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.
Consolidated quarter revenue rose 9.4% to Rs 544.67 crore and profit after tax rose 28.4% to Rs 52.96 crore, but operating margin slipped to 23.11% from 24.13%. Half-year revenue rose 9.9% to Rs 1,060.93 crore, while profit fell to Rs 14.60 crore from Rs 190.10 crore as last year included a Rs 150.64 crore exceptional gain. Standalone half-year loss was Rs 140.84 crore; operating cash flow was positive at Rs 119.52 crore. Review clean.
Quarter profit growth and positive cash flow help, but lower margin, weaker half-year profit and standalone losses leave near-term stock outlook mixed.
