PREFACE

Dear Readers,

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” - Benjamin Franklin

Investment decisions are critical to the financial health of every individual and
prudent investment decision-making requires access to noise-free, relevant
information as well as staying immune from cognitive and emotional biases. The
VINIT PAGARIA investment decisions should be made on the basis of performance and potential
(ACA, CFA, FRM) of a business instead of merely being a function of the ‘stock price’.

HEAD – DATA & RESEARCH


We are pleased to bring to you a compilation of quarterly earnings' calls of most
of the major companies in India conducting such calls. This document contains
conference call summaries for the earnings quarter Oct to Dec 2020 of the
companies, segregated based on the sectors they belong to. The earnings call
summaries are offered on a real-time basis to StockEdge premium subscribers.

An earnings call is a teleconference, or webcast, between the management of a


public company, analysts and the investors to discuss the company’s financial
results during a given reporting period, such as a quarter or a fiscal year.

It is of pivotal importance to track the performance of a company. The earnings


call summary empowers one to be informed about the management outlook,
business progress, planned expansions and new opportunities. It also serves as
a means to evaluate the underlying sentiment.

Concall analysis is a part of Edge Reports which also include Case studies on
investible companies, IPO Notes and Infographics. The purpose of Edge Reports
is to provide actionable insights through easy-to-understand, yet
comprehensive analysis to assist users in taking informed decision. To
