Valuation fears hit defence stocks: Where are they headed? Here’s what analysts say

Indian defence stocks experienced a downturn on Thursday as investors engaged in profit booking after a robust three-month rally. The Nifty India Defence Index declined by 2%, with Bharat Dynamics leading the losses after a 'neutral' rating from Motilal Oswal. Analysts attribute the correction to stretched valuations and easing geopolitical tensions, despite long-term growth optimism and buy-on-dips recommendations.
