Mazagon Dock: What analyst say

ICICI Direct Research believe that revenue growth beyond FY27E is expected to surge again post the placement of large contracts like 3 additional submarines and 6 next generation submarines (expected to be placed in coming months). It estimates revenue growth at 12 per cent CAGR over FY25-28E. Current order-book would drive growth over the next 2-3 years, it said.

Order pipeline remains strong for the company, considering the opportunities from both defence & commercial segments. Management has recently signed an MoU with Swan Defence where-in they would together bid for Landing Platform Dock. We believe that these large naval defence projects provide longer term order inflow visibility for Mazagon Dock, it added.

Mazagon Dock offers a compelling investment case on the back of its strategic position at the centre of India’s naval modernisation and a strong, long-duration order pipeline. It currently has an order book of Rs 23,700 crore, providing visibility through FY27. It has a robust pipeline exceeding Rs 3 lakh crore, led by submarine opportunities, said Ashika Research.

"Mazagon's technological moat is anchored by its unique ability to build both destroyers and conventional submarines, supported by capacity to simultaneously construct 21 platforms. It remains strong with 18-26 per cent revenue CAGR over FY21-25, Ebitda margin of 17-18 per cent, ROE/ROCE of 25-30 per cent, and a debt-free, cash-rich balance sheet aided by negative working capital," it added.
