Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Paramount Communications reported strong revenue growth for Q4 FY25 at Rs. 5,070 Mn, up 56.8% year-on-year, while full-year FY25 revenue grew 47.2% to Rs. 15,756 Mn from Rs. 10,706 Mn in FY24. EBITDA for FY25 rose 38.2% to Rs. 1,344 Mn, but EBITDA margins compressed to 8.5% from 9.0% in FY24, and more sharply in Q4 to 6.6% from 9.2%. Profit after tax was nearly flat at Rs. 870 Mn in FY25 (up just 1.6%) because the company exhausted its carry-forward tax losses and started paying full taxes from Q2 FY25. Operating cash flow turned strongly positive at Rs. 1,041 Mn versus an outflow of Rs. 1,009 Mn last year. Order book stood at Rs. 6,507 Mn as of March 31, 2025, and management targets 30% revenue CAGR with 40% US export share over five years.
Strong top-line growth and a sharp turnaround in operating cash flow are positives, but shrinking margins and the normalization of taxes have hit bottom-line growth, which may limit near-term upside in the stock. The order book and export-driven growth guidance support the medium-term story, though margin pressure is a key watchpoint for investors.
