Prabhudas Lilladher has maintained a 'HOLD' rating on Cyient DLM with an upgraded target price of ₹875 in its research report dated September 17, 2026. According to the brokerage's report, the target price has been increased from the earlier ₹635, based on 45x September 2028 earnings.

The company is focusing on expanding its annuity business from Aerospace and Industrial segments, with the B2S business revenue share targeted to reach double digits by FY28 from 6-7% in FY26. According to the brokerage's analysis, increased focus on semiconductor capital equipment, along with emerging opportunities across semiconductors, AI, robotics and data centers, could further expand the addressable market. The company is also targeting increased wallet share, particularly in B2S, from existing Defence and Aerospace clients. These strategic initiatives appear to be driving investor confidence and the stock's premium valuation.
Prabhudas Lilladher estimates FY26-29E revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 30.9%/35.9%/35.0% respectively, with EBITDA margin expansion of 120 basis points.

Key valuation metrics show the stock trading at a P/E ratio of 90.5 and PB ratio of 7.2 as of September 18, 2026.
