SumanSpeaks Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence · Estd 2006   Reading Beyond the Headline Number SEPC's ₹13 Crore Profit Turned Into an ₹11 Crore Loss. No Cash Went Anywhere. Same company, same quarter, same numbers — a healthy pre-tax profit and a headline net loss, sitting right next to each other. If that looks like a contradiction, it's because you're reading the PAT line and skipping the one line above it that actually explains it. Open Q1FY27 results of   SEPC Ltd (₹6.03)   and you'll see two numbers sitting a few lines apart that seem to argue with each other. Profit Before Tax: a healthy ₹13.17 crore.

It would be of avid interest whether the coercive tantrums of the mills and traders will sustain or at least give a direction to the market.
