On May 5, 2026, numerous prominent companies, including Larsen & Toubro, Hero MotoCorp, and Punjab National Bank, will announce their fourth-quarter earnings. Larsen & Toubro is projected to report a net profit of ₹5,501.73 crore, showing minimal year-on-year growth but a significant sequential increase of around 71% from ₹3,215.11 crore. Revenue from its capital goods segment is expected to rise by 12.7% year-on-year to ₹83,830 crore. Meanwhile, Ambuja Cements has reported a 78.5% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to ₹1,830.2 crore, primarily due to substantial tax credits. However, adjusting for one-off items, the normalized profit stands at ₹569 crore. Market indicators suggest a weak start, with the GIFT Nifty trading down over 100 points amid negative global cues, influenced by escalating geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. This situation raises concerns over potential impacts on global economic growth.
