GHCL Q4 Results: Profit Declines, Revenue Sees Modest Growth

For the March quarter, GHCL reported a 21% year-on-year decline in net profit to ₹119.97 crore, compared to ₹152.62 crore in the same period last year. The drop reflects pressure on margins during the quarter.

However, revenue from operations showed marginal growth, rising 1.15% to ₹790.51 crore from ₹781.47 crore a year ago. Earnings per share (EPS) also declined to ₹12.73 from ₹15.96 in the corresponding quarter last year.

The mixed performance highlights stable demand but continued cost pressures impacting profitability.

GHCL Share Price Performance Remains Mixed

GHCL’s stock closed 1.7% lower at ₹519.05 on May 5, ahead of the results announcement. Over the longer term, the stock has delivered strong returns, gaining more than 120% over the past five years and over 5% in the last three years.

However, recent performance has been under pressure. The stock has declined 13% over the past year and is down about 7% so far in 2026. In the short term, though, momentum has improved, with a 14% gain over the past month.
