Bullish Bet On Bharat Forge: SEBI RA Deepak Pal Sees Rally Till ₹1350

The analyst noted that the stock maintains bullish momentum above its 14-day EMA. A new MoU in the defense space adds to its growth story, making it an attractive candidate.

Traders can consider buying Bharat Forge near the ₹1290–₹1291 zone or on dips, with a stop-loss at ₹1175, according to SEBI-registered analyst Deepak Pal.

At the time of writing, Bharat Forge shares were trading at ₹1,301.20, up 0.1%.

He noted that the stock has the potential to move towards ₹1350 in the near term, supported by bullish momentum and favorable sectoral sentiment.

The stock is taking support around its 14-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at ₹1290, and the 200-day EMA is likely to act as strong support in the event of volatility-led downside pressure.

According to Pal, Bharat Forge has been trading in a strong positive trend. Despite global geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, Bharat Forge has shown resilience, supported by India's strategic focus on strengthening its defense sector — where the company plays a key role with a strong presence. 

On Tuesday, Bharat Forge Ltd signed an MoU with France's Turgis Gaillard to jointly propose the Aarok Male-class UAV for India's defense needs.

The UAV, designed for long-range surveillance and strike missions, will be locally produced by Bharat Forge.

On fundamentals, Bharat Forge’s FY25 consolidated revenue stood at ₹15,123 crore and net profit at ₹1,322 crore. 

Core profit was ₹2,524 crore, with margins improving to 28.5%. 

The defense order book stood at ₹9,420 crore at the end of FY25, with 70% of orders coming from defense. 

Other highlights include a 30% revenue from exports, a 23% rise in ferrous casting volumes, and standalone cash of ₹2,623 crore. 

Pal noted that the standalone debt/equity ratio is 0.59x and RoCE is 18%.
