Three changes stood out: indian funds and insurers (DIIs) cut their stake for 7 quarters in a row, revenue down on a year earlier for 10 quarters in a row and operating margin down 5 points on a year earlier. 1. Indian funds and insurers (DIIs) cut their stake for 7 quarters in a row From 7.5% to 3.2% of the company by the September 2026 quarter. 2. Revenue down on a year earlier for 10 quarters in a row In the June 2026 quarter revenue was ₹993 crore, -9% on a year earlier. Why: Revenue fell because winning new contracts was the company's main problem, so there was less work to bill. Next results: check whether the contracts where HCC is lowest bidder turn into orders as promised. From the earnings call on 6 Aug 2026. 3. Operating margin down 5 points on a year earlier 11% in the June 2026 quarter, from 16%. Why: Margins fell because many new projects are still being set up and not yet earning. Next results: check whether the new projects start adding to profit as they move from setup into work. From the earnings call on 6 Aug 2026. ## What are Hindustan Construction Company's latest quarterly results?

- Results for April to June 2026: Revenue down 9.0% and profit up 0.0% on a year earlier. ## What dividend does Hindustan Construction Company pay? Hindustan Construction Company has paid no dividend on the NSE since 1 April 2021, the start of the period we checked. No. Hindustan Construction Company Ltd paid out 0% of its profit as dividends in each of its last 13 reported years, so there is no payout history to show. That comes from the filed annual statements, not an estimate. (From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 4 November 2026.)

## What did Hindustan Construction Company management say on the latest results call? On the call for April to June 2026, held on 6 August 2026, Hindustan Construction Company's management guided: ₹100 crore debt prepayment planned for August 2026; further significant prepayment work underway. > “I certainly believe that we could have done better on order booking by now. Let us be very clear about that.”
> Arjun Dhawan, on the call for April to June 2026

### What management guided

- FY27 new-order goal ₹15,000 crore maintained; L1 positions planned for conversion by end-Q2 and current order-book execution over 3-3.5 years. - FY27 operating profit run-rate planned at 13-14% by year-end; average full-year margins framed in the mid-teens. - FY28 revenue growth framed at 15-25%, with 20% or more planned from a low base. - Arbitration awards expected to monetize over 3-4 years; HCC planned to be largely debt-free within that timeline without relying on recoveries. Management’s own plans and goals, from our notes of the call. A plan is not a result. Source: [the call transcript](https://files.tijoristack.ai/concall/transcript/133-06-Aug-2026.pdf).

Hindustan Construction Company is on one of our India lists: Penny stocks. [Penny stocks Earnings growth, 12 months (%): 0](https://www.sectoralpha.in/penny-stocks-india)

## Is Hindustan Construction Company profitable? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd earned ₹51.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +0.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹166 Cr. That is 5.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹51.0 Cr. 3 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹166 Cr (+46.9% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −9.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved −5.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −19.8% and revenue −19.1%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does Hindustan Construction Company make, and is it growing? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd reported ₹993 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −9.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 10 years it has grown −7.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,970 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,871 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹3,970 Cr, −29.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −19.1% on average, against −7.4% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −20.7%, against −25.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +0.0%, against −37.4% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Hindustan Construction Company keep? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd's operating margin was 11.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 5.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 13 years it has been between 4.7% and 16.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −5.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −3.0 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Hindustan Construction Company's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 148% of Hindustan Construction Company Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹892 Cr of operating cash against ₹166 Cr of profit. After ₹44.0 Cr of spending on assets, ₹848 Cr was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: it has been selling more assets than it buys. The next section shows those figures. ## Where does Hindustan Construction Company's cash go? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd's customer, stock and supplier day counts come out in the thousands of days on sales this small (₹3,970 Cr in FY26), so no cash-cycle chart is drawn and this section looks at its spending on assets instead. Over the last 3 years it sold more assets than it bought, by ₹61.0 Cr. Over the last 3 years, money from selling assets was ₹61.0 Cr more than it spent on new ones. Work still in progress is ₹19.0 Cr (FY26). In short: assets are being sold, not built, so this cash is not going into new capacity. ## What is Hindustan Construction Company's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd's P/E is 34.0×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 56% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 27.4×, over 7.2 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Jun 2026 add up to ₹0.64. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +46.5% while the price moved −27.1%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +17.9% a year; about +67.0% a year came from earnings growth and about −49.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Hindustan Construction Company business getting better or worse? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE falling at 18.1%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Hindustan Construction Company earn on its capital? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd earned a ROCE of 25% in FY26. That is up from a low of 6% in FY14. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.6 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 4.2% net margin and 0.47× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 4.2% net margin × 0.47× asset turnover × 3.99× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 7.9% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 13.6% − 12.0% = +1.6 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. The 13.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 18.2%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Hindustan Construction Company have too much debt? Hindustan Construction Company Ltd has total debt of ₹1,019 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,127 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.48× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from −3.06 in FY22 to 0.48 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Hindustan Construction Company shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions cut their stake in Hindustan Construction Company Ltd by 2.7 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 3.2% of the company. Promoters moved −2.4 points over the same period, to 16.2%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: −2.7 points over 8 quarters, to 3.2%; Promoters: −2.4 points over 8 quarters, to 16.2%; Foreign institutions: +0.5 points over 8 quarters, to 10.3%. Promoters own under 20%, so this is a widely owned company where institutions, not a family, have the most say. Why the owners changed: domestic institutions drove it (−2.7 points), together with promoters (−2.4 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is Hindustan Construction Company from balance-sheet trouble? For Hindustan Construction Company Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Hindustan Construction Company rank in its industry? 40.5 out of 100, rank 14 of 18 in Infra - Construction & Contracting, with 79% of the evidence available. Hindustan Construction Company Ltd scores 40.5 out of 100 against the 18 companies it is compared with in Infra - Construction & Contracting, ranking 14. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 7.2 + 15.7 + 9.2 + 8.4 = 40.5. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Hindustan Construction Company compared with? Hindustan Construction Company ranks 14 of 18 Infra - Construction & Contracting companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 40.5 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
