UBS Downgrades HAL to 'Neutral': HAL Share Price Recommendation

Global broking firm UBS has downgraded Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HNAL) from a Buy to a Neutral rating, citing that most near-term positive triggers have already been factored into the stock price.

UBS noted that recent positive developments, such as the resolution of the GE F404 engine delay, the LCH (Light Combat Helicopter) order, and the easing of uncertainty around the LCA MK1A fighter aircraft order, have already been priced in by the market.
The broking revised its order book CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for FY26-28 from 21% down to 14%, based on HAL's new guidance indicating longer-than-expected timelines for the Su-30 MKI upgrade and the LCA Mark 2 orders.

UBS expects a notable change in HAL's revenue composition by FY28, with manufacturing share rising from 23% to 40% and MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) share dropping from 70% to 54%, thanks to increased capacity at HAL's Bangalore and Nashik LCA facilities and the new helicopter plant at Tumkuru.

Trading Window Closed for Insiders

As per SEBI regulations and HAL's internal code of conduct, the company has closed its trading window for insiders, designated employees, and their immediate relatives.
