Dixon Technologies just posted a dream Q4 — profit up 378 per cent, revenue more than doubling. And yet, the stock got hammered. Dixon share price fell over 7 per cent today (May 21), wiping out the post-result buzz in a flash.
Why the disconnect? It's a classic case of the numbers dazzling, but the valuations dulling the shine. Let's break it down.
So, what just happened?
Here's what the Q4 FY25 quarter looked like:
| Metric | Q4 FY25 | YoY change |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Rs 10,293 crore | +121 per cent |
| Net profit | Rs 401 crore | +378 per cent |
| Operating profit | Rs 443 crore | +143 per cent |
| Operating margin | 4.3 per cent | up from 3.9 per cent |
| Final dividend | Rs 8/share | -- |
Bonus gain: The profit surge had a one-off tailwind — a Rs 250 crore exceptional gain. Still, core operations also grew sharply.
Then why did Dixon Technologies' share price fall?
Simple answer: it had run too far, too fast.
The stock is already up 85 per cent in the past year. Expectations were sky-high. When results hit, many investors saw it as a perfect moment to lock in gains. Think of it as a "sell the news" moment.
Add to that Dixon's steep valuation — its P/E is north of 90, and price-to-book is above 41. Even with solid growth, that's a lot of optimism baked in.
What Dixon does
If you own a TV, smartphone, or washing machine made in India, chances are Dixon had something to do with it. The company is one of India's top electronics manufacturing services (EMS) players, assembling gadgets for brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, and boAt. It's a behind-the-scenes powerhouse in the 'Make in India' push, running 17 factories across the country.
Quick snapshot: how it stacks up
| Valuation metric | Value |
|---|---|
| P/E ratio | 91.4 |
| P/B ratio | 41 |
| ROE | 25.5 per cent |
| Market cap | Rs 1,00,140 crore |
| 52-week High/Low | Rs 19,150 / Rs 8,440 |

That 2/10 on valuation? That's the red flag investors are reacting to.
Final word
Dixon is in the right place at the right time — EMS is booming, and it's riding the wave. The company is scaling fast, winning deals, and paying dividends. But the stock? It's priced like perfection.
For now, the Street's message is clear: great results, but not at any price.
