Shares of telecom equipment maker HFCL Ltd slipped 2.59% to ₹82.31 in Thursday’s early trade after the company reported a consolidated net loss of ₹83 crore in the fourth quarter of FY25, compared to a net profit of ₹109 crore in the year-ago period.
Revenue from operations dropped sharply by 39% year-on-year to ₹800 crore in Q4 FY25 from ₹1,326 crore in Q4 FY24.

Despite the subdued results, the company’s Board declared a 10% dividend for FY25, amounting to ₹0.10 per equity share of face value ₹1.
At the time of reporting, HFCL’s stock was trading at ₹82.31 with a market capitalization of ₹115.23 billion. The stock has a P/E ratio of 31.46 and a dividend yield of 0.25%.
