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.
Half-year revenue rose 27.3 percent to Rs 253.88 crore, but after-tax loss was Rs 0.15 lakh standalone and Rs 0.37 lakh consolidated. Q2 revenue rose 17.6 percent to Rs 141.97 crore. The EBITDA margin fell to 1.9 percent from 2.7 percent, and operations used Rs 90.63 crore of cash. The auditor qualified the review because evidence for valuing Rs 8.50 crore of investments was insufficient. A rights issue raised Rs 99.70 crore.
Revenue growth helps, but losses, cash use and uncertain Rs 8.50 crore investment value could hurt sentiment. Rights issue dilution is a concern.
