We like its focus on revenue/geography diversification, customer base expansion and inorganic growth which could keep the earnings growth strong. It is valued at 30.5xFY22 P/E which is reasonable compared to listed peers. Given the fancy for Defence stocks and continuous news flows in that space, we expect the IPO to do well. We suggest investors to Subscribe for listing gains," said Motilal Oswal.
The company proposes to utilise the net proceeds from the fresh issue towards debt payment, funding working capital requirements, investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary Raneal Advanced Systems to fund its capital expenditure and general corporate purposes.

“During FY20-22, DCX registered CAGR revenue, EBITDA, PAT growth of 56.6%, 228.3%, 159.5%, respectively. Its order book has increased to ₹2,369 crore in FY22. However, considering the low margin on higher exposure towards contract manufacturing through offsets, significant improvement in margins needs to be seen in future. Post issue P/E at 30.5x FY22 EPS looks fair as compared to peers like Data Patterns and Paras Defence," said ICICI Securities.
