IMO, this is the most important slide as I see Data Patterns to be a long term sectoral play.

Though the valuation is a bit expensive, the growth rate is sustainable with good order book visibility. Furthermore, the export potential is huge going forward. Currently only 10% of revenue is from exports.

Positives to look out for:

  • More value added products with increased sophistication
  • Increased client base

Sectoral tailwinds:

  • Commercialisation effort of Indian defense - govt is quite keen to improve the export fraction
  • Make in India - Particularly for defense, India wants to be self reliant

(haven’t listened to concall yet)

Data Patterns diverse product range includes it products supplied for products like LCA-Tejas, Light Utility Helicopter, BrahMos missile.

I understand outlay from budget may be for various major defense products but Data Patterns product range diversification will always find its applications like Radars, Communication Systems, Electronic Warfare and Satellite.

Though the fundamentals look strong and revenue growth prospects are there, the current stock valuations seem to account for a very high growth far into future.
If the PAT becomes 3x over next 5 years, the current valuation is still justifiable.

Few questions in my mind right now:

  • what is the revenue & PAT projection that is reasonable for Data Patterns? As per reverse DCF, something around 40% growth in PAT is priced in.
  • will their orderbook growth continue over to next few years?
  • will they be able to service their orderbook with their capacity additions?
  • is there more upside from a fundamental POV considering the current rich valuation?

Just putting this out as defence sector has run up a bit and we need to be cautious not to get caught in cycle peak / bubbles.

The ‘reserves’ increased to 2x from 546 cr in '22 to 1156 cr in '23; while the PAT increase was just 40cr.

During the same time outstanding shared increased by 8% i.e. 51.8mn shares to 55.9 mn shares.

Looking for some advice from accounting experts on what to conclude from this? how are reserves increasing so dramatically?

Whenever u raise money, shares of a company are issued at premium to face value.
The excess is Securities premium reserve which gets added in R&S

Hence if u see, all loss making companies like Zomato, paytm, reserves increased despite loss. it was due to the IPO/QIB/QIP that companies do.

hope that helps

Thanks @nikhil_chowdhary , appreciate the explaination.

I have a followup question, as the no. of shares is increasing through IPO/QIP/QIB etc the EPS growth might get impacted ? hypothetical example, if the PAT grows by 10% and same year company increase no. of shares by 10%, the EPS would remain constant inspite of the growth and hence minority shareholder doesnt get the full benefit of the growth?
