Interpretation & Insights

  • IZMO delivers exceptional margin quality (~21.8% PAT, ~32.8% EBITDA) with strong revenue and profit growth, all while remaining lean and debt-free. Its small-cap scale lowers its valuation.

  • Tata Elxsi, with its diversified service offerings and large scale, commands industry-leading profitability metrics, though FY25 showed slight PAT decline, signaling pressure in current macro conditions.

  • KPIT Technologies excels in growth trajectory, with 41% PAT growth, strong 5-year CAGR in both top-line and bottom-line, and healthy balance sheet, but operates at more moderate margins (~21% EBITDA).

  • Syrma SGS is a high-growth manufacturing play, with robust 9M numbers and aggressive growth expectations, though lacking detailed margin and return data.
