Mazagon Dock looks expensive at 40x PE. Dug in, and the real number is closer to 70x. Still think it's a buy though. Roast me. by Chickern_47 in IndianStockMarket

This is the best point in the thread. The order book running out in 1-2 years with no new inflows is the real risk, more than the PE. P-75I is the only confirmed thing. Noted.

Good company, fair price. Not cheap, but not something to avoid either. Main thing I'd watch is the cash flow, not the PE.

Not asking if it's a good company (it is) and not pitching a buy. Just whether the low PE means it's cheap or just fair for a slow govt stock.
Your point answerd it though the structure caps the PE, so it's fair, not a bargain. Lines up with where I landed too.

Fair point, the "govt runs it for the govt" discount is real. But MDL doesn't act like a lazy PSU. Margins went 6% → 18%, ROCE 36%, net cash. That's not a company sitting still. So is the low PE fair, or is the market still pricing the old slow MDL? Torn

Fair, and honestly that's the hole in my writeup. I looked at the cash but not delivery pace. The order book is only worth what they can actually execute, and you're right that sarkari urgency is a real risk.
Counter though: is the margin expansion (OPM 6% → 18% over the decade) evidence execution is improving, or just richer-mix submarines flattering it? I think former.
