On the reaction day the stock moved 1.1 pts less than Nifty 100 and 0.3 pts more than its Paints 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.
The board approved Q2 FY27 results. Consolidated sales rose 16.9% to Rs 9,953.9 crore, but the operating profit margin fell 202 basis points to 15.6%; profit attributable to shareholders rose 7.5% to Rs 1,067.6 crore. Standalone Q2 profit rose 14.6%. H1 standalone profit rose 25.1% to Rs 2,573.9 crore and its operating margin rose to 19.6%. Dividend: Rs 5.75 per share, payable from November 13.
Growth supports the stock, but Q2 margin compression from raw-material inflation may weigh on sentiment; the interim dividend offers support.
