HAL's Board has declared a first interim dividend of Rs. 35 per share (700% on face value of Rs. 5) for FY 2025-26, with record date February 18, 2026 and payment on or before March 14, 2026. On a standalone basis, Q3 FY26 revenue from operations grew about 10.6% year-on-year to Rs. 7,69,887 lakhs, while net profit jumped roughly 29% to Rs. 1,85,172 lakhs (EPS Rs. 27.69 vs Rs. 21.42). For the nine months ended December 2025, revenue rose 10.8% to Rs. 19,14,647 lakhs and net profit rose 12.2% to Rs. 4,89,139 lakhs, with 9M EPS of Rs. 73.14. Statutory auditors issued an unmodified opinion but included an Emphasis of Matter paragraph flagging pension contribution revision, pay-fixation litigation, gratuity ceiling increase, provisional FPQ pricing, and a tax refund of Rs. 42,302 lakhs received during the quarter. Notes specific to JVs also flag going-concern issues for HATSOFF (negative networth situation despite profit) and material uncertainty for HALBIT Avionics.
The 29% jump in quarterly profit and a hefty 700% interim dividend signal strong cash generation and confidence, which is positive for shareholders. The going-concern flags are limited to two small joint ventures (HATSOFF and HALBIT) and do not impact the parent's operations or dividend, but are worth monitoring in the consolidated picture.
