what happened
India's HFCL reported consolidated net profit of Rs 394.22 crore for the second quarter of FY27, against Rs 71.92 crore a year earlier. Revenue climbed 143.62% to Rs 2,541.79 crore, and EBITDA rose 223.55% to Rs 658 crore. The EBITDA margin widened to 25.89% from 19.49%.
The order book reached Rs 28,911 crore, which the company says gives it multi-year revenue visibility. HFCL now expects FY27 revenue to grow by at least 80% over FY26 and plans to spend about Rs 1,800 crore on expanding optical fibre, cable and preform capacity.
The defence and aerospace division is expected to generate roughly Rs 500 crore of revenue in FY27, according to the company. After the results, the shares hit the 5% upper circuit at Rs 268.70 on the BSE and have gained nearly 300% so far in 2026.
why it matters
The report concerns a single company, so its effect on the broader market is limited. It does, however, signal strong demand for optical fibre and telecom equipment tied to AI infrastructure and data centres, which matters for investors following the telecom and cable sector.
