Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Q2 consolidated revenue rose 12.2% to INR730 crore. Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation grew 15.9% to INR198 crore, lifting its margin to 27.1% from 26.2%. Profit after tax rose 11% to INR77 crore; margin stayed at 10.6%. First-half gross margin improved to 58.4% from 57.3%. Network reached 1,053 stores after 21 net additions. Management expects a stronger H2 and targets a 13% to 15% medium-term profit margin.
Strong sales and higher operating margin are positive, but higher staff and occupancy costs and delayed FILA expansion may limit near-term gains.
