ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or Bankrupt - Part 54: Will manufacturing capability help this firm move into defence space?
The auto ancillary sector is being forced to answer a difficult question: When technology changes, which suppliers remain relevant and which get left behind? This company stands out because it is not built around one narrow-end market. It has automotive at the centre, but also has exposure to engineering, defence, aerospace and other industrial segments. That wider presence offers some support. Still, the main issue remains unresolved. A meaningful part of its current auto-linked basket belongs to the old combustion era, while its manufacturing capability may still travel into newer applications. This is less a collapse story and more a test of adaptation.

These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of up to 25%
The official kickoff of the Q4 earnings season happens when a large IT company announces its results, although the quarter’s business updates have already started to roll in. Now, remember this: The Gulf war has affected every business in every country in the world, but the Q4 results will not entirely reflect its impact, as it escalated only in March. It is the Q1 FY27 results that will fully account for the spiked oil prices, the currency fluctuations, and, of course, the disruption in global supply chains. But, as they say, there is never a perfect time to invest; investing is a journey that one has to manage.
