thebalanced.newsHFCL Shares Rise Over 140% on Strong Earnings and Order Wins, Analysts Advise Caution
HFCL shares have surged over 140% in less than four months, reaching a record high of around Rs 163, driven by strong quarterly earnings, new export orders, and expanded manufacturing capacity. The company reported a net profit of Rs 178.5 crore in Q4 FY26, reversing previous losses, and secured a long-term global optical fibre cable supply contract worth about Rs 10,159 crore. Analysts note the stock's momentum is strong but caution that the recent rapid gains may lead to a pullback, which will indicate whether the rally is supported by institutional buying or short-term trading.
