On the reaction day the stock moved 2.1 pts more than Nifty Microcap 250, 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.
Q2 FY26 revenue rose 13.6% year on year to Rs 83.52 crore, while profit after tax jumped 90.6% to Rs 7.91 crore. Operating profit before depreciation, interest and tax rose to Rs 9.2 crore, with margin at 11.1%. For H1, revenue fell 2.1% to Rs 140.75 crore, profit after tax declined 70.7% to Rs 2.40 crore and operating cash flow was negative Rs 5.43 crore. A Rs 5.01 crore provident fund claim is under appeal with no provision booked.
Strong Q2 may support sentiment, but weak H1 profit, negative operating cash flow and the provident fund claim keep near-term risks elevated.
