On the reaction day the stock moved 3.0 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 2.6 pts less than its Garments & Apparels 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.
Standalone Q2 revenue dropped to Rs 120 cr from Rs 197 cr YoY, with net profit at Rs 10.87 cr versus Rs 26.05 cr. A Rs 17.50 cr provision write-back on Kitex USA receivables was booked as exceptional income. Consolidated Q2 swung to a Rs 6.22 cr loss from profit last year. Auditor qualified the Rs 27.76 cr Kitex USA LLC investment, noting fully eroded net worth and lack of supporting evidence.
Sharp revenue decline, margin compression, and audit qualification on US associate raise concerns despite one-time exceptional write-back.
