Leading financial analyst firm MOFSL has maintained or initiated 'Buy' ratings for several prominent Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies, projecting significant growth and margin expansion for the sector. The firm highlights increasing technical complexity and diversified order inflows as key drivers for these companies.
Key 'Buy' Recommendations and Target Prices
MOFSL's latest analysis includes specific target prices for a range of EMS providers:
- Kaynes Technology India Ltd: 'Buy' rating with a target price of Rs 5,000.
- Avalon Technologies Ltd: 'Buy' rating with a target price of Rs 2,740.

The brokerage firm, however, holds a 'Neutral' stance on Data Patterns India, setting its target price at Rs 4,000.
Sectoral Growth Drivers and Outlook
MOFSL emphasized that complexity, rather than mere scale, is becoming the primary differentiator within the EMS sector. Original Equipment Makers (OEMs) are increasingly seeking specialized manufacturing partners capable of handling technically demanding products. This trend is expected to expand the addressable market for Indian EMS players, foster greater customer loyalty, and provide a longer growth trajectory as their capabilities evolve from Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) to comprehensive box-build solutions.
The strong and diversified order books across critical sectors position EMS companies for stable growth in fiscal year 2027 (FY27), ensuring robust revenue visibility.
Operational Improvements and Margin Expansion
The report anticipates a moderation in the current working-capital intensity. This improvement is expected as component availability stabilizes, strategic inventories are converted into revenue, and customer advances and collections normalize. The recent accumulation of working capital is largely attributed to growth initiatives and supply-chain risk mitigation.
Furthermore, increasing localization of critical components is set to enhance supply assurance and reduce execution risks for Indian EMS providers. Looking ahead, MOFSL predicts margin expansion, driven by improved operating leverage, a more favorable product mix skewed towards automotive, industrial, and defense segments, and the normalization of execution and supply-chain disruptions.
Projected Financial Performance
MOFSL projects that the aggregate revenue of its EMS universe will achieve a 32 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from FY26 to FY28. This growth will be bolstered by strong order flows, efficient execution, healthy market demand, capacity expansions, and the introduction of new products across key industry verticals. Consequently, the combined EBITDA margin is expected to expand over the same period, fueled by favorable operating leverage and product mix, with EBITDA projected to register a 37 percent CAGR from FY26 to FY28.
