Tata Teleservices Q2 Results: Loss Narrows Sharply, But Shares Crash 11% After Earnings Announcement

Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) reported a narrower net loss for the September quarter of financial year 2026-27 (Q2FY27), with revenue increasing and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improving year-on-year. However, shares plunged nearly 11% on 23 October after a sharp rally in the previous session, as profit-booking reversed the post-results gains.
Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) reported a net loss of ₹59.20 crore for the September quarter, compared with ₹320.82 crore in the corresponding period last year. The improvement came alongside higher revenue and stronger operating earnings, although the company continued to report a loss.
Revenue from operations and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) both improved year-on-year. However, the stock's initial gains proved short-lived. Shares rallied after the results announcement on 22 October but reversed sharply in the following session as investors booked profits.
