On the reaction day the stock moved 5.4 pts less than Nifty Smallcap 250 and 5.2 pts less than its Cables - Electricals 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.
Q2 revenue was Rs 328.40 crore, up 51.8% year on year, and consolidated profit after tax rose 55.3% to Rs 18.06 crore. EBITDA margin improved to about 9.2% from 8.9%. H1 revenue was Rs 645.22 crore and profit Rs 38.58 crore. H1 operating cash flow was negative Rs 28.02 crore. A Rs 1.38 crore labour-code impact was exceptional.
Strong sales and profit growth plus the dividend support sentiment, but negative operating cash flow signals greater working-capital needs.
