HFCL reported Q1 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹871 crore, up about 9% from the previous quarter but down 25% from a year ago. The company swung back to a positive operating profit (EBITDA) of ₹42.93 crore, recovering sharply from a ₹22.33 crore loss in Q4 FY25, though margins remained thin at 4.93%. Net loss narrowed to ₹29.30 crore from ₹83.30 crore in the previous quarter, but the company is still in the red on a year-on-year basis. On the business front, the order book jumped to ₹10,480 crore, supported by new wins including ₹650 crore in BharatNet Phase III orders, ₹300 crore in new export OFC orders, and a defence breakthrough with thermal weapon sights for AK-203 rifles. The Board approved a major expansion of fibre cable capacity, and the company highlighted that 66% of its revenue now comes from products and 24% from exports.
The strong order book, improving quarter-on-quarter margins, and capacity expansion are encouraging signs for the rest of FY26. However, the year-on-year drop in revenue and profits, along with a continuing net loss, suggest the stock may stay under pressure in the near term until profitability is fully restored.
