Earnings Impact:

Gati shed 0.23% to Rs 42.50 after the company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 62.91 crore in Q4 March 2020 as compared to a net profit of Rs 8.28 crore in Q4 March 2019. Net sales during the quarter fell 19.4% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 370.09 crore. Among segments, 'Express Distribution & Supply Chain' revenues were at Rs 280.72 crore (down 21.3% YoY) while 'Fuel Station' revenues came in at Rs 62.83 crore (down 12.4% YoY) in Q4 FY20.

"The Operating loss for quarter ended March, 2020 and for the Financial year ended March, 2020 in case of the Company is mainly attributable to a drop in cross border E commerce and TV commerce business, coinciding with a shift in domestic E commerce market dynamics with increased price competitiveness due to key customers increasing investment in their own in-house logistics capacity," Gati said in a statement.

Indiabulls Housing Finance rose 0.95% to Rs 233.15, paring early losses. The housing financier reported 86.4% drop in consolidated net profit to Rs 137.06 crore on 32% fall in total income to Rs 2954.20 crore in Q4 March 2020 over Q4 March 2019.

The loan book declined 24% to Rs 69,676 crore in Q4 FY20 from Rs 91,530 crore Q4 FY19, a drop of nearly Rs 22,000 crore.
