Price around the results
Margin leads the reported peer set
NRB Bearings' consolidated operating margin was 17.23%, placing it 4.12 percentage points above the 13.11% median among 122 Consumer Discretionary companies that have reported. This is the clearest relative strength in the quarter, although there is no year-on-year or sequential comparison in the reported data.
Operating profit remained the cleaner earnings measure
Operating profit of Rs 63.66 cr was followed by Rs 18.35 cr of depreciation and Rs 2.01 cr of interest before profit before tax of Rs 51.42 cr. Other income contributed Rs 8.12 cr, so the Rs 37.76 cr net profit should be read alongside the company's operating profit rather than on net profit alone. The reported tax rate was 26.57%.
