## Faxioms Analysis

_As of 2026-09-18_

### Technical Outlook

As of September 18, 2026, NHPC is trading at ₹76.95. The stock exhibits a mixed technical picture across different timeframes. Daily indicators suggest a potential shift, with the price currently below the Supertrend, EMA 50, and SMA 200, but above the EMA 20 and SMA 20. This is accompanied by several daily reversal patterns, including a Bullish Engulfing and Morning Star formation, alongside an unusual upward price move of 2% on the same day. However, weekly and monthly timeframes present a more cautionary outlook, with the price below key moving averages and Supertrend indicators on both, indicating a bearish trend in the longer term. The stock is currently trading closer to its nearest support level of ₹76.61, which is approximately 0.44% below the current price, than its nearest resistance at ₹78.14, about 1.55% higher.

The stock's risk profile shows an annualized volatility of 27% and a current drawdown of -15%. The presence of multiple reversal patterns on the daily chart, coupled with the mixed signals from longer-term trends, suggests a period of potential transition or consolidation. The recent market activity shows 3 positive attention events and 1 downside event in the last 30 days.

Key watch conditions include monitoring the price action around the ₹76.61 support level. A break below this could signal further downside. Conversely, a sustained move above the nearest resistance at ₹78.14, particularly with increasing volume, would be needed to challenge the bearish signals from the weekly and monthly charts. The formation of further bullish patterns on the daily chart could provide short-term positive momentum, but alignment with longer-term trends would be crucial for a stronger technical outlook.

- On September 18, 2026, NHPC closed at ₹76.95.
- Daily chart shows reversal patterns (Bullish Engulfing, Morning Star) and an unusual 2% upward price move.
- Weekly and monthly charts indicate a bearish trend, with price below key moving averages and Supertrend.

### News Context

NHPC's insurance expenses may be impacted by rising climate risks in the Himalayas, as reported on September 16, 2026. Flooding in Nepal and Tibet has increased the cost of insuring infrastructure, including hydropower projects, due to a higher incidence of events like flash floods and glacial lake outburst floods. This trend suggests a potential for increased reinsurance costs for Indian companies operating in the region. Separately, on September 15, 2026, PNC Infratech saw its stock dip 20% following a three-year ban by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). However, PNC Infratech stated this ban would have little impact due to its diversified project portfolio.

# Revenue Hits Highest Level in Five Quarters, but Finance Cost Surge Caps Profit Improvement

NHPC’s first quarter of FY2026-27 delivered a sharp sequential and year-on-year increase in revenue. However, a sharp rise in finance costs—more than doubling from a year earlier—absorbed much of the revenue gain, leaving pre-tax profit slightly below the prior-year level. Net profit edged higher only because of a marginally lower tax charge.

## Revenue: Highest in the Last Five Quarters

Revenue from operations reached ₹3,808.31 crore, the highest in the last five quarters. This represented an 18.5% increase over the same quarter last year (₹3,213.77 crore) and a 35.3% jump from the preceding March quarter (₹2,815.53 crore).

## Finance Costs: Sharp Year-on-Year Increase

Finance costs for the quarter were ₹605.76 crore, up 132.3% from ₹260.80 crore in Q1 FY2025-26. The sequential increase from the March quarter (₹574.28 crore) was a more modest 5.5%. The absolute increase in finance costs (₹344.96 crore) was more than half the absolute revenue growth (₹594.54 crore), indicating that a significant portion of the top-line improvement was consumed by higher interest expenses.

## Profitability: Pre-Tax Decline, Net Profit Modestly Higher

Profit before tax was ₹1,298.19 crore, down 2.7% from ₹1,333.93 crore a year earlier. This decline occurred despite the 18.5% revenue increase, confirming that total expenses—led by finance costs—grew faster than revenue. The tax expense was ₹375.61 crore, slightly lower than the ₹387.15 crore in the prior-year quarter. As a result, net profit (profit for the period) came in at ₹1,178.09 crore, up 4.2% year on year. The sequential comparison with Q4 FY2025-26 is distorted by the large negative tax expense recorded in that quarter (‑₹1,823.20 crore), which had inflated net profit to ₹1,549.42 crore.

Basic earnings per share were ₹1.09, compared with ₹1.06 in the same quarter last year, a 2.8% increase that mirrors the net profit movement.

## Key Takeaway

NHPC’s Q1 revenue was the strongest in recent quarters. But the quarter’s financial story is dominated by a sharp escalation in finance costs, which more than doubled from a year ago and absorbed most of the revenue growth. Pre-tax profit slipped slightly, and net profit rose only modestly because of a small reduction in the tax charge. The rising interest burden is a material development that compressed the benefit of higher revenue.
