AI summary

The board approved unaudited standalone results for Q2 and H1 FY26. Q2 revenue was INR 4,879 million, down 0.4 percent year on year, while profit after tax fell 16.9 percent to INR 566 million. EBITDA excluding other income declined 3.6 percent to INR 671 million; its margin narrowed to 13.8 percent from 14.2 percent. H1 revenue rose 2.2 percent, but profit after tax fell 10.3 percent.

Likely market impact

Lower Q2 profit and narrower margins may weigh on stock sentiment, although H1 revenue growth and progress on newer brands provide some support.
