HPCL (INE094A01015) is scheduled to review its second-quarter and first-half fiscal 2026-27 results on October 22, 2026, while analysts tracked by Investing.com show an average 12-month target of INR 406.65 for the stock. The date follows a difficult first quarter in which standalone net profit swung to a loss of INR 115.26 billion.

October 22 results date

Screener lists October 22, 2026 as HPCL's upcoming results date and records an October 23 conference call for the second quarter and first half. The results will cover the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, giving investors a fresh test of refining margins, fuel marketing economics and working-capital pressure.

What does the loss mean?

Screener reports standalone June 2026 sales of INR 1.40 trillion, compared with INR 1.11 trillion in June 2025. That is a calculated year-over-year increase of 26.83 percent, but operating profit fell to a loss of INR 161.41 billion from a profit of INR 76.02 billion in the year-earlier quarter.

The earnings mix explains why the October report matters more than sales growth alone. HPCL's June 2026 net result was an INR 115.26 billion loss, versus a profit of INR 43.71 billion in June 2025, so the next report will show whether operating conditions improved after the sharp margin squeeze.

Three dated operating markers

On May 13, 2026, Hindustan Petroleum reported fiscal 2026 revenue of INR 4.79 trillion and consolidated profit after tax of INR 180.47 billion. The company also reported refinery throughput of 26.04 million metric tons, up 3.00 percent from fiscal 2025.

On July 22, 2026, Screener recorded the June 2026 loss, and on October 12, 2026, it listed the board meeting for the September 2026 quarter and half-year results. The sequence moves from strong fiscal-year profitability to a large interim loss and then to a scheduled reporting checkpoint.

Market value before results

HPCL was last quoted at INR 329.00 on the NSE on October 13, 2026 at 3:28 p.m. IST. Its market capitalization was INR 700.1 billion, and the 52-week range was INR 316.20 to INR 508.45, placing the latest quoted value INR 12.80 above the yearly low and INR 179.45 below the yearly high.
