Bata India Ltd soared 5 per cent to its fresh 52-week high of Rs 1754.80 on the BSE in an intra-day session on Thursday following the footwear maker’s June quarter results. Bata India on Wednesday, post-market hours, reported a narrowing of loss to Rs 69.5 crore in the April-June quarter (Q1) compared with Rs 101 crore net loss in the corresponding quarter last year.
The firm’s operating revenue grew 98 per cent to Rs 267 crore on a low base of Rs 135 crore that it had reported in the year-ago period. However, Bata’s toppling and bottom line suffered significantly when compared to the previous quarter. While its operating revenue plunged 55 per cent from Rs 590 crore that it had posted in the March quarter, its bottom line went into the red from Rs 30 crore it had reported in the previous quarter.
During the quarter, its cost of materials consumed jumped 189 times to Rs 33.2 crore but a deduction due to its inventory positions kept losses in control.
