Answers

Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.

How fast it has been growing

Sales grew 33.8% over the past year, and 29.2% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales held steady, near 37.9% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 29.2% a year against a sector median of 10.6% — 18.6 percentage points faster.

Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating

At 84.4× earnings it costs 3.5× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 43.7×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 72.3×, the 78th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 3.2 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 26%.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

How it compares with its peers

Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Aerospace & Defense), it ranks 7 of 26 on returns, 4 of 24 on growth, 2 of 26 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?

A narrow advantage: it earns 21.9% on capital, ahead of 73% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

Whether its growth pays for itself

No — Over the last five years it made ₹162 crore of cash from the business but spent ₹343 crore on plant and equipment, ₹181 crore more than it made; the gap was from shareholders — borrowings did not rise. But only about 26 of every 100 rupees of profit it reported over 12 years arrived as cash — the rest is tied up. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 281 days for its cash to waiting 357 days for its cash.

News impact

Big market events that reach Data Patterns (India) Limited, and how the effect spreads.

Who it hits first

  • Axiscades Technologies Limited, a Capital Goods engineering company that supplies parts to Bharat Electronics and Hindustan Aeronautics, saw large funds buy about Rs 830 crore of its shares at Rs 1,824 each.
  • Its stock jumped over 7% as the market read buying by Kotak Mutual Fund and Abakkus as a strong vote of confidence.
  • The trade moves existing shares between sellers and new fund owners, so the company gets no new cash or orders, only a higher price and stronger holders.

Who may gain

  • Existing Axiscades shareholders, whose holdings rose over 7% on the fund buying.
  • The sellers in the stake sale, who could sell a large Rs 830 crore block at Rs 1,824 without crashing the price.
  • Kotak Mutual Fund and Abakkus, who built a large position in one go at a fixed price.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

No downstream impact — customers Bharat Electronics and Hindustan Aeronautics keep buying as before, since the share sale does not change what Axiscades makes or delivers.

Upstream

No upstream impact — suppliers of parts and materials see no new orders because this was a trade in existing Axiscades shares, not new production.

Where demand moves

Business

No new business demand — no fresh orders or contracts for Axiscades or its rivals; factories and order books are unchanged, only share ownership changed.

Capital

Strong capital demand for Axiscades shares — about Rs 830 crore of fund money flowed into the stock at Rs 1,824, lifting the price over 7% and tightening shares available for sale.

How it spreads across sectors

Capital Goods

Light positive mood for small defence engineering peers like Data Patterns and Apollo, but no new orders, so any lift fades fast.

Information Technology

No real readthrough — Axiscades is a Capital Goods supplier despite the tag, so software and IT services firms see no change.

When it plays out

Immediate

Axiscades stays firm near Rs 1,824 with heavy trading as the market digests the Rs 830 crore block and the over 7% jump; peers stay flat.

Medium term

Price follows earnings and order wins, not the block deal; the stake sale matters only as proof that big funds back the story.

Short term

Axiscades drifts on overall market mood and results, with the fund holding acting as a floor; no follow-on orders expected for rivals.

Who it hits first

  • Hindustan Aeronautics, the state-run company that builds the Tejas fighter jet, is nearing Tejas Mk1A deliveries that make up 43% of its order book.
  • Its chief now expects to deliver 10 jets this year, double the 5 that Jefferies had earlier pencilled in.
  • Brokerage Jefferies kept its Buy rating with a Rs 6,800 target, calling rising delivery visibility a trigger for the shares to be re-rated.

Who may gain

  • Hindustan Aeronautics (fighter-jet maker) — turns 43% of its order book into sales as 10 Tejas jets deliver this year
  • HAL's jet parts suppliers (electronics, radar, special-metal, and precision-parts makers) — faster component orders as output doubles
  • Defence investors broadly — a marquee deliveryhitting its guide lifts mood across the sector (sentiment only)

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Downstream (buyers of the jet): the Indian Air Force gets its fighters sooner, which strengthens squadrons, but no listed company sits on this side so no stock moves.

Upstream

Upstream (parts for the jet): electronics, radar, special-alloy, and precision-parts suppliers to HAL should see faster orders as jet output doubles from 5 to 10; telecom-gear firms with similar names are not part of this chain.

