Summary

After a strong upward streak, the HAL share price experienced a healthy correction of 2.16%, reflecting some short-term profit booking. However, the stock continues to show strong momentum over the longer term, supported by robust YTD gains and a steady recovery from its March lows.

While recent quarterly results showed a decline in revenue and profits, market sentiment around the stock remains optimistic due to HAL's strategic role in India's defence manufacturing and export pipeline.
