Centum Electronics: Rs 1,797 cr order book and a Buy call

Centum Electronics (NSE: CENTUM) designs and manufactures electronics for aerospace, defence and space. Its products span embedded computers, actuator controllers, AC/DC converters and line-replaceable units. It has a 10-year-plus Thales relationship and supplies electronics for the Rafale, A380, A350, B787 and AW189. What happened: Q1 FY27 standalone revenue was Rs 204.8 crore (+10.7% YoY, -40.5% QoQ); continuing-operations PAT fell 12.9% to Rs 13.5 crore. Build-to-Specification (BTS) was Rs 56.6 crore, EMS Rs 148.2 crore (EMS +20% YoY). The consolidated headline PAT of Rs 105.5 crore includes a Rs 94.3 crore one-off gain from the court-approved deconsolidation of Centum T&S Group and French subsidiaries on 4 June 2026; recurring PAT from continuing operations was Rs 11.2 crore. Why it matters: The standalone order book was Rs 1,797.2 crore at Q1 FY27-end, up 31% YoY; BTS orders rose over 40%. A key win: Rs 66 crore Phase-I HAL order for AESA radar for the Utility Helicopter-Maritime platform, with Phase-II serial production potential of around Rs 500 crore. Revenue spanned India 46%, North America 31% and Europe & UK 23%. BTS margins of 18-20%+ versus EMS margins of 9-10% make the BTS mix the key earnings lever. What I am watching: BTS revenue share rising within the Rs 1,797 crore order book, the Rs 66 crore AESA radar execution and Phase-II conversion, and debt reduction from the current Rs 122 crore standalone borrowings. My stance: ICICI Securities initiated with a Buy and a Rs 5,900 target, implying 42% upside from Rs 4,157.50. The story makes sense if BTS scales. But the historical net-profit record has been uneven. I do not hold a position in Centum Electronics at the time of writing. This is not investment advice.

HAL to set up new Shakti engine production at Odisha

HAL to set up new Shakti engine production line at Odisha facility

SEBI RA – Shubh Consultancy – Sunil Kotak – INH000015826 Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) will soon have another production facility for the Shakti engine at its Koraput facility in Odisha, as India moves to expand domestic propulsion capacity alongside a sharp increase in orders for indigenous military helicopters. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh laid the foundation stone for the new production line on Tuesday. The new manufacturing facility will come up with an investment of ₹218 crore. He also witnessed the delivery of the 2,000th aero-engine by HAL's Koraput division. Describing the milestone as a significant achievement in India’s aerospace journey, Singh called for strengthening indigenous capabilities in the design, development, testing, manufacturing and maintenance of advanced aero-engines. "An aero-engine is the heart of an aircraft. Mastery of propulsion technology is essential for self-reliance in the aerospace and defence sector," he said and emphasised the need for expertise in precision manufacturing, advanced materials, metallurgy, cooling technologies, testing and stringent quality assurance. The new line will manufacture up to 100 engines annually and is scheduled to be fully operational by 2028-29, catering to indigenous helicopters, including the advanced light helicopter (ALH) Dhruv and light combat helicopter (LCH) Prachand.

HAL’s strong green candle reclaims both averages

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has surged through its converging 20-day and 55-day moving averages with a near-marubozu daily candle. The displayed price of ₹4,830.70 is almost at the session high of ₹4,833.90, while the opening price and low both stand at ₹4,680. This reflects sustained buying through the displayed session. The recovery follows a sharp dip towards ₹4,600, making the reclaim of both averages technically relevant. Buyers have recovered the ₹4,797–₹4,807 band in one move, putting the recent breakdown under question. The slopes add weight to the bullish interpretation. The 20-day average at ₹4,806.97 appears to be flattening after its decline, while the 55-day average at ₹4,797.43 continues to rise. Their convergence suggests that the short-term correction is meeting a still-improving medium-term trend. Holding above this band would strengthen the case that the pullback is ending. MACD has yet to confirm. Its line at −34.06 remains below the signal at −22.92, with a negative histogram of −11.14. However, the latest histogram bars show some contraction, suggesting that bearish momentum may be easing. Price is providing the stronger early signal. HAL’s aircraft, helicopter and maintenance activities link its business to defence procurement and fleet support. Delivery schedules, production execution and cash conversion determine how that demand translates into financial performance. A completed daily close above ₹4,807, followed by support around ₹4,800, would favour a recovery towards ₹4,950–₹5,000. Clearing that region could bring the August highs near ₹5,100–₹5,150 back into consideration. Losing the candle’s ₹4,680 low would weaken this bullish signal, while ₹4,600 remains the broader support reference.

Hindustan Aeronautics adds Rs 218 crore Shakti engine line

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is adding a second Shakti engine production line at its Koraput unit for Rs 218 crore, with the Defence Minister due to lay the foundation stone on 6 October. The stock rose as much as 2.8 percent against 1.6 percent for the Nifty India Defence index. The facts: - Rs 218 crore for a second Shakti line at Sunabeda - Shakti powers the ALH Dhruv and LCH Prachand; a Rs 62,700 crore order for 156 Prachands is on the books - I found no capacity figure or completion date - Q1 FY27 (12 August, standalone): revenue Rs 5,515 crore, up 14.4%; PAT Rs 1,581 crore, up 14.8%; EBITDA margin 27.7% against a FY27 guide of 30 to 31% Rs 218 crore is about 0.07 percent of the market cap, so the plant changes no estimate. The swing item is Tejas Mk1A: management says 10 aircraft by March 2027, with 27 airframes built, 10 F404 engines in and 12 more due by December. HAL [][***** shares trade at Rs 4,755.44 at 2:29 PM IST on 6 October on StockGro (NSE close Rs 4,680.00 on 5 October). P/E 34.12; sector P/E near 48. My view: hold, not a fresh entry. Most of today's move is the sector, not the plant. At 34x HAL is below the sector, but the year leans on Tejas handovers and a margin that must climb from 27.7% to the 30 to 31% guide. Holders stay into Q2 results (date not yet out; last year 12 November). Fresh money waits for the first Tejas handovers and a Q2 margin above 27.7%. Support Rs 4,680 (5 October close and today's low); resistance Rs 5,149.90 (52-week high). My exit is a close below Rs 4,680, or Tejas handovers slipping past March 2027.

HAL moves to 100% ownership of HATSOFF: Why does it matter?

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 50% stake in HATSOFF Helicopter Training Pvt Ltd from CAE Canada at nil consideration. Following completion, HATSOFF will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HAL. HATSOFF operates helicopter pilot-training simulation infrastructure for military and civil applications. The transaction is expected to be completed within 60 days, subject to the stated conditions. Why this matters HAL already owned 50% of the joint venture. Taking complete ownership gives the company full management control and could simplify decision-making around the training business. The deal itself involves no purchase consideration, so the immediate cash impact is limited. The larger question is how effectively HAL can scale and integrate the business. What to monitor next Completion of the share transfer. Revenue and profitability of HATSOFF. Capacity utilisation of training simulators. Integration and future investment requirements. Broader defence order inflows and execution. My analytical view: The transaction is more significant from a control and strategic-integration perspective than from an immediate financial-impact perspective. Future earnings contribution will be the key metric to track. SEBI RA Disclaimer: Umang Rajesh Bhutada is a SEBI-registered Research Analyst (INH000023001).
