Operating margins swing sharply from -18.3% (Jun 2025) to 18.14% (Sep 2024), indicating operational risks and earnings volatility
Expensive valuation at PE 98.41 leaves minimal margin for error on growth expectations or execution
Defense procurement cycles and geopolitical factors drive demand variability—verify government capex priorities and order pipeline

Bulk deals are a client trading over 0.5% of the equity in a session, aggregated across their trades; block deals are single negotiated trades in the exchange’s block window. Each is reported by the exchange it was crossed on, so NSE and BSE rows are separate trades rather than the same trade twice.
