Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Andhra Paper posted a net loss of Rs 20.26 crore in Q2 FY26 versus a profit of Rs 41.72 crore a year ago. Revenue from operations dropped 16 percent to Rs 362.08 crore (Rs 432.28 crore in Q2 FY25). For H1 FY26, revenue rose 1 percent to Rs 755.50 crore, but profit plunged 98 percent to Rs 1.04 crore. The company blames a six-day workers strike and a 14-day planned annual outage at its Rajahmundry plant in July 2025. Auditor MSKA & Associates issued an unmodified limited review report.
Sharp profit decline and a swing to quarterly loss. Watch for margin recovery once plant operations fully normalise.
