Brokerage View:
Systematix has maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on Jash Engineering with a target price of Rs. 565, indicating an upside potential of around 27 percent from the price of Rs. 444. The brokerage remains positive on the company’s outlook, supported by its dominant domestic market position, strong order book of over Rs. 9 billion, and expanding presence across the US, UK and Saudi Arabia.
It expects the company to deliver 16.5 percent revenue CAGR, 31 percent EBITDA CAGR and 34 percent PAT CAGR over FY26–FY28, aided by margin expansion, overseas growth initiatives and increasing opportunities in the water infrastructure segment.
Domestic Business Remains Strong
Jash Engineering reported 18 percent YoY growth in domestic revenue in FY26 and management expects another 18–20 percent growth in FY27. The company continues to hold over 70 percent market share in its core product categories and has witnessed strong demand from major Indian cities. In Mumbai alone, it supplied products for more than 28 out of 30 projects in recent quarters. Management believes water infrastructure will emerge as the next major growth driver as road infrastructure spending moderates after FY28.
The company also sees long-term opportunities in wastewater-to-potable-water projects and has already executed pilot projects in Singapore. Capacity expansion remains on track, with two new plants commissioned and the expansion of Unit 1 expected to be completed by June 2026, taking revenue potential to nearly Rs. 12 billion. The Singapore order book currently stands at around Rs. 1 billion.
US Business Scaling Up
The company’s US subsidiary, Rodney Hunt, generated revenue of around USD 30 million in FY26 and is targeting USD 37 million in FY27, with a long-term goal of USD 75 million over the next five years. Jash continues to benefit from a significant cost advantage, with comparable production costing about USD 10 million in India versus USD 22–23 million in the US. Rodney Hunt currently employs around 82 people, while order visibility stands at nearly USD 40 million. To address skilled labour shortages and support future growth, the company is establishing a new facility in Houston with a capex of approximately USD 9 million, expected to be commissioned by December 2027.
UK Operations Gaining Momentum
Following the acquisition of Penstock, Jash has expanded its reach across the UK, including Scotland and the Midlands. The UK business generated revenue of around £3 million in FY26 and is expected to reach £5.5–6 million in FY27. Management is targeting £12–13 million revenue over the next 4–5 years. The business operated at break-even during FY26 but is expected to turn meaningfully profitable in FY27. Order visibility remains healthy with expectations of £4.5 million by H1FY27 and approximately £6 million by year-end. Employee strength is also expected to increase from 22 to around 30 people by the end of the year.
Saudi Arabia Opens a New Growth Avenue
The company is progressing with its Saudi Arabia expansion plans and expects land allocation shortly. Plant commissioning is targeted for December 2027 with an investment of around USD 4 million. The facility size has been revised from the originally planned 80,000–90,000 sq. ft. to a phased 35,000–40,000 sq. ft. development due to geopolitical uncertainties in West Asia. Importantly, Jash has already secured Saudi Aramco approval, a critical requirement for participation in the market. Local regulations require 60–70 percent local content execution within five years, positioning the company well for future opportunities.
Strong Order Book and Revenue Visibility
Jash’s consolidated order book exceeds Rs. 9 billion, providing strong visibility for future growth. Around 70 percent of the order book comes from international markets, reflecting the company’s increasing global presence. Geographically, revenue contribution in FY26 was diversified across India (45 percent ), USA (36 percent ), Far East & South-East Asia (11 percent ), Europe & Africa (7 percent ), and the Middle East (2 percent ). Water control gates remain the largest revenue contributor, accounting for 62 percent of FY26 revenue.
Financial Outlook and Brokerage View
Management has maintained its FY27 guidance of approximately Rs. 8.75 billion revenue with an EBITDA margin of 12–13 percent . Over the medium term, the company aims to expand revenue potential to around Rs. 15 billion, supported by domestic growth and new overseas facilities. Systematix expects 16.5 percent revenue CAGR, 31 percent EBITDA CAGR, and 34 percent PAT CAGR over FY26–FY28. Return ratios are also projected to improve, with RoE reaching 18.9 percent and RoCE 18.3 percent by FY28. Based on these growth prospects, the brokerage has maintained a Buy rating with a target price of Rs. 565, implying about 31 percent upside potential from the current market price.
Conclusion:
Jash Engineering appears well positioned to benefit from both its strong domestic presence and growing international operations. The company is expanding capacity, strengthening its footprint in key overseas markets, and capitalising on opportunities in the water infrastructure sector. With healthy order visibility, improving profitability expectations, and multiple growth drivers across geographies, management remains confident about sustaining its long-term growth trajectory.
