On the reaction day the stock moved 5.7 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 5.5 pts less than its Paper & Paper 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.
September quarter revenue fell 6.9% to Rs 20,714 lakh, from Rs 22,247 lakh a year ago. Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation fell 38.1% to Rs 2,727 lakh; its margin narrowed to 13.2% from 19.8%. Profit after tax dropped 43.1% to Rs 1,692 lakh. First-half revenue fell 5.1% and profit after tax fell 7.3%. Board appointed Shailaja Nair as an independent director for five years, subject to shareholder approval.
Weaker revenue, margins and a 43% quarterly profit fall may pressure the share price. The director appointment offers limited near-term support.
