GTPL Hathway Ltd shares rose up to 17% on January 9 to trade at Rs 158 apiece ahead of the company's December quarter results.
The gain in shares ahead of anticipation of its Q3 earnings, to be revealed on Thursday, after its Q2 performance reflected mixed investor sentiments.
GTPL Hathway reported a significant decline in net profit during the second quarter of the current fiscal year. Net profit plummeted by 61.8 percent year-on-year to Rs 13.7 crore, compared to Rs 35.9 crore in the same period last year. Despite this decline, the company demonstrated positive revenue growth, with revenue increasing by 9.8 percent year-on-year to reach Rs 856 crore in Q2. This growth was fueled by a continued expansion of the subscriber base, which reached 9.5 million active subscribers and 8.8 million paying subscribers at the end of the quarter.

Their cable TV offerings encompass standard definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) channels, as well as innovative hybrid services that seamlessly integrate traditional cable TV with over-the-top (OTT) platforms.
