Paytm: What the Brokerage Expects in Q2 Results Today
| Q2 results today: Paytm metric (BofA estimate) | Estimate | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Rs 2,641 crore | Up 28% year on year, 8% on the quarter |
| EBITDA | Rs 263 crore | Up 86% year on year; margin about 10% |
| Net profit | Rs 271 crore | Up 76% year on year, 23% on the quarter |
BofA’s estimates are from a preview dated 6 Oct and the brokerage rates the stock Buy. The data provider shows Paytm at a trailing price to earnings of 159.45 against an industry level of 116.28, a price to book of 6.46 and a return on equity of 4.55%. So expectations for Q2 results today are high, and a result below the estimate could hurt the stock even if profit grows.
Paytm’s Q1 net profit jumped 79%, according to Business Today, so investors will want to see whether the profit growth continues, whether lending revenue scales and whether margins improve as the brokerage expects.
REC, Tata Consumer, Mankind Pharma and ITC Hotels: What to Watch
| Q2 results today: company | Valuation (data provider, trailing) | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| REC | Price to earnings 4.82 against 16.20; return on equity 19.17%; dividend yield 6.32%; debt to equity 6.05 | Second interim dividend decision; loan growth and asset quality |
| Tata Consumer Products | Price to earnings 57.87 against 32.65; return on equity 7.08% | Volume growth in tea and salt; margins; stock down 3.38% early |
| Mankind Pharma | Price to earnings 44.29 against 35.66; return on equity 11.74% | Domestic growth and margins; trailing RSI is near 28, an oversold zone |
| ITC Hotels | Price to earnings 37.46 against 37.06; return on equity 7.01% | Occupancy and room rates in the festive quarter |
| Ather Energy | Loss-making; trailing earnings per share minus 9.83 | Losses, volumes and cash burn |
For Q2 results today, REC’s board meeting on 26 Oct is to review results for the quarter and half year ended 30 Sep 2026 and to decide on a second interim dividend, if any, according to PSU Connect. As the debt to equity of 6.05 shows, REC is a high-debt lender by design, so asset quality matters more than headline profit. For readers who follow dividends, a final decision will come with the filing.
Ahead of Q2 results today, Tata Consumer’s early fall of 3.38% shows that investors are cautious before the result. Its valuation is far above the industry level, which means a miss can be punished.

Earnings Season Context for Q2 Results Today
Q2 results today sit in the busiest stretch of the earnings season, when large and mid-sized companies report within days of each other. For investors, the Q2 results schedule matters because many boards announce dividends and buybacks on the same day as numbers. A packed Q2 results schedule also means that the market digests results in batches, and stocks can move on sector read-across, such as banks reacting to Kotak or IT names reacting to Infosys.
The REC dividend is one such item. The REC dividend decision is due with the results, and the REC dividend history, which gave a trailing yield of 6.32%, explains why income-focused investors watch the filing. Please remember that the REC dividend, if declared, will have its own record date, and payouts can differ from one declaration to the next.
Paytm Q2 results are the other focus. The Paytm Q2 results will show whether payments and lending revenue grow as the brokerage expects, and the Paytm Q2 results will be read together with the merchant discount rate change effective 15 Oct, which BofA sees as positive. Q2 results today for Paytm also include commentary on lending growth and costs.
A third point about the Q2 results schedule is that timing differs by company. Some boards meet in the morning and others after market hours, so a stock that looks quiet during the day can gap on the next session. Q2 results today are therefore best tracked through exchange filings, and the price moves quoted here are only early readings.
How to Read Q2 Results Today
- Compare year on year and quarter on quarter. BPCL’s profit rose on the quarter but fell on the year.
- Look at operating profit in Q2 results today. Net profit can include one-off items, such as one-off gains or fair-value changes.
- Check guidance in Q2 results today. Infosys cut and Coforge raised its outlook, and these drive the next quarters.
- Compare Q2 results today with estimates. Coforge’s profit rose 56.5%, so compare each number with analyst estimates published after the result.
- Respect valuation during the earnings season. A stock with a price to earnings of 57.87 needs strong numbers to hold its price.
