On Monday, Just Dial reported Q2 FY27 revenue of ₹343 crore, up 13.2% YoY, while its shares climbed 4.45% to ₹745 on the NSE after the announcement.
EBITDA edged higher to ₹91 crore, a 4.5% YoY lift, but the margin contracted to 26.4% from 28.7% in the same quarter last year, signalling tighter operating leverage.
Net profit fell to ₹108 crore, down 9.5% from ₹119.4 crore, driven by higher SG&A and marketing outlays.
Analysts had priced revenue at ₹330 crore and EBITDA at ₹85 crore; the actuals beat those expectations, lifting the stock. The hyper‑local search sector saw mixed results, with rivals like Sulekha posting a 5% revenue decline.
The company reiterated its FY28 guidance, targeting a net profit margin of 15% and an EBITDA margin of 25% by year‑end. Investors are watching for any shift in advertising spend dynamics as the platform seeks to broaden its market share.
