RVNL Stock Tumbles as Q1 Earnings Fall Short—Investors Hit the Brakes

Another quarter, another disappointment—RVNL shares keep sliding as earnings fail to impress.

What went wrong? The numbers didn’t lie, and neither did the market’s reaction. A classic case of 'buy the rumor, sell the news'—except there wasn’t much rumor to begin with.

Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL) investors got a harsh reminder: infrastructure plays aren’t immune to profit-taking. The stock’s downward spiral continues, proving once again that hope isn’t a viable investment strategy.

Meanwhile, crypto traders are stacking satoshis while traditional markets play catch-up. Just saying.

Weak operational performance

Despite the weak operational performance, RVNL’s share of profit from joint ventures and associates ROSE to ₹9.37 crore (₹1.36 crore). Total expenses declined marginally to ₹3,972.92 crore.

The company has outstanding receivables of ₹1,275.25 crore from Krishnapatnam Railway Company (KRCL), including ₹889.95 crore in interest on delayed payments. KRCL has requested a waiver of departmental charges worth 5 per cent of project completion cost, which remains pending with the board.

RVNL shares have declined significantly from their 52-week high of ₹619.50 in September 2024.
