On the reaction day the stock moved 1.3 pts more than its Dyes And Pigments 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 FY27 consolidated revenue and EBITDA rose 22% and 39% year on year to Rs 868 crore and Rs 126 crore; margin improved to 14.5%. Demand remained muted, with pressure on volumes and margins expected in the near term. The acquired group's FY27 guidance was reaffirmed at about EUR 700 million sales and EUR 35 million EBITDA. The EUR 75.8 million VP4 sale closed; proceeds will prepay acquisition debt and bring the group closer to net debt zero.
Profit growth and debt reduction support the stock, but muted demand and near-term margin pressure may cap gains; guidance was maintained, not raised.
