Bharat Dynamics’ Stock Gained More Than 6% Today

Mumbai, 13 August 2025: Bharat Dynamics’ stock gained 6.90% today to close at Rs 1588.50. Broader Nifty 50 index ended the day today, up by 0.54%.

Revenue Growth of 30% in Q1 FY26 Boosts Investor Sentiment

For the quarter ended 30 June 2025, Bharat Dynamics posted revenue from operations of ₹247.92 crore, up 29.69% from ₹191.16 crore in Q1 FY25. The growth was attributed to better order execution in missile and armament systems, supported by the ongoing demand under emergency procurement programmes.

Net Profit More Than Doubles on Improved Operational Efficiency

The company’s net profit rose 154.37% to ₹18.34 crore in Q1 FY26 from ₹7.21 crore a year earlier. The surge was supported by higher sales volumes and improved cost management.

On an operational basis, Bharat Dynamics reported an EBITDA loss of ₹45 crore, narrowing from an EBITDA loss of ₹52 crore in the same period last year.

Robust Order Book of ₹23,300 Crore Supports Future Revenue Visibility

Bharat Dynamics holds an order book worth nearly ₹23,300 crore, covering key missile and defence projects including Akash, Astra Mk1, and MRSAM. Additionally, the company is engaged in a project pipeline of around ₹50,000 crore, which is expected to drive revenue growth in the coming years. Last month, it secured an ₹809 crore order from Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited (AVNL) for an anti-tank guided missile system, to be executed over three years.
