Leap India Q2 FY27 Results (NSE: LEAPIND)
Signal: Steady quarter
The read
The operating trajectory remains positive but the quarter marks a quality caveat: consolidated revenue grew 18.2% YoY and EBITDA grew 16.1% to ₹1,050.06 million, while margin slipped 1.5pp QoQ to 49.7%; PAT growth to ₹178.04 million was boosted by the low base and lower finance costs, but the ₹68.49 million exceptional charge and IPO-driven EPS dilution make per-share progression materially weaker.
