On the reaction day the stock moved 3.6 pts less than Nifty Smallcap 250 and 3.6 pts less than its Power 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.
CESC Limited reported Q1 FY26 results with standalone revenue from operations at Rs 2,862 crore, broadly flat versus Rs 2,860 crore in Q1 FY25. Standalone profit after tax rose about 10% YoY to Rs 211 crore, lifting basic EPS to Rs 1.59 from Rs 1.45. On a consolidated basis, revenue grew around 7% YoY to Rs 5,202 crore and PAT came in at Rs 404 crore (EPS Rs 2.92 versus Rs 2.85), helped by Rs 228 crore of net regulatory income. The statutory auditor S.R. Batliboi & Co. issued a clean limited review report with no qualifications or emphasis of matter. The company also flagged the recent Rs 871 crore acquisition of Chandigarh Power Distribution, while debt-equity ratio stood at 1.1, slightly above the prior year's 1.0.
Earnings are steady but not exciting, with consolidated PAT growth of only about 4% YoY and core operating margins (excluding regulatory income) showing modest pressure. Shareholders should track outcomes of pending WBERC and UPERC tariff appeals at APTEL, as these could materially swing future regulatory income and profitability.
