The analysis
Data Patterns reported Rs 4002 and Rs 22,321 crore, with movement of 8%, 56% and 8.16% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +6.8% on the day at ₹4,025.00, and has returned -8.1% over three months. It sits 18% below its 52-week high. The defence & aerospace sector has moved -4.6% over the same period, so Data Patterns is running 3.5 points behind its peers.
For Data Patterns, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the defence & aerospace peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
- Defence orders carry long execution tails and policy tailwinds, which the market values for their visibility.
Market context

- Over three months: Data Patterns -8.1% against Defence & Aerospace -4.6% (3.5 points behind).
- Trading well above normal today: Data Patterns at 6.0 times its 20-day average volume.
