On the reaction day the stock moved 2.5 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 2.0 pts less than its Pesticides & Agrochemicals 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.
Standalone revenue for the quarter ended September 2026 fell 2.3% year on year to Rs 72.02 crore, and net loss widened 53.2% to Rs 37.40 crore. Sequentially, revenue fell 13.9% and loss nearly doubled from Rs 18.71 crore. For April to September, revenue declined 5.6% to Rs 155.58 crore, though net loss narrowed 2.3% to Rs 56.10 crore. Operating cash flow turned positive, and the auditor found no material issue.
Weaker Q2 sales and a near doubling of loss hurt sentiment. Positive cash flow and a lower half-year loss offer comfort, but recovery remains uncertain.
