Afcons Infrastructure share price declined 9% after the company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of FY26. Revenue also declined significantly compared to the previous year. The company missed its revised full-year guidance for topline growth and order inflows. Despite challenges, Afcons highlighted its healthy order book and successful project execution milestones.
Shares of Afcons Infrastructure tumbled as much as 9% to their day's low of Rs 289 on the BSE on Tuesday after it reported a net loss of Rs 89 crore in the fourth quarter of FY26 against a profit after tax of Rs 111 crore in the same period last year. The company said net profit was impacted by macroeconomic uncertainties and certain one-time factors.
The company’s revenue from operations also dipped by 18% to Rs 2,777 crore from Rs 3,387 crore posted in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year, Afcons said in its investor presentation.
EBITDA came in at Rs 170 crore, marking a 59% drop from Rs 415 crore posted in the year-ago period. Margins also witnessed a sharp fall, down 6.1% from 12.2% in Q4FY25. For the full year, the company’s order book stood at Rs 32,496 crore, ‘ensuring visibility on its future revenue and profitability’, it said.
Afcons infra guidance miss
Afcons Infrastructure also fell short of its revised guidance for the full year. At the start of the year, the company had projected topline growth of 20% to 25%. This guidance was later reduced to 10% in the second quarter and further lowered to 5% in the third quarter. However, the company eventually reported a 5% decline for the full year.
Live Events
Afcons Infra had estimated FY26 order inflows at Rs 20,000 crore, but the final figure came in at Rs 4,125 crore.
The company had guided for margins of over 11%, including other income. Its margin for the year stood at 11.7%.
The management said “FY26 was a challenging year for Afcons, particularly due to slower ordering activity in several segments, delays in project conversion and continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties. Despite these headwinds, our order book remained healthy at Rs 32,496 crore as of March 2026, providing good visibility on future revenues and profitability. Order inflow during the year stood at Rs 4,125 crore.”
Despite operating in a challenging environment, Afcons Infrastructure continued to achieve key execution milestones during the year, including the commissioning of the HRRL Crude Oil Terminal at Mundra, the opening of a crucial stretch of the Central Silk Board double-decker corridor in Bengaluru, and successful trial runs on the Agra and Kanpur Metro projects.
The company said these milestones demonstrate its strong execution capabilities and sustained focus on delivering complex infrastructure projects. Afcons added that it remains committed to disciplined project selection and execution, operational excellence, and long-term value creation for stakeholders.
