<\/div>\n

The Israel-Iran conflict kept tensions high in the Middle East, and its impact on the stock market is becoming more visible now as Indian defence stocks rallied on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The fresh rally in defence stocks came as the tensions between the two countries entered the fifth day on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Earlier, US President Donald Trump<\/a> indicated that America could also get involved in the Israel-Iran war, escalating the uncertainties around the conflict. <\/p>\n

Geopolitical tensions push defence stocks higher<\/h2>\n

The Nifty India Defence Index surged 1.6% on Tuesday, with Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders leading the way with a 5% jump. <\/p>\n

Indian government-owned Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd (GRSE) gained 4% on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The stock has remained at all-time high levels, backed by a robust order book and improved expectations amid geopolitical tensions. <\/p>\n

Other notable stock movements were witnessed around Data Patterns (India), which rose 3%. <\/p>\n

BEML and Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) jumped around 1% to 2% on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Volatility remains the battlefield<\/h2>\n

The rally in Indian defence stocks mirrors the trajectory of geopolitical tensions, which started with the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. <\/p>\n

The recent escalation of conflict between India and Pakistan, following \u2018Operation Sindoor\u2019, took defence stocks to their all-time highs as investors expected a rise in order volumes. <\/p>\n

But, analysts have cautioned about the volatility around defence stocks as the valuations in many defence stocks<\/a> are now stretched. <\/p>\n

While speaking with Invezz, Investment research firm GoalFi’s founder, Robin Arya, spoke about the sector trading at lofty valuations, with many stocks priced at 40\u201360 times forward earnings.<\/p>\n

He mentioned the robust domestic procurement pipeline but emphasised that future gains will depend on execution strength and order conversion.<\/p>\n

“The Israel-Iran conflict<\/a> has acted as a fresh catalyst for Indian defence stocks, with the Nifty Defence Index surging 18% in May alone and select names gaining over 30\u201340%. While valuations are steep, many trading at 40\u201360x forward earnings however they’re backed by a \u20b916 lakh crore domestic procurement pipeline and a \u20b93 lakh crore export target by 2029. The sector is in a structural uptrend, but future gains will depend on execution strength and order conversion,”  Robin Arya said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sensex, Nifty trade in red amid geopolitical risks <\/strong><\/h2>\n

As the Israel-Iran conflict entered its 5th day, the Indian stock markets continued to remain under pressure.<\/p>\n

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened in the red on Tuesday and deepened their morning slump by midday, with the Sensex dropping 252.73 points (0.31%) to 81,543.42 and the Nifty sliding 91 points (0.36%) to 24,855.50.<\/p>\n

Tata Motors, IndusInd Bank, Ultratech Cement, and Sun Pharma were among the top losers on the Sensex, while Kotak Bank, Axis Bank, NTPC, and Adani Ports led the gainers. <\/p>\n

The losses reflected persistent selling pressure<\/a> as investors remained cautious amid ongoing tensions and possible involvement of the United States in the conflict.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
