AI summary

CESC's unaudited consolidated Q2 FY26 revenue was Rs 5,267 crore, up 12 percent from Rs 4,700 crore, and net profit was Rs 445 crore, up 19 percent from Rs 373 crore. For six months, revenue was Rs 10,469 crore and net profit Rs 849 crore. Quarter earnings per share were Rs 3.21 and six-month operating cash flow was Rs 1,585 crore. A Rs 6 interim dividend was declared. Power purchases from a subsidiary and tariff cases are under appeal.

Likely market impact

Profit growth, cash flow and Rs 6 dividend may support sentiment, but profit growth was below 25 percent and tariff disputes could affect earnings.
