On the reaction day the stock moved 3.1 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 2.4 pts less than its Pharmaceuticals 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 unaudited results. Quarter revenue rose 13% to Rs 147.01 crore and profit after tax was about Rs 11.1 crore, up about 17%. For the half year, revenue increased 45% to Rs 296.75 crore and profit after tax rose 31% to Rs 22.04 crore. Operating cash flow was positive at Rs 50.19 crore. The half-year margin before depreciation and financing fell from 25.8% to 18.2%.
Half-year growth and strong cash generation support sentiment, but the lower margin may limit the stock's upside.
