BEL or HAL: JPMorgan, a well known financial company, has shared its thoughts on India’s defense sector. This comes at a time when shares of major defense companies like Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) and Bharat Electronics (BEL) have dropped by up to 50% from their highest levels. Despite this fall, JPMorgan believes these stocks are now more attractive because their prices are lower, making them a good buy for investors.
The company said that the recent drop in the value of defense stocks does not change the long-term potential of these companies. JPMorgan explained that worries about budget cuts or geopolitical issues are overblown. They emphasized that India’s spending on defense and its focus on making more equipment locally are long-term trends that will continue to grow.
JPMorgan also highlighted that India’s growing defense partnership with the United States will benefit the country’s domestic defense industry. This collaboration is expected to bring more opportunities for Indian companies. JPMorgan believes that even though defense stocks like HAL and BEL have seen a big drop recently, they still have strong potential for growth.

When it comes to specific companies, JPMorgan has kept a positive outlook on both HAL and BEL. They have given an “overweight” rating to both stocks, which means they think these stocks will perform well in the future. Still they prefer BEL over HAL, suggesting that BEL might be a better choice for investors right now.
