On the reaction day the stock moved 1.0 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 0.8 pts less than its Iron & Steel Products 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 revenue fell to Rs 1,395.79 cr from Rs 1,827.80 cr YoY; PAT halved to Rs 78.29 cr from Rs 155.20 cr. H1 PAT at Rs 167.37 cr versus Rs 381.24 cr. Operating margin compressed to 10.45% from 13.87%. Auditor Lodha and Co gave a qualified conclusion on coal block and ESL Steel matters. Board cleared 70% in Omani Arabian Water Tech; noted TIS Italy acquisition completion.
Profit decline and margin pressure are negatives. TIS Italy deal expands global presence. Coal block and ESL Steel matters remain qualified.
