DCX is a proxy play on growth in defense expenditure in India via the offset route. DCX has demonstrated its scalability and execution by growing at 57% CAGR over FY20-22 and has scaled revenue of Rs. 1102 Cr in FY22. Core profitability for DCX in terms of ROCE is similar to listed peers while its historical growth has been higher. With an order book of Rs. 2564 Cr (2.3x FY22 revenue) executable over FY23-25, we expect DCX’s strong growth trajectory to continue. We believe DCX is being offered at reasonable valuations at 30.8x FY22 earnings considering peer valuations and future growth opportunities in the defense industry. We recommend subscribing to the issue.
