ONGC is set to announce its results for the June quarter on August 5.
What Happened: The oil major in an exchange filing said its board will meet on August 5, Monday to approve the financial results for the quarter that ended on June 30, 2024.

Despite this, analysts are bullish on the long-term prospects of the stock due to demand for oil.
