On the reaction day the stock moved 0.6 pts more than Nifty Smallcap 250 and 0.5 pts less than its Cement & Cement Products 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.
For the unaudited September quarter, consolidated revenue was Rs 2,789.97 crore, up 13.5 percent year on year, and profit after tax rose 77.9 percent to Rs 64.79 crore. EPS was Rs 1.81. In April to September, revenue reached Rs 5,918.68 crore, up 11.0 percent, while profit rose 32.3 percent to Rs 224.42 crore. Half-year operating cash flow was Rs 533.56 crore. The margin before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation narrowed slightly.
Strong profit growth and positive cash flow are supportive, but modest sales growth and slightly lower margins may temper the stock response.
