DB Corp Q2 Profit Declines Amid Revenue Drop and Festival Timing Shift
DB Corp Ltd reported a 26.5% decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 69 crore for Q2 FY27, with revenue falling between 3.3% and 5.5% to approximately Rs 580-614 crore. The company attributed the revenue drop mainly to a shift in the Navratri festival from Q2 to Q3, affecting advertising and circulation income. Expenses rose by about 2.5-4.9%, pressuring earnings. Despite this, digital readership expanded significantly, with monthly active users reaching nearly 18 million by August 2026.
