Yes Securities reiterates 'Reduce' call on Dixon Tech:
Yes Securities kept a 'Reduce' rating on the stock, with a revised target price of Rs 15,556 per share. This implies a downside potential of more than 3.5 percent from the stock’s previous closing price. The domestic brokerage noted that the firm’s revenue missed estimate by 3 percent, while consumer electronics and home appliances businesses were weaker because of temporary demand delays after the GST rate cut in August and early monsoon impact.
“We continue to value DIXON at 55x as company return ratios continue to remain healthy. We believe there could be risk to revenue in other products (Ex of mobile) as demand environment continues to be subdued,” it added.
Here's what Phillip Capital said:
Phillip Capital noted that the firm has cuts its FY27 mobile phone volume guidance to 55-60 million units from 60–65 million units. Mobile phone and electronic manufacturing services segment accounted for 90 percent of its revenue.
The brokerage said that the company missed Street's PAT estimates by 13 percent due to increase in minority interest in its Ismartu and Bharti subsidiary. It added that achieving volume guidance seems tricky given that the festive season is over and H2 is generally weak
Motilal Oswal sees 40% upside potential:
Motilal Oswal reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating on the stock, with a target price of Rs 22,500 per share. This implies an upside potential of nearly 40 percent from the stock’s previous closing price. “Dixon Technology’s 2QFY26 revenue/PAT came in line with our estimates, with the mobile segment registering a strong growth of 42% YoY. Due to the base effect of Ismartu integration and improved volumes from existing clients, mobile volumes jumped YoY during the quarter. This quarter's performance was hit to an extent by demand slowdown due to GST rate changes and the postponement of decision-making from customers,” the domestic brokerage said.
“Demand has started recovering for the consumer durable segment post GST rate cut, and we believe this will further be reflected in Q3 FY26 results. With continuous focus on backward integration through component PLI and plans for long-term JV agreements with clients, we believe DIXON will continue to benefit from volume and margin improvements even after the PLI period ends by Mar’26. We marginally revise our estimates to bake in improved margin performance in the home appliances segment,” it added.
The mobiles business remained a key growth driver for Dixon in Q2, with revenue from the mobiles and EMS vertical growing 41 percent YoY, while consumer electronics (-32 percent YoY) and home appliances (-3 percent YoY) remained weak, said JM Financial. “Dixon’s backward integration initiatives, including display assembly (expected Mar/Apr’26) and camera module assembly (consolidated w.e.f. Sep’25) appear to be largely on track. Dixon also indicated that it is in discussions with a large global ODM (FY27E potential of ~6mn smartphones), wherein mass manufacturing is expected by 4QFY26/1QFY27. That said, FY26/27E volume guidance remains unchanged at 40-42mn and 60-65mn smartphones respectively. While we cut our FY26E EPS estimates by 4.8% to accommodate for higher finance costs and minority interest, our FY27/28E estimates remain largely unchanged,” it added.
The domestic brokerage kept an ‘Add’ rating on the stock, with a target price of Rs 18,000 per share. This implies an upside potential of nearly 12 percent from the stock’s previous closing price.
