Shares of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited jumped over 4% on 14 May, touching an intraday high of Rs 4,808.60 on the BSE, after the Bengaluru-based PSU reported steady growth in profit and revenue for the March quarter during trading hours. 

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited’s consolidated net profit for Q4 FY26 came in at Rs 4,196 crore, a 6% rise from Rs 3,977 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations grew 1.8% year-on-year to Rs 13,942 crore.

The jump from the previous quarter was far more dramatic. HAL had earned Rs 1,867 crore in net profit during Q3 FY26. The March quarter profit rose 125% sequentially. Revenue also surged 81% quarter-on-quarter from Rs 7,699 crore. 

HAL typically records a large share of annual deliveries and revenue recognition in the March quarter, which explains the sharp swing.

For the full year FY26, consolidated PAT rose nearly 9% to Rs 9,115.52 crore from Rs 8,364 crore in FY25. Full-year revenue from operations grew 6.78% to Rs 33,089 crore. Net worth jumped 17% to Rs 40,862 crore, and EPS for the year came in at Rs 135.71.

The board had already declared an interim dividend of Rs 35 per equity share of face value Rs 5 back in February 2026, a 700% payout. The company did not announce any additional dividend alongside the Q4 results.

HAL shares were trading at Rs 4,675.90 on the BSE, up 1.27% on the day, having pared gains from the morning high. The stock’s 52-week high is Rs 5,166 and 52-week low is Rs 3,479.10. Over three years, the stock has returned 216%.
