Likewise, BOB Capital Markets also continued its bullish outlook on the stock following the company's December quarter numbers. The brokerage firm stated that the company has exceeded its Q3 FY23 estimates due to strong domestic demand that has more than offset the weakness in exports.

As of December 2022, Syrma had outstanding orders worth 21 billion, compared to 17 billion in Q2 FY23.

The brokerage believes Syrma has multiple growth levers in the form of a strong order book, timely capacity addition, and traction in the auto, industrial, and consumer verticals.

BOB Capital has revised its earnings per share (EPS) estimates for the fiscal years 2022–23 and 2023–24, increasing the estimate for FY23 by 7% and trimming the estimate for FY24 by 3%. The revision takes into account the Q3 FY23 financial results as well as a change in the product mix.

In light of the revised estimates, the brokerage has increased its target price for the company's shares to 400 apiece from 390 earlier.

In Q3 FY23, the company reported a robust revenue of 512.6 crore, up 70% YoY supported by healthy topline growth in the consumer and automotive segments. The consolidated net profit during the quarter came in at 34 crore, an increase of 70% YoY.
