On the reaction day the stock moved in line with Nifty Microcap 250 and 3.6 pts less than its Media & Entertainment 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.
Unaudited Q2 consolidated revenue rose 9.4% year on year to Rs 544.67 crore; net profit rose 28.4% to Rs 52.96 crore. Operating margin fell to 23.11% from 24.13%. Half-year revenue rose 9.9% to Rs 1,060.93 crore, but profit before tax and one-off items fell 62.7% to Rs 14.72 crore. Half-year profit was Rs 14.60 crore versus Rs 190.10 crore; last year had one-off gains of Rs 150.64 crore. Cash from operations was Rs 119.52 crore.
Q2 profit growth and operating cash flow are positive, but weaker half-year profit and group margin may cap upside.
