HFCL Share Price Surges 300% in 2026 as AI and Defence Orders Drive Growth; FY27 Revenue Guidance Raised to 40%

HFCL has witnessed a remarkable increase in its stock value, tripling over the last 6 months. This surge is attributed to the company's advancements in the optical fibre cables and defence electronics sectors, coupled with significant orders in artificial intelligence (AI) and global market expansion. 

HFCL's Growth in Optical Fibre and Defence Electronics 

HFCL has significantly increased its revenue growth projection to 40% for FY27, supported by its burgeoning order book. By the end of FY26, orders had more than doubled to ₹21,206 crore, hitting ₹26,665 crore by June 2026.  

The company's expansion into international markets has bolstered its overseas revenue, increasing from 12% to 40% in FY26. By the fiscal year's conclusion, over 60% of revenue is projected to come from overseas. 

AI and Global Market Expansion 

The global increase in AI-related capital expenditure has been a key driver for HFCL. Capacity expansion projects are underway to meet the growing demand, with optical fibre capacity rising to 34 million km and optical fibre cable capacity to 43 million km.  

HFCL's strategic integration plans include setting up a preform manufacturing facility with a capacity of 300 tonnes by July 2029, costing ₹580 crore. 

Diversification into Defence Sector 

HFCL has diversified into the defence sector, boasting an order book of ₹2,300 crore by June. Production facilities for ammunition, multimode hand grenades, and electronic fuses are being established. Additional defence products include surveillance radars, thermal imaging, and tactical communication solutions.
