Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Consolidated Q2 revenue rose 22.6% year on year to Rs 29,736.64 lakh, while profit after tax rose 30.9% to Rs 9,989.60 lakh and EPS was Rs 12.03. Half-year revenue was Rs 57,138.29 lakh and profit after tax was Rs 19,380.61 lakh. The board declared a first interim dividend of Rs 6 per share, totalling Rs 4,981.24 lakh. Auditor reviews were unmodified. Standalone half-year operating cash flow was negative Rs 1,005.41 lakh, while consolidated cash flow was positive.
Higher profit and the dividend may support the stock, but negative standalone operating cash flow remains a concern.
