Diversification Into Aerospace And Semiconductors Will Expand Horizons

Key Takeaways

• Expansion into high-value non-automotive segments and tech-agnostic businesses is improving margins and revenue stability while reducing cyclical risks.
  
• Investments in automation, aluminum components, and international orders are yielding scale benefits, efficiency gains, and strong forward growth visibility.
  
• Sansera faces export uncertainty from trade barriers, market volatility in key segments, ICE dependency, margin risks from customer sourcing changes, and execution challenges in diversification.

Catalysts

Engages in the manufacture and sale of precision engineered components for automotive and non-automotive sectors in India, Europe, the United States, and internationally.

• The company's aggressive diversification into high-value, precision components for non-automotive sectors (especially ADS-aerospace, defense, and semiconductor) and tech-agnostic segments is accelerating revenue growth and materially improving the mix toward higher-margin businesses, thus supporting both future top-line expansion and higher EBITDA/net margins.
  
• Ongoing investments in automation, capacity expansion, complex aluminum forging, and larger, intricate component capabilities-especially in the Swedish subsidiary-are expected to drive scale benefits and efficiency gains, directly translating into sustained improvements in consolidated gross and EBITDA margins.
  
• Global OEMs' increased outsourcing of high-precision and critical components, a trend reinforced as Sansera gains wallet share and secures larger, higher-value orders in both auto and non-auto spaces, will further diversify revenues and reduce cyclicality, enhancing revenue and earnings stability.
  
• Rapid growth in electrification (xEV) and stricter emission norms are expanding the market for lightweight, engineered components, favoring Sansera's transition into aluminum and non-ICE platforms and supporting long-term revenue and earnings potential as the company successfully adds new EV, semicon, and tech-agnostic customers.
  
• Company's execution of its forward order book-now over 60% international and rich in new customer adds (including in the U.S., Europe, and Asia)-as well as its proven success in passing through cost/tariff headwinds, points to strong forward visibility and resilience, providing a catalyst for both revenue growth and margin protection in the medium to long term.

Sansera Engineering Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Sansera Engineering's revenue will grow by 14.8% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 7.4% today to 10.3% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach ₹4.8 billion (and earnings per share of ₹81.04) by about August 2028, up from ₹2.3 billion today. However, there is some disagreement amongst the analysts with the more bearish ones expecting earnings as low as ₹4.2 billion.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 36.1x on those 2028 earnings, up from 35.1x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the IN Auto Components industry at 29.2x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 7.0% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 14.37%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Sansera Engineering Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Persistent global geopolitical tensions and recent increases in US tariffs on Indian exports have created significant uncertainty for Sansera's international business; any prolonged or escalating trade barriers could limit export growth, disrupt customer relationships, and negatively impact long-term revenue.
  
• The company's domestic and export growth remains highly exposed to end-market volatility, particularly in 2-wheeler scooters and tractors, which have seen recent declines-suggesting sustained weakness in core segments could dampen overall revenue growth and earnings momentum.
  
• Heavy dependence on key customer commitments for tariff pass-through raises risk if customers alter sourcing or regionalization strategies (e.g., due to USMCA value-add requirements), potentially squeezing net margins and increasing earnings volatility if not all cost increases can be offset.
  
• Despite efforts to diversify, the portfolio still carries meaningful exposure to internal combustion engine (ICE) components; an accelerated global shift to electric vehicles (which require fewer traditional parts) could eventually erode Sansera's legacy business, causing medium-term revenue stagnation or decline.
  
• Expansion strategies (such as setting up capacity in the US or ramping up complex non-auto and ADS segments) are subject to significant execution risk, long lead times, and possible delays; any inability to quickly scale new businesses or operationalize international plants may hinder earnings growth and impact operating margins.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of ₹1520.125 for Sansera Engineering based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
  
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be ₹46.5 billion, earnings will come to ₹4.8 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 36.1x, assuming you use a discount rate of 14.4%.
  
• Given the current share price of ₹1286.1, the analyst price target of ₹1520.12 is 15.4% higher.
  
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
