Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
S Chand reported standalone Q2 revenue of Rs 227.51 million and a pre-tax loss of Rs 199.04 million. H1 standalone revenue fell to Rs 654.37 million from Rs 796.25 million last year, with a post-tax loss of Rs 166.90 million. Consolidated H1 revenue edged up to Rs 1,519.69 million but consolidated loss widened to Rs 676.60 million. The board approved investing up to Rs 12 crores for a potential K-12 international curriculum books acquisition and a corporate guarantee of around SGD 1.53 million for wholly owned subsidiary New Saraswati House. Auditor Walker Chandiok gave an unmodified review opinion.
Sustained losses and negative operating cash flow may weigh on the stock. Acquisition plan shows growth push despite weak near-term numbers.
