News

Larsen & Toubro experienced significant stock volatility between April 6 and April 12, 2026. Shares initially rose, reclaiming the ₹4,000 mark on April 8 following a US-Iran ceasefire, despite earlier concerns regarding West Asia exposure. However, the stock faced pressure on April 9 after a $3.7 billion order win from NTPC failed to prevent a 2% decline. Throughout the week, the company secured major project wins, including a significant order that marked its fifth-largest contract. Analysts maintained a generally positive outlook, with Morgan Stanley naming the company an overweight stock and CLSA identifying it as a cost-effective large-cap industrial play, even as some firms adjusted price targets to reflect near-term geopolitical risks.

Latest Quarter Info

For the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated positive revenue momentum, achieving growth of 5.1% sequentially and 10.5% year-over-year. Despite this top-line expansion, profitability faced downward pressure, with net profit declining by 18.2% quarter-over-quarter and 3.7% year-over-year. This divergence between revenue growth and bottom-line performance is reflected in an operating margin of 13.0%, which highlights the impact of operational costs, interest obligations, and a 34% tax rate on final earnings. The earnings per share followed the net profit trend, showing a contraction compared to both the previous quarter and the same period last year. Overall, the snapshot indicates that while the company continues to scale its revenue base, managing the cost structure and interest burden remains a critical factor in stabilizing net profitability.
