thebalanced.newsHAL Reports 5.5% Rise in Q4 Net Profit Amid Delivery Delays and Margin Pressure
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) reported a 5.5-6% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 4,196 crore for Q4 FY26, with revenue increasing 1.7-2% to approximately Rs 13,942 crore. Sequentially, profit more than doubled from Q3 FY26, supported by higher other income and stronger execution. Despite this, some brokerages forecast a year-on-year revenue decline due to delays in HTT-40 and LCA Mk1A deliveries and margin pressure from supply chain disruptions. HAL's order book stood at Rs 2.54 trillion, indicating future revenue visibility. Shares gained up to 4% following the results announcement.
