Stocks In News: Tata Communications, Federal Bank And More

Tata Communications

Tata Communications, the digital ecosystem enabler, experienced a 29.8% year-on-year decline in profit, amounting to Rs 381.7 crore for the quarter ending in June FY24. This drop was primarily attributed to a weak operating margin, lower other income, and higher finance cost. Despite the challenging profit figures, the company’s revenue from operations showed a positive trend, increasing by 10.7% YoY to reach Rs 4,771.4 crore for the quarter. On the operating front, EBITDA also experienced a decrease of 4.9%, amounting to Rs 1,024 crore compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the operating margin contracted by 350 basis points YoY during the quarter.

Finolex Industries

Finolex Industries, a manufacturer of PVC pipes and fittings, achieved a 16.2% year-on-year growth in profit, reaching Rs 115.3 crore for the quarter ending in June FY24.

On the positive side, the operating front saw a significant increase in EBITDA, which jumped 21.1% YoY to Rs 152.5 crore, resulting in a margin expansion of 230 basis points due to a sharp fall in input costs.
