On the reaction day the stock moved 6.8 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250 and 8.9 pts more than its Household 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.
For the quarter ended 30 September 2026, total income rose 37.6% to Rs 2,943.39 lakh, while profit after tax jumped 184.3% to Rs 572.64 lakh. Half-year total income was Rs 3,752.26 lakh and profit after tax was Rs 391.14 lakh. Operating cash flow stayed negative at Rs 63.59 lakh. The Board is evaluating revival of the loss-making Lead Acid Battery division, with a decision due in the fourth quarter.
Strong quarterly profit growth helps, but negative half-year cash flow and uncertainty over reviving the loss-making Lead Acid division may cap gains.
