FY26 revenue growth was 42.3% at Craftsman, 9.0% at Happy Forgings and 26.1% at Endurance. P\/E stands at 58.25 for Craftsman (industry 36.86), 57.46 for Happy Forgings (industry 50.82) and 36.49 for Endurance (industry 36.86). Demand cycles, input costs and valuation decide how much of that growth the market keeps paying for, so each company&#8217;s risks need equal attention.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Precision auto component stocks give investors exposure to makers of forged, cast and machined parts that go into engines, suspension and braking systems. Results depend on vehicle production, content per vehicle and operating margin, which is why customer mix matters as much as headline growth.<\/p>\n<p>This list covers three powertrain component stocks: Craftsman Automation for powertrain parts, aluminium castings and industrial machinery components, Happy Forgings for forged and machined crankshafts and components for commercial vehicles and industry and Endurance Technologies for suspension, braking and casting parts for two-wheelers and cars. Every figure comes from the latest reported financials and the 6 October 2026 market close. Companies without complete current figures were left out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
