HAL-GE Fighter Jet

Hindustan Aeronautics jumped 4% higher at the bourses on Monday following the company&#8217;s second-quarter results where the firm&#8217;s net profit was seen jumping by 22%.



What Happened: The aerospace and defence company&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41963672/hal-q2-net-profit-jumps-22-to-1-510-cr-beats-estimates">net profit for the quarter</a> under review stood at ₹1,510.4 crore, ahead of the street&#8217;s estimates. Revenue from operations came in at ₹5,976.29 crore, a 6% increase&nbsp;year-on-year, below the analysts&#8217; estimates.



CLSA has an &#8220;outperform&#8221; rating on HAL with a target price of ₹4,731. Despite delays in Russian aircraft and helicopter orders, HAL&#8217;s order pipeline for the next decade remains strong at $45 billion (₹3.8 lakh crore), it said. 



The brokerage sees an expected order of large helicopters and Sukhoi aircraft in the second half of FY25, along with visibility on the GE engine deal as the major catalysts in the firm&#8217;s growth.

Jefferies has a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating on HAL with a target price of ₹5,500. In Q2 FY25, the company saw a 7% YoY increase in EBITDA, with margins improving by 37 basis points to 27.5%. 



The higher-margin service income likely played a key role in the performance, especially given delays in aircraft deliveries due to engine supply issues with its partnership with GE, the brokerage said.



Antique Broking also maintained its &#8220;buy&#8221; rating for the stock with a target price of ₹5,902. Antique Broking expressed confidence in HAL&#8217;s long-term business prospects and execution capabilities. The brokerage estimates that HAL is on track to achieve a 15% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue over FY24–27E.



With the potential for multi-year double-digit earnings growth and a robust return ratio profile exceeding 20%, analysts at Anrique believe the stock offers an attractive valuation at current levels.



Price Action: Shares of HAL rose 2.62% to trade at ₹4,194.05 on Monday morning. The stock jumped 4% to hit an intraday high of ₹4,248.

NBCC&#8216;s share price has remained under pressure ever since the company posted its earnings for the quarter ended September. However, analysts at Nuvama think the stock can bounce back.



The NBCC Analyst: Analysts at Nuvama upgraded the stock&#8217;s rating to &#8220;buy&#8221; from &#8220;hold&#8221; with a price target of ₹133. The target indicates an around 47% upside from the stock&#8217;s last closing price of ₹89.90.



The NBCC Thesis: Improved order intake, execution, and margins, coupled with progress in real estate monetization, are seen as positives by the analysts. The brokerage added that following the recent correction in the stock, it is upgrading the PSU&#8217;s rating.



Nuvama highlighted that NBCC&#8217;s revenue for the September quarter grew 19% year-on-year (YoY) and 15% sequentially to around ₹2,460 crore. However, the brokerage noted that the EBITDA margin declined by around 60 basis points YoY and 20 basis points quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to 4.1%, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41932498/nbcc-q2-net-profit-jumps-53-to-122-cr">which weighed on the adjusted profit after tax (PAT). </a>



The company has guided for a revenue of ₹13,000 crore in FY25, up from ₹10,400 crore in FY24. The construction major expects EBITDA margins to improve to 5.5–6% (from 4.9% in FY24) and PAT margins to rise to 6–7%. The brokerage added that NBCC is also targeting a 20% YoY revenue growth in FY26.

The brokerage also mentioned the company&#8217;s strong order. NBCC&#8217;s consolidated o<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42023014/nbcc-sees-orderbook-expand-to-84-400-cr-in-q2">rder book grew QoQ to ₹84,400 crore in the September quarter, compared to ₹81,000 crore in the previous quarter. </a>



Of this, around ₹22,000 crore worth of projects are currently under execution. The company awarded contracts worth ₹3,600 during Q2FY25 and ₹7,300 crore in the first half of FY25, with plans to award ₹14,000 crore–15,000 crore worth of projects for the entire fiscal year, the brokerage noted.



While the company&#8217;s book-to-bill ratio stands at a robust 7.6x, around 45% of its order book comprises self-revenue-generating projects, where the pace of real estate monetization will play a critical role, according to Nuvama.



The brokerage noted that NBCC has fully sold its World Trade Center project and plans a bulk sale for the Sarojini Nagar project once the occupancy certificate is received. In the Amrapali project, the company has sold inventory worth ₹3,650 billion so far.



Price Action: NBCC&#8217;s share price was up 0.22% to trade at ₹89.80 on Monday morning.

Hero Motocorp shares were on the rise on Monday after the company posted its results on Thursday last week that beat street estimates.



