Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Consolidated Q2 operating revenue rose 50% to Rs 2,558.59 lakh and net profit rose 62% to Rs 665.30 lakh. For the half year, revenue rose 40% to Rs 4,624.39 lakh and net profit rose 47% to Rs 1,183.69 lakh. Q2 consolidated EBITDA margin improved to 36.0% from 34.4%. However, half-year operating cash flow was negative at Rs 409.17 lakh standalone and Rs 170.73 lakh consolidated. The review found no material misstatement.
Strong earnings growth is positive for the stock, but negative cash flow suggests collection pressure and may weigh on near-term sentiment.
