Dixon Technologies gains after brokerage upgrades stock, raises target price

Dixon Technologies rose 1.35% to Rs 12,249 after a domestic brokerage upgraded the stock to 'buy' from 'add' and raised its target price to Rs 14,200 from Rs 11,200.

The brokerage said it no longer expects to cut its earnings estimates for Dixon, as the company's joint venture with Vivo is nearing regulatory approvals and is expected to start contributing to earnings in the coming quarters of FY27.

According to the brokerage, Vivo sells around 35-37 million smartphones annually in India. It expects nearly two-thirds of these phones to be manufactured through the Dixon-Vivo joint venture, creating a significant growth opportunity for the company.

During the company's Q4 earnings call, managing director and CEO Atul Lall said Dixon was deeply engaged with the government and remained very, very close to securing approvals for the proposed Vivo joint venture. He added that Vivo sold around 35 million smartphones in India last year and the partnership could add 20-22 million units annually over time.

The brokerage also said higher average selling prices (ASPs) of smartphones are expected to support revenue growth even if shipment volumes remain soft.

It added that Dixon's IT hardware, telecom equipment, servers and optical transceiver businesses are scaling up steadily. The company's backward integration into display and camera modules is also progressing as planned.

The brokerage expects Dixon to remain on track to achieve its FY27 smartphone production guidance of around 33 million units, excluding Vivo volumes, while continued exports and benefits under the government's production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme are expected to support long-term growth.

Dixon Technologies (India) is a design-led solutions provider engaged in manufacturing products across consumer durables, lighting, and mobile phone segments in India.
