Shares of DCX Systems have had a quiet run at the bourses over the last six months. The small-cap stock has gone down close to 9% in the past six months. However, analysts at KRChoksey think this could change over the coming 12 months.

The DCX Systems Analyst: Unnati Jadhav for KRChoksey maintained the “buy” rating for the stock with a price target of ₹519. The target indicates an around 54% upside for the stock’s current market price of around ₹337.

The DCX Systems Thesis: The brokerage firm said that DCX Systems achieved Q4FY24 revenue from operations of ₹746.2 crore, surpassing the analyst’s expectations by 28% due to strong execution. The recovery of inflated material costs from customers is anticipated to normalize the gross margin impact seen in Q4FY24 in the coming quarters.

However, the brokerage house pointed out that despite strong revenue growth during the quarter, net profit growth declined year-on-year due to higher material costs and an increased tax rate. The company is likely to recover ₹20-25 crore from customers under the “material guarantee” clause, the analysts added.

The analysts highlighted EBITDA margin was affected by higher raw material costs, standing at 5.08% in Q4FY24 compared to 8.98% in Q4FY23 and 7.37% in Q3FY24. Management has indicated that margins are expected to improve in FY25, driven by nearly 70% captive consumption of PCBAs.

The brokerage house said that as of March 31, 2024, DCX Systems’ order book stood at approximately ₹800 crores, with a robust order pipeline. Successful conversions of this underlying order pipeline could secure revenue for the next couple of years, the brokerage added in the research note.

Price Action: DCX Systems’ share price was down 0.16% to trade at ₹338.20 in the early hours of trading on Friday.
