On the reaction day the stock moved 2.8 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 2.5 pts less than its Other Bank 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.
Equitas Small Finance Bank reported Q2 FY26 net profit of Rs 24.14 crore against a loss of Rs 223.76 crore a year ago as provisions fell to Rs 207 crore from Rs 612 crore. Half-year profit was Rs 12.88 crore versus a Rs 199.63 crore loss, though Q2 total income fell 7.6% to Rs 1,794 crore. Gross NPA was flat at 2.92%, capital adequacy rose to 20.74%. Half-year operating cash flow was negative Rs 394 crore. Review report unmodified.
Turnaround from last year's loss supports sentiment, but lower Q2 income and negative operating cash flow are concerns.
