On the reaction day the stock moved 4.7 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250, 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.
Quarter revenue was Rs 141.97 crore, up 17.7% year on year, while half-year revenue rose 27.3% to Rs 253.88 crore. Consolidated profit was a loss of Rs 2.26 lakh for the quarter and Rs 0.37 lakh for the half year, versus profits of Rs 108.97 lakh and Rs 163.45 lakh. Operating cash outflow reached Rs 90.63 crore. The auditor could not verify the fair value of Rs 8.50 crore of investments, so its review conclusion was qualified.
Revenue growth helps, but a near-breakeven loss, qualified review and heavy cash burn may pressure the stock. The rights issue increased share count.
