Sustained order wins from private Indian telecom operators (Jio/Airtel) or international export contracts that demonstrate revenue durability beyond the BSNL government contract, accompanied by two consecutive quarters of positive PAT and free cash flow generation — reducing the negative EV/EBITDA distortion and enabling PE-based valuation.

Order book disclosure showing executable backlog exceeding 3x TTM revenue, combined with a clean quarter of PAT growth above 25% YoY with no promoter selling activity — breaking the adverse insider signal pattern

A sustained EBITDA margin breakthrough above 6-8% — driven by higher-value device mix (wearables, laptops under PLI), increased capacity utilization, and operating leverage on fixed manufacturing costs — forcing the market to re-classify Optiemus as an EMS compounder rather than a low-margin distributor, compressing the currently punitive EV/EBITDA multiple.
