Shares of Epack Durables Ltd surged over 8% on Friday after it registered a return to profit in the third quarter.
The home appliance manufacturer reported a net profit Rs 4.89 crore in quarter ended December, compared with a loss of Rs 6.24 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year, according to an exchange filing.
Improvement in the operating efficiency led to a surge in the Epack Durables' Ebitda, subsequently aiding profit despite lackluster growth in revenue.
