Cochin Shipyard shares jump over 4% ahead of Q4 results
rose 4.4% to Rs 1,774.90 in intraday trade on the BSE on Thursday, ahead of its March quarter results due later in the day.
In an exchange filing on May 9, the company said its board of directors would meet on Thursday, May 15, to consider and approve the standalone and consolidated audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025.
Defence order pipeline boosts sentiment
State-run defence shipbuilders—including Cochin Shipyard,
Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders
, and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE)—are expected to see their combined order books more than triple over the next two years, according to Antique Stock Broking.
The brokerage noted that a sharp rebound in defence stocks since April, following border tensions between India and Pakistan and the approval of Rs 54,000 crore worth of defence contracts, has rekindled investor interest after a prolonged correction.
Antique reiterated its 'Buy' rating on Mazagon Dock and GRSE, while maintaining a 'Hold' on Cochin Shipyard due to limited visibility on the timeline and scope of the proposed second indigenous aircraft carrier (IAC-II). It expects defence stocks to trade at up to 45 times FY27 core earnings, supported by strong policy tailwinds, increased indigenisation, and a healthy capex pipeline.
Q3 performance recap
In Q3 FY25, Cochin Shipyard reported a 27% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 177 crore, down from Rs 244 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations rose 9% to Rs 1,148 crore, compared to Rs 1,056 crore a year earlier.
Operating profit (EBITDA) fell 23% to Rs 237 crore, and operating margins contracted to 20.7%. The board also declared a second interim dividend of Rs 3.5 per share for FY25.
Cochin Shipyard share price target
According to Trendlyne data, the average target price for Cochin Shipyard stock is Rs 1,338, indicating a potential downside of 23% from current levels. Of the three analysts tracking the stock, the consensus rating remains 'Hold'.

Havells India's Q1 net profit falls 33 pc sequentially, revenue down 17 pc
Mumbai: Havells India on Monday reported a net profit of Rs 347.53 crore in the first quarter (Q1) of FY26, down 32.78 per cent on quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis from Rs 517 crore in Q4 FY25. Revenue from operations also dropped by 16.63 per cent, falling to Rs 5,455.35 crore from Rs 6,543.56 crore in the previous quarter, according to its stock exchange filing. Total income for the quarter also followed suit and stood at Rs 5,524.53 crore -- marking a 16.45 per cent decline from Rs 6,612.28 crore in Q4 FY25. Year-on-year (YoY), the company also saw a drop in its profit. Consolidated profit after tax (PAT) fell 14.75 per cent from Rs 407.51 crore in the April-June quarter of the previous fiscal. Revenue from operations also declined 6 per cent YoY from Rs 5,806.21 crore in Q1 FY25. The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) fell to Rs 570 crore, slightly lower than Rs 576 crore in the same quarter previous year. The EBITDA margin dropped to 5.6 per cent, compared to 9.9 per cent a year ago, as per its exchange filing. Havells attributed the weak performance to an unusually mild summer this year, which hurt demand for cooling products like fans and air coolers. It noted that while industrial and infrastructure demand remained strong, consumer sentiment was weak. "Tepid summer this year, in contrast to the strong season last year, led to significant decline in cooling products," the company said in its exchange filing. Among its segments, wires and cables performed strongly, with revenue rising 27.1 per cent to Rs 1,933 crore compared to Rs 1,521 crore a year ago. However, the lighting and fixtures business slipped 3.1 per cent to Rs 374 crore. The company also highlighted that the performance of its Lloyd brand was impacted due to unseasonal rains and a shorter summer, leading to higher inventory levels and flattish growth in the first half of the calendar year. The results were announced after market hours. Ahead of the announcement, Havells' stock closed 0.95 per cent higher at Rs 1,533 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
