Hindustan Aeronautics falls after Q2 margin miss
In short
Hindustan Aeronautics shares fell after its Q2 EBITDA margin came in at 22.8%, down from 23.5% last year. A CNBC-TV18 poll had expected 25%, so the result missed estimates. Revenue still rose 15%.
The weaker margin matters because investors often react sharply when profit levels come in below expectations.
