Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
REC's consolidated profit after tax for the September 2026 quarter fell to Rs 3,477.73 crore from Rs 4,414.93 crore. Half-year profit after tax was Rs 7,670.49 crore versus Rs 8,880.64 crore, while revenue was Rs 29,435.32 crore versus Rs 29,969.26 crore. Operating cash outflow was Rs 17,410.50 crore. A Rs 3.50 interim dividend was declared. REC's merger into Power Finance Corporation has RBI and exchange clearances but awaits approvals.
Lower profit may weigh on the stock, while dividend and merger progress support interest. Cash outflow reflects loan growth; approval risks remain.
