NALCO shares in focus as company posts best-ever half-yearly financial results since inception
Why did National Aluminium Company Ltd shares fall today?
National Aluminium Company Ltd (NALCO) shares traded lower in morning trade on Tuesday, with the stock declining 0.4% to ₹326.3 as of 09:41 AM. The decline comes even as the company released a blockbuster announcement regarding its financial performance, leaving investors slightly cautious despite the strong fundamentals.
On November 3, 2026, NALCO informed both BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd about its press release titled "NALCO Scripts History with Best-Ever Half Yearly Financial Results Since Inception." The company announced that it has achieved record all-time high Revenue, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization), PBT (Profit Before Tax), and PAT (Profit After Tax) for the first half of FY 2026-27. This is a historic milestone for the state-owned aluminium major, as it represents the best half-yearly performance the company has ever recorded since it began operations.
The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and has also been uploaded on NALCO's official website at www.nalcoindia.com. Despite the record-breaking financial results, the stock saw a mild dip in early trade, possibly due to profit-booking by investors who may have anticipated the strong numbers or broader market sentiment. The move is relatively marginal, suggesting that the strong fundamentals could support the stock going forward once the market fully digests the positive news.