Where demand moves

Business

Business demand flows to HAL first, since each delivered Tejas jet converts order book into sales, and then to its jet parts suppliers as output doubles from 5 toward 10 aircraft. Rival jet makers win nothing, and telecom firms that share the Tejas name sit outside this demand chain entirely.

Capital

Investor money should rotate into HAL on Jefferies' repeated Buy call and Rs 6,800 target, with lighter sympathy flows into its listed suppliers. Broader defence peers may catch a mild sentiment bid, while mistaken-identity buying in telecom lookalikes should fade fast.

How it spreads across sectors

Capital Goods

HAL hitting its jet guide lifts the defence corner of the sector and pulls supplier orders forward, supporting sentiment for peers.

Telecommunication

No ripple at all — Tejas Networks only shares the jet's name and sells telecom gear, so HAL's news does not travel there.

When it plays out

Immediate

1–7 days: HAL shares firm on the doubled delivery guide and Jefferies' Buy repeat; suppliers tick up while telecom lookalikes stay flat.

Medium term

1–6 months: each confirmed jet handover converts more of the 43% order-book share into reported sales, deciding whether the re-rating sticks.

Short term

1–4 weeks: investors watch for delivery milestones and engine-supply updates that confirm the 10-jet guide is on track.

Who it hits first

  • Avantel, which makes telecom and defence electronics, won a Rs 177.35 crore purchase order from Zetwerk Manufacturing Businesses for satellite communication equipment.
  • The work runs to March 2027 and lifts sales visibility after strong Q1 FY27, sending shares up 8-9%.
  • Rival equipment makers won none of this order, so they see no sales gain.

Who may gain

  • Avantel gains about Rs 177.35 crore of confirmed domestic manufacturing work through March 2027.
  • Zetwerk secures home-made satellite communication gear for its own delivery needs.
  • Short-term Avantel shareholders benefit from the 8-9% price jump on the news.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Downstream, Zetwerk receives the satcom equipment, while Avantel's listed customers Bharat Electronics and Larsen & Toubro see no change from this separate deal.

Upstream

No named parts suppliers for Avantel appear in the pack, so no upstream vendor books work from this order yet.

Where demand moves

Business

New equipment demand flows to Avantel's factory as it builds satcom gear for Zetwerk; rivals book nothing from this tender.

Capital

Buyers chased Avantel shares up 8-9% on the order, while peer defence names see only light sympathy buying without fresh inflows.

How it spreads across sectors

Defence

Mild positive mood as a Rs 177 crore satcom order confirms defence electronics demand, but no sales spread to peers.

Telecom

Little effect — the gear is satellite communication equipment for one buyer, not a telecom network rollout.

When it plays out

Immediate

1–7 days: Avantel stays bid after the 8-9% jump as the Rs 177.35 crore order sinks in; peers drift flat.

Medium term

1–6 months: revenue builds as Avantel executes; re-rating needs more wins beyond this one order.

Short term

1–4 weeks: focus shifts to execution timeline to March 2027 and margins; no follow-on orders yet.

Who it hits first

  • Adani Defence (ADANIENT): Rs 1,800 cr Verba nomination plus six Igla-S contracts — concrete order wins
  • BDL: long-range air-to-air missile contract with Russian tech transfer
  • HAL: Su-30MKI upgrade lead with Russian consultancy; Prachand fuselage line

Who may gain

  • HAL, BDL direct; BEL mixed (budgets up, new rival in); subsystem suppliers (Data Patterns, Astra, Paras, Zen, MTAR, Cyient DLM, BEML, Premier Explosives)

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Armed forces get indigenous air-defence cover faster via emergency and single-vendor routes.

Upstream

Russian tech-transfer inputs plus domestic subsystems (RF, optics, explosives, simulators) ramp.

Defence Ministry notifies its sixth Positive Indigenisation List - 405 items but only about Rs 3,070 crore of business potential - and defence stocks jump up to 10%

The government has banned imports of 405 more defence parts so they must be made in India. Defence share prices jumped up to 10%, but the work involved is worth only about Rs 3,070 crore spread across the whole industry, which is small next to the reaction.

