HAL shares in focus as order book hits Rs 1.89 lakh crore; management sees double-digit growth ahead
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 22, 2025, 14:26 IST
Shares of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) were in focus on Wednesday after the company, during its Q4 FY25 earnings call, revealed that its order book has swelled to ₹1.89 lakh crore, boosted by significant manufacturing and overhaul contracts. The company also projected double-digit revenue growth from the next financial year.
HAL stated that it expects to deliver 30 AL-31FP engines annually over the next eight years, further strengthening its long-term revenue visibility. These updates have sparked renewed investor interest, even as the stock has already gained over 17% in the past one month, now trading at ₹5,022.80.
Earlier, on May 14, HAL had reported its Q4 FY25 results. While net profit declined 7.8% year-on-year to ₹3,958 crore, it beat street estimates of ₹2,592 crore. Revenue fell 7.2% YoY to ₹13,700 crore, slightly above its own provisional guidance of ₹13,118 crore.
The company also delivered a Q4 EBITDA of ₹5,292 crore, well above analyst expectations of ₹3,591 crore, with EBITDA margins of 38.6%, although slightly down by 140 basis points year-on-year.
In a provisional update prior to the results, HAL had confirmed new manufacturing contracts worth ₹1.02 lakh crore and RoH (repair and overhaul) contracts worth ₹17,500 crore. A key part of this includes the ₹62,777 crore deal with the Ministry of Defence for the supply of 156 LCH Prachand helicopters.
With a current market capitalisation of ₹3.36 trillion, HAL remains one of the leading players in India's defence manufacturing space. Investors are closely monitoring further developments as the company enters a high-execution phase of its record order book.

Dermer holds first phone call with Qatari PM on hostage deal efforts
US envoy Steve Witkoff attempted to arrange a meeting between Dermer and Al-Thani, but it never came to fruition. Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who leads Israel's negotiating team in hostage talks, spoke with Qatari Prime Minister Muhammad bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani on the phone over the weekend, a source familiar with the matter told Walla on Tuesday. Sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that this was the first direct contact between the two. Al-Thani is considered a key mediator between Israel and Hamas in the ongoing negotiations. Dermer's office declined to comment on the matter. The Post previously reported that US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, attempted to arrange a meeting between Dermer and Al-Thani after Dermer took office, but it never came to fruition. A source familiar with the details said the conversation aimed to eliminate any 'broken telephone' issues between the parties and ensure that Al-Thani fully understood Israel's position before his scheduled meetings with senior Hamas officials in Doha. Following the conversation with Dermer, Al-Thani met with Hamas leaders to discuss the negotiations. Over the weekend, Hamas announced its readiness to begin 'proximity talks' with Israel to address the remaining disputes regarding the hostage deal and the ceasefire in Gaza. Israeli officials, however, noted that despite Hamas's declaration, the group has so far refused to negotiate on the basis of Witkoff's proposal and continues to maintain its previous position rejecting the plan. Earlier on Tuesday, Israel said it would not send a delegation to Qatar after Hamas requested changes to the deal outlined by Witkoff. However, an Israeli official said that "negotiations have not stopped, efforts of the mediators will continue."

Simone Inzaghi resigns as coach of Inter Milan amid Saudi interest
MILAN (AP) — The 5-0 rout by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final was Simone Inzaghi's final match in charge of Inter Milan. 'The time has come for me to say goodbye to this club after a run of four years during which I gave everything,' Inzaghi wrote in a letter to Inter fans on the club website Tuesday. Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is reportedly trying to lure Inzaghi with an offer of more than 20 million euros ($23 million) per season. Inzaghi coached Inter to the Serie A title last year, and was also in charge when the Nerazzurri lost the 2023 Champions League title to Manchester City. He was at Inter for exactly four years and had one more season remaining on his contract. It's unclear now who will coach Inter at the Club World Cup in the United States starting June 14. Inter opens against Monterrey on June 17 — a day before Al-Hilal opens against Real Madrid. There has been speculation that Inter would go after Cesc Fabregas, who coached Como to a 10th-place finish in Serie A. Inter finished second in the Italian league last month, one point behind champion Napoli. Inter was in the running for a treble until it lost to city rival AC Milan in the Italian Cup semifinals in April. Having also been beaten by Milan in the Italian Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia in January, the Nerazzurri didn't win a trophy this season. The coaching change at Inter is just one of many managerial moves among the top Italian teams this offseason, with Milan, Roma, Atalanta and others making changes.
