Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
The board approved audited September quarter results. Consolidated revenue rose 5.1% year on year to Rs139.95 billion, but profit attributable to owners fell 4.4% to Rs11.95 billion; EPS was Rs13.48. Half-year revenue was Rs273.46 billion and profit Rs23.35 billion. The unmodified audit report highlights Rs12.30 billion of legacy Satyam claims. An interim dividend of Rs15 per share, 300% of face value, was declared; record date is October 21.
Revenue grew, but quarterly profit and EPS fell. The 300% interim dividend supports returns, while legacy Satyam claims remain a risk.