Who it hits first

  • 405 defence items can no longer be imported, so defence public sector undertakings and the Coast Guard must buy them from Indian suppliers.
  • The addressable pool is about Rs 3,070 crore spread across the whole industry - small next to a single defence PSU's annual revenue, and the key reason this is graded MEDIUM despite share prices moving up to 10%.
  • 389 of the 405 items are obligations on the defence PSUs (Bharat Electronics, Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Dynamics), which are buyers here, not sellers.
  • The actual sellers are private sub-system makers, MSMEs and start-ups - Paras Defence, Zen Technologies, Data Patterns and Astra Microwave among the listed names.

Who may gain

  • Private defence sub-system suppliers who can qualify for line-replaceable units, spares and components: Paras Defence (optics and electronics), Astra Microwave (radar and radio-frequency), Data Patterns (defence electronics and test systems), Zen Technologies (simulators and counter-drone).
  • Domestic specialty metal and forging suppliers, since raw materials are explicitly named in the list scope.
  • Over a longer horizon, the defence PSUs themselves, through a more resilient supply chain and less exposure to foreign spares delays and sanctions.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Downstream, the Indian Armed Forces and the Coast Guard are the end customers. Their gain is availability rather than price - domestic sourcing shortens the spares lead time for the ALH, LUH, Su-30MKI, LCA and AL-31FP fleets and removes the sanctions and foreign-exchange risk on those spares. In the near term, though, platform readiness could dip slightly while new domestic vendors are qualified against the incumbent import.

Upstream

Upstream of the defence PSUs, foreign original-equipment manufacturers and their Indian import agents lose the spares and sub-assembly business for these 405 items. That demand transfers to Indian component makers, and further upstream to domestic specialty steel, titanium and forging suppliers, since raw materials are inside the list's scope.

Where demand moves

Business

Demand for these 405 items does not grow - it moves. Orders that previously went to overseas original-equipment manufacturers and their spares channels are redirected to Indian suppliers, so the foreign supplier loses and the qualified Indian supplier gains. The bottleneck is qualification: a defence PSU cannot switch a line-replaceable unit to a new vendor without testing and certification, which typically takes several quarters. That is why this reads as a medium-term order pipeline rather than an immediate revenue event, and why the total Rs 3,070 crore will land unevenly across two to three financial years.

Capital

On the announcement, money rotated into small and mid-cap private defence suppliers, which is where the up-to-10% moves happened. The history says this rotation reverses: after the July 2024 list, five of seven names in this group were down between 4% and 17% a month later. Institutional money tends to stay with the large defence PSUs on quality grounds while retail flow chases the headline into the smaller suppliers, which is the flow pattern that produces the one-month give-back.

How it spreads across sectors

Capital Goods

A modest, multi-year order pipeline for private defence sub-system suppliers; a sourcing obligation, not new revenue, for the defence PSUs.

Defence

Import substitution deepens from whole platforms into spares and raw materials, which is where the recurring aftermarket revenue actually sits.

Metals & Mining

Specialty steel, titanium and forging suppliers gain, since raw materials are explicitly inside the list's scope.

A pattern seen before

Cascade chain

  • 6th Positive Indigenisation List bans import of 405 defence items
  • Defence PSUs and Coast Guard must source domestically
  • Order pool of ~Rs 3,070 crore redirects from foreign OEMs to Indian sub-system suppliers
  • Vendor qualification over several quarters gates revenue recognition into FY28
  • Specialty steel, titanium and forging demand rises as raw materials are in scope

When it plays out

Immediate

The announcement-day pop of up to 10% in the smaller private defence names. On the history, this is the part most likely to unwind.

Medium term

Vendor qualification and certification runs over several quarters, so revenue recognition is a fiscal 2028 story spread across many suppliers. The structural gain is a shorter spares lead time and lower sanctions exposure for the fleets named in the list.

Short term

Watch for the actual tenders and 'Make' procedure notifications from the defence PSUs, which is when the Rs 3,070 crore starts converting into nameable orders. Until a tender is issued, no company can book anything from this.
