  • Quarterly Quotes
    February 2021 Compendium of conference calls: Q3FY21 Quarterly Quotes Headwinds galore On a firm footing to Debt ride the trend woes Challenges ahead Policy push Growth levers in place Demand swing Consolidation Debt to be wave f rolled over Rising ad spends Costs in control cus Edelweiss Research Team +91 22 2286 4400 Edelweiss Securities Limited research@edelweissfin.com Q3FY21 conference call highlights Dear Investor and Corporate, Quarterly numbers matter; they lend a quantitative as well as qualitative sheen to what has been (Q3FY21 review). But management quotes go far beyond plain-vanilla numbers: they offer deeper insights into what individual companies are doing, how they are thinking and how market participants are perceiving them. That one can benchmark them to industry peers or their previous observations and/or collate them by sector extends their relevance well beyond the results or near-term influences. Management quotes are, hence, far more significant and relevant than mere numbers for the market. Ongoing management commentaries also entail links and threads to a bigger picture as to what’s happening—not only at individual companies, but also in the sector and markets. Besides, they contain a key element of guidance, helping investors identify winning ideas and shed potential losers. So, more than the numbers, it’s the linkage across numbers that’s of bigger import. We try to tie the threads via links to previous quarters (Q2FY21; Q1FY21 was not published in the wake of covid-19). Q3FY21 results were eagerly awaited. Investors were keeping an eye out for corporate India’s resurgence from the chaos caused by covid-19, particularly since Q2FY21 was more about the nature and extent of recovery after the lockdown in Q1FY21.
