Speaking on Paras Defence share; Ravi Singhal, Vice Chairman at GCL Securities said, "Paras Defence share has hit our given target of ₹620 to ₹630 and now we advise investors to exit at current levels. Paras Defence was expected to zoom further after listing as the defence stock had some potential for upside move due to the buzz in defence sector after some recent announcements made by the Government of India (GoI). At current levels, Paras Defence scrip has reached to its maximum valuation and from here heavy profit-booking is awaited. So, it's opportune for those who hold this defence counter to exit. Those who booked profit earlier and want to re-enter are advised to wait for the profit-booking and re-enter at around ₹500 per share levels maintaining stop loss at ₹460. In fact, fresh buyers can also initiate buying at ₹500 levels."
Highlighting the fundamentals that augurs well for Paras Defence shares; Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart said, "Paras Defence and Space Technologies are primarily engaged in the designing, developing, manufacturing, and testing of a variety of defence and space engineering products and solutions. Eyeing the government's focus on the Space and Defense sector, it is expected that both the segments of the company are likely to be benefited. The "Make in India" campaign by the government to be self-reliant by 2027 will give a boost to the industry. The company has strong order book as well." These augur well for the stock in long-term, said Meena.
