Bharat Dynamics shares drop 6% after Q3 results

Bharat Dynamics shares declined 6% on February 2, 2023, amid broader weakness in defence stocks. The Union Budget's 18% increase in defence capital expenditure to ₹7.6 lakh crore was seen as lacking transformative measures, impacting near-term sentiment.

Shares of Bharat Dynamics fell 6% on 2 Feb 2023, continuing a downward trend in defence stocks, with 16 of 18 Nifty Defence index constituents in the red. The decline follows the Union Budget's 18% increase in defence capital expenditure to ₹7.6 lakh crore, which analysts deemed insufficient for immediate sentiment improvement. Despite this, brokerages maintain a positive medium-term outlook due to anticipated order inflows.
