HFCL reported FY25 consolidated revenue of ₹4,064.52 Cr, down nearly 9% YoY from ₹4,465.05 Cr. Consolidated EBIDTA fell about 26% to ₹506.75 Cr and PAT dropped nearly 49% to ₹173.26 Cr, with margins compressing sharply (EBIDTA margin -281 bps to 12.47%, PAT margin -330 bps to 4.26%). Q4FY25 was particularly weak — consolidated revenue fell 40% YoY to ₹800.72 Cr, with EBIDTA turning negative at -₹22.33 Cr and PAT at -₹83.30 Cr. Management attributed the weakness to a downturn in optical fiber cable demand, margin pressure from newly launched telecom products, and slower customer offtake in the EPC business. On the positive side, the company has a strong order book of ₹9,967 Cr as of March 31, 2025, declared a 10% dividend (₹0.1 per share), and guided for 25-30% revenue growth in FY26 driven by full capacity utilization in fiber plants and a ramp-up in defence and data centre businesses.
The sharp YoY decline in FY25 profits and a loss-making Q4 are negatives that may pressure the stock in the near term. However, the strong ₹9,967 Cr order book, expected fiber plant capacity reaching full utilization, and explicit 25-30% FY26 revenue growth guidance provide a recovery narrative that could limit downside.
