1. At a Glance – The Multi-Engine Machine
₹907 crore market cap. ₹80 stock price. P/E of 17.6. ROCE 13.8%. Debt-to-equity just 0.06. And a Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹196.43 crore with PAT of ₹24.81 crore.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Aeroflex Enterprises Ltd — formerly SAT Industries — now reborn like a Bollywood character after interval, but this time with liquid cooling contracts, startup bets, compressor acquisitions and NBFC ambitions.
Q3 FY26 numbers show 22.06% YoY growth in total income and 32.43% YoY growth in EBITDA. Operating margins are steady at 21.78%. The company claims presence in 100+ countries, 1700+ workforce, and investments across 35+ sectors with stakes in 160+ startups.
But here’s the masala — stock is down 8.75% in 3 months and 20.5% in 1 year.
So the market is confused.
Are we looking at a smart capital allocator building multiple engines of growth?
Or a diversified buffet where you don’t know which dish will give you returns?
Let’s investigate.
