As per a CNBC-TV18 poll, the company’s revenue is likely to increase by 13% from last year to ₹4,898 crore, while its Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) is likely to increase by 12% from the same quarter last year to ₹1,114 crore.
HAL’s revenue growth is likely to be driven by execution of ₹1.89 lakh crore worth of order book and a higher contribution of repairs and overhaul (ROH).
EBITDA margin though is likely to decline by 11 basis points from the same quarter last year to 22.75%, while its profitability may take a 15% hit from the year-ago period to ₹1,218 core, aided by higher other income.
These are some of the key factors to watch ahead of HAL’s results:
Here’s what HAL had guided for financial year 2026 earlier:
- Order book target to be between ₹2.5 lakh crore to ₹2.6 lakh crore
- Revenue growth to be between 8% and 10% and this guidance will be revisited after the first half
- The management is also anticipating double-digit revenue from next year onwards but it may happen this year itself.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin to remain at 31% over the next three to four years
- 12 LCA Mk1A aircraft expected to be delivered this year.
Shares of HAL are trading 2.6% lower ahead of the earnings announcement at ₹4,33.1. The stock has declined 11.5% in the last one month.
