Synopsis: The company has remained in focus after a sharp multi-session rally, driven by a large order win that has strengthened revenue visibility and improved sentiment around future execution and earnings growth.
The shares of this microcap stock majorly engaged in manufacturing iron and steel forging, hit 20 percent upper circuit today and rallied over 65 percent in 3 trading sessions after securing a large order.
With the market capitalization of Rs. 129 Crores, the shares of Hilton Metal Forging Ltd, hit upper circuit of Rs. 24.98 per share raising nearly 20 percent from its previous day closing of Rs. 20.82 and is trading at a P/E of 16.4 whereas industry P/E stands at 23.6
Reason behind the rally:
The sharp appreciation in the stock, with the stock going up to the upper circuit today and delivering a rally of 65 percent in the last three trading sessions, is largely being linked to the huge order worth Rs. 720 crore in the defence sector announced by the company on the 26th of March, 2026. The order entails the supply of 3,60,000 pieces of 155mm M107 Empty Bomb Artillery Shells.
The order is likely to add strength to the order book of the company. What is important to note is that the order is to be executed over a period of 24 months at the rate of 15,000 pieces every month. The investors are likely to be taking long-term earnings into consideration with the order and the increasing presence of the company in the defence segment, which has been one of the most important segments in the market. The huge order in the context of the overall business of the company has likely contributed to the sharp appreciation in the stock.
