Rafale vs Jet-10: Which stock leads globally?

A spike in investor optimism after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Adampur Air Base has helped Dassault Aviation’s share price rise by more than 3% over the last four days. The shares of AVIC Chengdu, on the other hand, have decreased by more than 10% over the same time frame.

The recent military confrontation between India and Pakistan, especially after the Indian military’s Operation Sindoor, has increased investor interest in shares of China’s AVIC Chengdu Aircraft and France’s Dassault Aviation.

On May 7, India began Operation Sindoor, in which the Indian Air Force (IAF) allegedly used Rafale fighters to use SCALP and HAMMER missiles to attack terrorist camps located deep into Pakistani territory. The Rafale fighter jets are produced by Dassault Aviation.

On the other hand, Ishaq Dar, the deputy prime minister of Pakistan, acknowledged that the Pakistan Air Force used J-10 fighter jets, which are produced by AVIC Chengdu Aircraft, in their response.

Stock Performance: AVIC vs. Dassault Aviation The Chengdu :
A spike in investor optimism after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit to the Adampur Air Base has helped Dassault Aviation share price rise by more than 3% over the last four days. Supported by an S-400 missile defense system, Modi praised Operation Sindoor’s successful completion as a powerful message to Pakistan.

However, following PM Modi’s comments, Chinese defense equities were impacted by geopolitical tensions and heightened uncertainty, which caused AVIC Chengdu shares to fall more than 10% during the same time period.

Due to strong investor confidence and rising Rafale jet exports, Dassault Aviation shares have produced an outstanding 57% return so far in 2025.

A significant defense agreement was recently reached by France and India to acquire 26 naval versions of the Rafale aircraft. According to Dr. Ravi Singh, SVP-Retail Research at Religare Broking Ltd., “AVIC Chengdu, a part of China’s AVIC conglomerate, has also given high returns after its listing with gains of more than 30% from listing rate, but in recent days the stock has been volatile due to geopolitical tensions and misinformation, which caused Chinese stocks to face sell-off.”

According to Singh,given the current situation,Dassault Aviation shares currently seem to be the more alluring choice for investors looking to gain exposure to the global defense industry.

Technical Perspective :
According to analysts, Dassault Aviation’s stock exhibits a distinct relative strength when compared to AVIC Chengdu from a technical perspective.

Dassault’s stock is already exhibiting significant momentum, whereas Chengdu’s share price is still consolidating. The stock would probably move toward the €375 mark if there is a breach over €316. Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities, stated that Dassault currently offers a more advantageous risk-reward profile for long trades due to the setup.

Jain went on to say that traders with a bullish outlook should think about giving Dassault Aviation shares priority until further distinct indications from AVIC Chengdu appear.
