On the reaction day the stock moved 1.6 pts more than Nifty Smallcap 250 and 2.3 pts more than its Specialty Chemicals 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.
Q2 FY27 revenue rose 61% year on year to 3,091 crore; earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation were a record 643 crore at a 21% margin, and profit after tax was 398 crore. H1 profit after tax rose 221% to 743 crore. Management targets FY28 operating profit of 400-420 crore and a 14-15% margin in Advanced Intermediates. Orders are accelerating; planned spending is 2,200-2,400 crore in FY28 and 2,500 crore in FY29.
Record profits and faster orders are positive, but margin gains depend on plant ramp-ups; high capex and feedstock volatility may pressure cash flow.
