Aerospace & Defence - Equipments, equal-weighted, based at 200 NIFTY 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 24 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Best Aerospace & Defence - Equipments Stocks in India (Aug 2026), Ranked by Data

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82.3% evidence confidence.
Astra Microwave Products Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action

Sigma Advanced System Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Aerospace & Defence - Equipments at +458.9%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +135.6%. 17 of 23 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-08-14.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

06 · the story behind the numbers

Aerospace & Defence - Equipments — the story behind the numbers

This is the written read behind the Aerospace & Defence - Equipments figures above — what is actually happening in the sector, in words, with the evidence each claim rests on. It is dated 29 Jul 2026. 4 themes are live here. It also states what would change this read.

The Aerospace & Defence - Equipments sector displays significant divergence in Q4 FY26 performance among the two constituents analyzed. NIBE Ltd reported a substantial surge in profitability, with Profit After Tax increasing 282.52% YoY to ₹29.23 crore. In contrast, Sika Interplant Systems Ltd experienced a marginal decline in net profit of 1.01% YoY to ₹7.83 crore.

How old this read is: This read comes from our Aerospace & Defence - Equipments sector brief dated 29 Jul 2026, so the words here and the numbers above them cover the same few weeks.

What would change this read

A severe valuation reset that brings the multiple back in line with mid-cycle margins, or a continued expansion of margins driven by structural cost shifts that invalidates the historical peak-margin read.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 24 Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies compared here, at ₹33,785 crore. Bharat Electronics Ltd is next at ₹28,717 crore. Ideaforge Technology Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd is the scale leader at ₹33,785 crore, 17.6% ahead of Bharat Electronics Ltd. Ideaforge Technology Ltd's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 221.1% from a ₹282 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderHindustan Aeronautics Ltd · ₹33,785 crore
Gap17.6% versus #2 · Bharat Electronics Ltd
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage24/24 companies · 418 observations

Investor read: Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd is the scale benchmark; Ideaforge Technology Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd's growth falls below Ideaforge Technology Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Investor read: Azad Engineering Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

LeaderHindustan Aeronautics Ltd · ₹9,322 crore
Gap51.6% versus #2 · Bharat Electronics Ltd
Persistence6/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage24/24 companies · 419 observations

Investor read: Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Return On Capital Employed

Sigma Advanced System Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 24 Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies compared here, at 60.8%. Bharat Electronics Ltd is next at 36.4%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +41.2 percentage points. 24 of 24 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Sigma Advanced System Ltd leads ROCE at 60.8%, 24.4 percentage points above Bharat Electronics Ltd. Sigma Advanced System Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +41.2 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderSigma Advanced System Ltd · 60.8%
Gap67% versus #2 · Bharat Electronics Ltd

Investor read: Sigma Advanced System Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Withheld from this chart: Zen Technologies Ltd (ZENTEC) — its two data sources disagree by up to 32% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd (PARAS) — its two data sources disagree by up to 11% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; NIBE Ltd (NIBE) — its two data sources disagree by up to 9.5% on reported income across 13 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Sika Interplant Systems Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 24 Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies compared here, at 1.01×. BEML Ltd is next at 1.18×. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd has the lowest P/E at 36.1×, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 24 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Sika Interplant Systems Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.01×, 14.4% below BEML Ltd. Only 13 of 24 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Aerospace & Defence - Equipments comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 24 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 3 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. 3 have second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
  • 3 companies draw at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; they are marked unverified wherever those figures appear.
  • 3 companies are missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 24 Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-14.

How a second data feed is admitted, and what happens when it disagrees

A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from.

Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company comparison FAQs

These 24 answers restate the Aerospace & Defence - Equipments comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 24 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-14. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Aerospace & Defence - Equipments sector outperforming NIFTY 500?

Aerospace & Defence - Equipments has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 57.2% over 52 weeks and 15.4% over 13 weeks. 17 of 23 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 9 of 23 beat the sector itself.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company is largest by revenue?

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd leads with revenue of ₹33,785 crore, based on 24 of 24 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company is growing fastest?

Ideaforge Technology Ltd has the fastest current revenue growth at 100%, across 24 of 24 comparable companies.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd ranks first at 71.5/100 with 82.3% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Sika Interplant Systems Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.01, among 13 of 24 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Aerospace & Defence - Equipments comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Is there a Nifty Aerospace & Defence - Equipments index?

NSE India maintains Nifty indices for several broad sector categories — Nifty Bank, Nifty IT, Nifty Pharma and others — but not for every sub-sector grouping on this site. Whether or not an official Nifty index covers Aerospace & Defence - Equipments, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 24 listed Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies — one company, one vote, regardless of market value — so no single large company dominates the reading. Figures are as of Jun 2026.

Which are the best Aerospace & Defence - Equipments stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd places first among 24 listed Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies, followed by Sigma Advanced System Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.

How many Aerospace & Defence - Equipments stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 24 listed Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company is the biggest?

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹33,785 crore, ahead of Bharat Electronics Ltd at ₹28,717 crore. That covers 24 of 24 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company has the best profit margins?

Azad Engineering Ltd has the highest operating margin at 37%, from 24 of 24 comparable companies. Ideaforge Technology Ltd shows the biggest improvement (+152.7 percentage points — see the chart above for the starting level). A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company makes the most profit?

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd earns the most, at ₹9,322 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 24 of 24 comparable companies. Jaykay Enterprises Ltd has the fastest profit growth at the ≥100% scoring cap, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company earns the highest return on capital?

Sigma Advanced System Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 60.8%, across 24 of 24 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Sika Interplant Systems Ltd screens cheapest at 1.01×. Only 13 of 24 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Is the Aerospace & Defence - Equipments sector beating the market?

Aerospace & Defence - Equipments has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 57.2% over the last 52 weeks and 15.4% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 17 of 23 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments stock has the strongest price momentum?

Sigma Advanced System Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Aerospace & Defence - Equipments company scores highest for research priority?

Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd scores 71.5 out of 100 with 82.3% evidence confidence, from 25.7 points on growth and earnings, 17.1 on capital efficiency, 9.5 on valuation and 19.2 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 24 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Aerospace & Defence - Equipments sector?

The 24 Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies on this page carry ₹9,00,450 crore of combined market value. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd is the largest at ₹3,36,387 crore, about 37% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-18.

What is the Aerospace & Defence - Equipments sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 24 Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies on this page is 92.3×, measured on the 21 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-18.

How is the Aerospace & Defence - Equipments sector performing?

17 of the 23 covered Aerospace & Defence - Equipments companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 57.2% ahead of NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-18.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
