, as the stock advanced 2.9 per cent in trade on BSE. It registered an intraday high at ₹461.9 per share. At 12:44 PM, Suprajit Engineering's share price was trading higher by 1.3 per cent at ₹454.4 per share on the BSE. In comparison, the BSE Sensex was down 0.46 per cent at 82,123.68. The company's market capitalisation stood at ₹6,232.6 crore. The 52-week high of the stock was at ₹639.95 per share and the 52-week low of the stock was at ₹352.05 per share. Emkay upgrades Suprajit Engineering to 'Buy' Domestic brokerage Emkay Global Financial has upgraded its rating to 'Buy' from 'Add' on Suprajit Engineering. The brokerage has fixed the target price at ₹550 per share, implying an upside of around 22 per cent. The brokerage notes that despite a sharp turnaround in performance and global positioning, the company remains attractively valued—with the India business alone justifying the current ₹61,000 crore market capitalisation. 'Suprajit's standalone business trades at ~21x FY26E earnings, compared to ~28x for domestic peers. This offers both valuation comfort and downside protection,' the brokerage said in its latest note. 'Crucially, its global operations, which contribute 52 per cent of revenues, are being valued at near-zero despite five years of structural groundwork.' Over the past few years, the company has emerged as the second-largest global player in control cables, behind Japan's Hilex, through strategic acquisitions such as Wescon, Kongsberg LDC, and SCS. These moves have expanded its global reach and positioned it well for market share gains amid industry consolidation. Notably, profitability in the global business is turning around, with H2FY25 margins crossing the double-digit mark despite macroeconomic headwinds. The SCS acquisition—once a stressed asset—is now witnessing customer traction and improved growth, particularly in Morocco. The company expects SCS to turn Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda)-positive by Q4FY26, with a mid-term margin potential of 6–10 percent. Emkay projects a 9 per cent revenue Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for Suprajet's global division over FY25–28, with margins expanding to 10.9 per cent by FY28 from 5.6 per cent in FY25. Domestic business looks beyond cables In India, Suprajit commands over 80 per cent market share in control cables for two-wheeler original equipment makers (OEMs) and has posted a 10 per cent revenue CAGR and 11 per cent profit after tax (PAT) CAGR over the last five years. But the company is now evolving 'beyond cables', with aggressive research and development (R&D)-led forays into electronics, brakes, instrument clusters, and actuators. Breakthrough order wins from both traditional and electric vehicle (EV) players—including seat activation chipsets for Jaguar Land Rover and electronic grips for a leading Chinese EV OEM—highlight SEL's growing relevance in next-gen mobility solutions. The domestic business is expected to maintain double-digit growth, with substantial upside from the brakes segment and faster scale-up of Phoenix Lamps Division (PLD). These optional growth levers are not yet priced into the stock, Motilal Oswal notes. Outlook and valuation Overall, Emkay Financial projects revenue, Ebitda, and PAT CAGR of 9 per cent, 21 per cent, and 48 per cent respectively over FY25–28, with return on equity (RoE) improving to 19 per cent and near-zero net debt. Though near-term macro concerns have led to 6 per cent cut in FY26/27 earnings estimates, the firm remains bullish on Suprajit's medium-term prospects.
