On the reaction day the stock moved 3.7 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 2.8 pts less than its Auto Components & Equipments 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 standalone revenue rose 35% to Rs 1,585.03 crore and net profit rose 92% to Rs 53.41 crore. H1 standalone revenue rose 26% to Rs 2,965.46 crore and net profit rose 67% to Rs 90.45 crore, but operating cash flow was negative Rs 177.35 crore. The board approved Rs 20 crore for a 50:50 commercial vehicle air systems joint venture with Bosch and Brakes India. Prior consolidated figures were restated for the Forge 2000 merger.
Strong sales and profit growth supports the stock, but negative operating cash flow and the Rs 20 crore investment may weigh on cash and execution.
