Bharat Electronics reported first-quarter fiscal 2026-27 revenue growth of 25.00 percent to INR 55.00 billion, while profit after tax rose 8.00 percent to INR 10.50 billion.
Orders support the valuation case
The target revision came with a BUY recommendation and a valuation based on 45 times September 2028 estimated earnings. Motilal Oswal also noted that gross margin fell to 45.50 percent from 53.20 percent a year earlier, while EBITDA margin declined to 25.10 percent from 29.00 percent.

What does the order pipeline mean?
Management retained fiscal 2026-27 guidance for revenue growth of more than 15.00 percent, an EBITDA margin above 28.00 percent and order inflows above INR 550.00 billion.
