On the reaction day the stock moved 8.3 pts less than Nifty Smallcap 250 and 7.1 pts less than its TV Broadcasting & Software Production 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.
Standalone operating revenue rose 12% to Rs 20.64 billion, and profit after tax more than doubled to Rs 2.10 billion, helped by Rs 1.92 billion of dividend income. Half-year profit rose 35% to Rs 2.57 billion, but operating cash outflow widened to Rs 3.23 billion. The review found no material problem but highlighted SEBI probes and JioStar's USD 1.10 billion claim; a Rs 3 million penalty and two-month trading restraint are under appeal.
Profit growth may lift sentiment, but cash outflow, warrant dilution, the SEBI penalty and JioStar's USD 1.10 billion claim keep risks high.