What Happened: The two-wheeler maker <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41977061/hero-motocorp-q2-net-profit-jumps-14-to-1-203-54-cr-beats-estimates">posted a net profit of ₹1,203.54 crore</a>, making a 14% year-on-year increase. The company that manufactures Harley Davidson in India reported an 11% jump in revenue in operations to ₹10,463 crore in the quarter, beating analyst estimates. 



The company sold 15.20 lakh units in the quarter compared to 14.16 lakh units in the previous year. Niranjan Gupta, CEO of Hero Motocorp said that the company will release three models Xpulse 210, Xtreme 250R and Karizma XMR 250 in the Entry and Deluxe segment in the next 6 months.



Brokerage Views: Jefferies gave a "buy" call with a target price of ₹5,500. The brokerage said that Q2 results were in line. EBITDA per vehicle rose to a new high in the quarter, said the research firm. According to Jefferies, the Indian two-wheeler market is poised for strong double-digit growth in the next 3 years.

However, the research firm noted that the company's decline in the 2-wheeler market share is a concern and adverse demand profile shifts are a concern. Any success of the company in the premium and EV segment will be positive. 



Nomura also kept a "buy" call with a target price of ₹5,805. The brokerage said that rural improvement is a key catalyst. Despite the company posting healthy earnings growth and attractive valuation, the margins have room to improve, the research firm said. The brokerage also expects the two-wheeler market to grow by 10% over FY25-26 due to rebalancing of growth and positive monsoons.&nbsp;



The brokerage firm noted that there are early signs of rural pick up which will support sales as the rural mix makes up 54% of the sales. The research firm said that the company's margins will improve as EV drag reduces due to new models and PLI benefits. 



Price Action: Shares of Hero Motocorp rose 3.41% to ₹4,760.90 on Monday morning.

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has bagged a substantial Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contract from South Central Railway.

The contract entails the doubling of the track between Navipet Station and Indalvai Station in Telangana, excluding the Nizamabad Yard. This project is a segment of the Mudkhed-Medchal doubling project in the&nbsp;state.



The project, worth ₹294.94 crores, also includes electrification and signalling works. The contract is domestic and is expected to be executed within 24 months. The company was declared the lowest<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41877831/rvnl-bags-294-94-cr-order-from-south-central-railway"> bidder for the order earlier this month.</a>

Shares of Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) have been under the pump after the company <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41964223/bdls-q2-net-profit-slumps-16-to-122-53-cr-revenue-drops-11">posted its earnings for the quarter ended September</a>. However, analysts at Antique Broking see the stock turning things around.



The BDL Analyst: Antique Broking maintained its &#8220;buy&#8221; rating for the stock, but reduced the target price to ₹1,357 from ₹1,579. The revised target still indicates an around 42% upside from the stock&#8217;s current market price of around ₹955.



The BDL Thesis: BDL reported Q2FY25 revenue of ₹550 crore, a decline of 11.5% year-on-year (YoY) and below Antique Broking&#8217;s<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41962178/bdl-shares-in-green-ahead-of-q2-results-what-to-expect"> estimate of ₹700 crore. </a>Analysts attributed the revenue miss to continued supply chain challenges that have persisted for the past eight quarters, hampering the execution of the company's robust ₹19,000 crore order backlog.



EBITDA stood at ₹98.8 crore, below the brokerage&#8217;s estimate of ₹140 crore, due to under-absorption of costs. EBITDA margin contracted 370 basis points YoY to 18.1%. PAT came in at ₹120 crore, a 16.7% YoY decline, and below Antique&#8217;s estimate of ₹157 crore.



Despite these issues, BDL has maintained its revenue guidance of ₹3,000 crore+ for FY25. The company plans to prioritize orders with a functional supply chain and defer those facing challenges to FY26, the brokerage said.

With an order backlog of ₹19,000 crore —equivalent to 8.6x its trailing 12-month revenue—Antique highlighted robust revenue visibility.



The brokerage said that the defence manufacturer should see a strong influx of orders. The company expects to finalise orders worth ₹2,000–5,000 crore in FY25, with a strong pipeline exceeding ₹20,000 crore over the next two to three years. Key projects in the pipeline include large-scale orders for Astra MK II, QRSAM, and MRSAM. BDL had secured ₹1,760 crore in orders during FY24.



Antique noted that while supply chain issues have dampened execution, BDL is taking steps to address these challenges. The company is developing alternate strategies to accelerate deliveries for orders unaffected by supply chain disruptions, with execution expected to pick up in the second half of FY25. The brokerage believes that supply chain normalization and indigenization efforts will enhance BDL's ability to execute its large order backlog.



Antique remains optimistic about BDL's long-term prospects, citing strong business fundamentals and export opportunities. 



Price Action: BDL&#8217;s share price was down 3.48% to trade at ₹955.15 on Monday afternoon.
