Choice Broking | Rating: Subscribe with Caution
Choice Broking believes that the business is fairly priced, leaving limited space for further upside. Defense investment theme is long term in nature. “Given the strong sector outlook, we believe that the stock would provide returns in medium to long term.
However, the key concern linked to the sector is the highly stretched working capital cycle. Thus considering the above observations, we assign a “subscribe with caution”rating for the issue.
