On the reaction day the stock moved 0.8 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.0 pts more than its Residential Commercial Projects peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Arkade approved unaudited results for September 2026. Group Q2 revenue was Rs 14,465.01 lakh, down 44.7% year on year, while profit after tax rose 50.4% to Rs 2,480.55 lakh. Half-year revenue fell 31.1% to Rs 29,162.05 lakh and profit after tax fell 41.1% to Rs 4,388.38 lakh. Auditors raised no concerns. Rs 1.89 crore of project staff costs moved to inventory; earlier differences were immaterial and prior figures were unchanged.
Q2 profit and margins improved despite lower sales, but half-year revenue and profit fell. The shift may support margins without revising figures.
