Valuation & recommendation  

If we look at the price band of MTAR Technologies and calculate the P/E ratio at the higher price of Rs 575, then we would get a value of P/E ratio of 51. The company has a diverse and stable client base that provides the required stability. MTAR Technologies has been performing well on the financial front, and its operating margins are growing consistently. With the recent government initiatives such as 'Make in India', the country is aiming to become an exporter in the defence sector, rising budgetary allocations for defence and space sectors thereby, providing a great opportunity to the company. The company has a very good moat as getting projects in nuclear, defence and space, is very difficult for other companies. The government’s focus on space and defence will help the company to get more projects in future. It already has an order book of Rs 300 crore. Looking at the above positives, we believe that the company will keep growing its business at a healthy rate, and hence, you can invest for a listing gain.
