HAL Q1 Results 2025 Preview: Defence PSU may post 10% rise in PAT, 14% YoY revenue growth; Tejas Mk1a deliveries eyed
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), the state-run defence company is set to announce its Q1 results on Tuesday. The meeting of the board of directors of HAL is scheduled on August 12 to consider and approve the financial results for the first quarter of FY26. HAL share price traded higher on Monday ahead of the announcement of the Q1 results 2025. HAL shares gained as much as 2.4% to an intraday high of ₹ 4,546.55 apiece on the BSE. The defence PSU is expected to report decent earnings growth, with revenue rising on the back of execution of the healthy order book, and margin expansion led by easing of supply chain issues. Hindustan Aeronautics is expected to report a 10% net profit growth at ₹ 1,579 crore in the June quarter as compared to a net profit of ₹ 1,435.6 crore in the corresponding quarter of previous fiscal year, according to Livemint poll of three brokerages. The company's revenue in Q1FY26 is estimated to grow 14% to ₹ 4,956 crore from ₹ 4,347.6 crore, year-on-year (YoY), led by the execution of the healthy order book of ₹ 1.8 lakh crore. Order inflows during the quarter are estimated to rise 17.8% to ₹ 5,300 crore from ₹ 4,500 crore, YoY. 'We expect healthy topline growth, underpinned by steady execution against a robust ₹ 1.8 trillion order book. Margins are likely to expand progressively, aided by increasing indigenization and easing supply chain bottlenecks. That said, we remain watchful of execution risks, particularly the adherence to Tejas Mk1 delivery timelines and the timely receipt of additional GE 404 engines,' said Krishna Doshi, Defence Analyst at Ashika Institutional Equities. At the operational level, brokerage firm Nomura expects EBITDA to increase 11.4% to ₹ 1,107 crore from ₹ 993.8 crore, YoY, EBITDA margin to remain flat YoY. It expects other income to grow 18% YoY and depreciation expenses to remain flat. Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL) expects HAL's Q1 revenue growth of 21% YoY, driven by a healthy execution of the opening order book of ₹ 1.8 lakh crore. It expects EBITDA margin to expand by 120 basis points (bp YoY, aided by increased indigenization and easing of supply chain issues. 'The execution of huge backlog, incremental inflows, and comfortable margin levels will be the key focus areas. Key monitorables include the status of Tejas Mk1a deliveries and Su-30 avionics upgrade project, any major deviation in provisions created, and the working capital cycle,' MOFSL said The brokerage firm has a 'Buy' rating on HAL shares and increased its target price slightly to ₹ 5,750 per share. Hindustan Aeronautics share price formed a mother bar with a high of ₹ 5,165 and low of ₹ 4,420 on the week of May 12, 2025, noted Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree. 'For the past 12 weeks, HAL share price has traded largely within this range, creating a mini coil pattern, reflecting indecision and compression in price action. A failure by bears to sustain below ₹ 4,420 will likely trigger short covering, propelling the stock toward the mother bar high of ₹ 5,165. Conversely, a decisive breakdown below ₹ 4,380 will open the door for a deeper decline toward the ₹ 4,000 zone,' Jain said. According to him, the current pattern demands close monitoring for directional clarity. HAL share price has fallen 8% in one month, but has rallied 22% in the past six months. The PSU defence stock has risen 7% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, while it has jumped 135% in two years. HAL share price has delivered multibagger returns of 775% over the past five years.

Meet Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair, Axiom-4's backup astronaut and Shubhanshu Shukla's Gaganyaan crewmate?
At 12:01 pm IST on Wednesday, four astronauts will lift off from NASA 's Kennedy Space Center. Their destination: the International Space Station. Their mission: a packed fortnight of global scientific research in low Earth orbit. India plays a key role in both the primary and backup crew of Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4). Shubhanshu Shukla will serve as pilot on the main team. And now, another Indian—Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair—has officially joined the backup crew. Prasanth Nair: India's test pilot in waiting Group Captain Prasanth Nair, a senior Indian Air Force officer and ISRO astronaut trainee, has been named backup pilot for the Ax-4 mission. For those following India's space ambitions, this name will be familiar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 경고: 이 게임 진짜 중독성 쩔어요. 지금 해봐! Hero Wars 플레이하기 Undo Born in Thiruvazhiyad, Kerala in 1976, Nair has served as commanding officer of a Su-30 squadron. He trained at the National Defence Academy and has over 3,000 hours of flying experience across fighter jets and transport aircraft. In 2019, he was selected by ISRO for astronaut training at Russia's Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. On 27 February 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially revealed him as one of four astronauts preparing for Gaganyaan, India's first human spaceflight. Live Events 'I am honoured and excited for the opportunity to be a part of the historic Axiom Mission 4 as backup pilot,' said Nair. Hungary's Gyula Cserényi joins as backup specialist Gyula Cserényi, an electrical engineer from Kecskemét, Hungary, has been appointed backup mission specialist. Born in 1989, Cserényi holds degrees in electrical engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and an economics qualification from the Budapest University of Economics. He started his career in the energy sector, working his way up from project engineer to leading the electrical network safety unit at a major industrial site. Fluent in English and conversant in German, Cserényi is also a sports enthusiast. He has completed the Spartan Race nine times and enjoys fencing and wall climbing. He is married with two children. What Ax-4 will do at the ISS? Once docked—around 4:30 pm IST on Thursday—the crew will begin their two-week scientific mission. The Ax-4 astronauts, led by Commander Peggy Whitson and including Indian pilot Shubhanshu Shukla, will carry out dozens of research experiments across biology, technology and agriculture. This will be Axiom Space's most research-intensive mission so far, involving contributions from 31 countries. NASA flight engineers Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers will oversee the spacecraft's approach and docking with the Harmony module of the ISS. Experiments will cover topics ranging from cancer cell behaviour to 3D-printed polymers and DNA repair. Nations contributing to the research include India, the United States, Hungary, Poland (in partnership with the European Space Agency), Brazil, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia. Shubhanshu Shukla to lead India's science payload Shukla's role in the mission is central to India's contribution. He will oversee ISRO-led microgravity research projects developed with NASA and ESA. The experiments focus on biological systems and how they behave under zero gravity. Once docked, the Ax-4 crew will be welcomed by the current seven Expedition 73 members, receive safety briefings, and begin science operations. Shukla and his team's work aims to inform future long-duration missions. The Indian research programme includes: Analysing screen exposure effects on physical and mental functions in space Studying the growth and metabolism of three microalgae variants Investigating cellular behaviour of two cyanobacteria species Examining muscle loss and countermeasures in microgravity Testing six varieties of crop seeds in space conditions Monitoring seed germination and plant development in orbit Understanding how organisms survive in extreme environments Each experiment is designed to deliver real-world insights for medical science, agriculture, and long-term space travel. The Ax-4 mission is a stepping stone for India's Gaganyaan programme. With astronauts in both the core and backup crew, and a substantial research role aboard the ISS, India is no longer a passive participant in space science. These missions give Indian researchers and engineers hands-on experience in human spaceflight and reinforce the country's presence in international collaborations. As science becomes more global, India's ability to contribute knowledge and innovation will help shape the future of exploration. For now, eyes are on the sky—and on the growing team of Indians helping humanity reach beyond Earth.
