Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Hathway Cable & Datacom posted Q2 FY27 consolidated revenue of Rs 567.51 Cr, up 5.7% YoY. However, net profit fell 44% to Rs 10.16 Cr due to a sharp rise in pay channel costs. Half-year PAT dropped 29.5% to Rs 34.72 Cr. Cable TV segment turned negative. DOT license fee demand of Rs 3,201.93 Cr remains a key overhang; company contests it. Joint auditors gave an unmodified review.
Profitability hit despite revenue growth as content costs surged; large pending DOT demand continues to weigh on sentiment.
