On the reaction day the stock moved 0.2 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 0.3 pts more than its Household Appliances 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 14% to Rs 1,512.54 crore, but PBDIT fell 11.3% to Rs 90.92 crore and margin slipped to 6.01% from 7.73% on high material costs and adverse forex. PAT fell 20.5% to Rs 39.56 crore; half-year revenue grew 15.3% and PAT 3.3%. Engineering sales rose 24%, with Rs 220 crore of orders and Rs 274 crore of quotations pending. Commercial appliances target 3 times revenue in three years. Net cash was Rs 342.66 crore.
Revenue growth is offset by margin pressure from costs and forex. Engineering orders and net cash offer support, but profit growth looks weak.
