Garuda Construction and Engineering Limited submitted its financial results for the period ended March 31, 2026, to the National Stock Exchange on May 18, 2026, even as the stock tumbled 6.94% to ₹167.31 during the session, reflecting immediate market reaction to the disclosed numbers.

Result Announcement and Market Reaction

The board meeting outcome was filed with NSE at 10:18 AM on May 18, 2026. At the time of trading, the stock shed ₹12.49 to close at ₹167.31, with a total volume of 4,15,723 shares changing hands during the session. The company's current market capitalisation stands at ₹1,559.57 Cr. Daily volatility is recorded at 3.64%, indicating a moderately active counter.

Delivery Data and Trading Depth

Delivery percentage for the session stood at 54.63%, meaning that more than half the traded volume resulted in actual share transfers rather than intraday squaring off. A delivery percentage above 50% generally reflects a higher proportion of positional interest in the counter compared to purely speculative activity, though it must be read alongside overall volume trends.

Valuation Context

Garuda Construction trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 15.77, which is identical to the sector PE of 15.77, indicating that the stock is currently valued in line with its peer group. This parity suggests neither a meaningful premium nor a discount to the broader construction and engineering sector at current price levels.

52-Week Range and Price Context

The stock's 52-week high of ₹249.30 was recorded on November 7, 2025, while the 52-week low of ₹101.56 was touched on May 27, 2025. At the current price of ₹167.31, the stock is trading approximately 32.9% below its 52-week peak and roughly 64.7% above its 52-week trough. This positions the stock in the middle band of its annual trading range, having recovered significantly from its lows but still well off its highs.

Dividend History and Yield

Garuda Construction has a limited dividend track record. The company declared an interim dividend of ₹0.025 per equity share at its board meeting on February 7, 2025. This remains the only dividend payment recorded in the available history for this stock.

The dividend yield of 0.01% based on the last declared payout is negligible, indicating that income-seeking investors would find limited return from distributions at this stage of the company's growth. No fresh dividend declaration has accompanied the FY26 results announcement as of the time of filing.
