Sharekhan Projects Continued Growth for DEE Development Engineers
Despite the substantial rally, brokerage firm Mirae Asset Sharekhan remains highly optimistic about Dee Development Engineers. The firm has reiterated its positive stance on the stock, revising its price target upwards to Rs 650. This bullish outlook is underpinned by the company's strong execution capabilities, a robust order book, and clear demand visibility across various energy infrastructure segments.
Sharekhan's analysis indicates that Dee Development Engineers experienced a 26% rise in revenue during the reported period, primarily fueled by the execution of oil and gas orders. While margins saw a dip of 448 basis points to 17.6% due to new labor code charges and a higher comparative base, the underlying business strength is evident.
Strong Order Book and Strategic Market Positioning
The company's order book stands impressively at Rs 1,940 crore, with significant exposure across both oil and gas (Rs 900 crore) and power (Rs 1,200 crore) sectors. Furthermore, FY26 order inflows reached Rs 1,870 crore, highlighting consistent demand. Management has reaffirmed its guidance for the fiscal year, targeting revenues of Rs 1,500 crore, margins exceeding 19%, and order inflows of Rs 2,000 crore.
Dee Development Engineers is increasingly recognized as a specialized player in the energy infrastructure space. The company benefits from strong market tailwinds in Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), thermal, and oil and gas solutions. HRSG piping, in particular, represents a niche global segment with limited qualified vendors, granting the company significant pricing power and long-term visibility.
Global and Domestic Demand Drivers
Demand visibility is bolstered by major global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) such as GE Vernova, Nooter/Eriksen, and Siemens. This demand is intrinsically linked to the rising need for gas turbines and broader power infrastructure, driven by the proliferation of AI data centers and increasing global electricity shortages.
Domestically, growth is expected from India's expanding thermal power sector, emerging nuclear opportunities, ongoing refinery investments, and new fertilizer projects. For FY26, the brokerage projects a 38% increase in revenue, a 53% rise in EBITDA, and a 77% surge in net profit.
The operational leverage is set to improve with the new 30,000 MTPA Anjar facility, India's first seamless pipe plant, and an easing capital expenditure cycle. Mirae Asset Sharekhan anticipates a revenue and net profit Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26% and 55% respectively over FY2026-FY2028. Currently, the stock trades at 27x and 19x FY2027E and FY2028E EPS at its present market price.
Key Risks to Consider
Investors should be aware of potential risks, including a downturn in the oil and gas or power sectors, exposure to international market fluctuations, increased competition, and volatility in raw material prices.
