The euphoria over the shares of the defence equipment maker is still ongoing as investors trust the growth prospects of the dominant player Paras Defence & Space Technologies. Investor’s high hopes from the company are reflected in the constant spike in share price. The stock has gained 21% in the last five consecutive sessions after a stellar listing.
Paras made the best debut on the exchanges with 171% gains on listing. Those who got shares in the IPO nearly tripled their money within a few minutes of the listing to ₹40,375 from IPO bidding price of ₹14,875.
Investors like Paras Defence more than any other sector companies because it has a diverse product portfolio. It makes stuff for defence and space optics — such as space cameras, infrared devices, diffraction gratings which help in improving image resolutions — defence electronics, electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) protection solution and heavy engineering. Besides, Paras even supplies inputs even to some of its listed peers.
Meanwhile, other defence makers failed to perform even in the last one month.
