The full read

Benares Hotels delivered a 35% revenue jump in the June quarter to ₹33.89 crore, a strong rebound after a trailing period of declining revenue. Profit after tax rose to ₹8.25 crore, up 9% -- solid, but well behind the top-line surge. The board quickly filled the CFO vacancy with Thomas Kunjukunju, effective July 14, after the May resignation. The company is debt-free with a trailing ROE of 20.3% and a market cap of ₹1,356 crore. But profit growth lagged. This is a solid earnings release, not an exceptional one: backward-looking numbers and moderate profit expansion keep it from being a game-changer.
