Just Dial shares dipped 8 per cent since the morning of 17th August, owing to the local search firm's disappointing quarterly numbers. Just Dial disclosed a net profit of Rs 38.9 crore on sales of Rs 176.29 crore in the June quarter. The company, which had disclosed sales of Rs 179 crore in the March quarter, posted its first ever sequential decline in revenue. The revenue hit was because of aggressive discounts to bag more business.
Paid listings form the core of Just Dial's operations, but they have come under pressure for the last few quarters due to the tough competition from the renowned companies such as Zomato and Practo. Consequently, Just Dial has lost market share in sectors including food orders and doctor appointments over the last few months. The company further added a 6 per cent fall in average realization per campaign throughout the June quarter. Its lowest ever margin in the June quarter was caused by higher employee expenses. The company had previously announced that it was going to recruit more sales people to drive business.
As of 11.42 a.m., Just Dial shares traded 3 per cent lower at Rs470.30, opened at Rs. 479.00 against its previous closing at Rs. 485.65.
