 "Symphony turns volatile post June quarter results")

Meanwhile, the stock has dipped almost 11% to Rs 1,649 after the company reported a 32% year-on-year (YoY) decline in its standalone net profit at Rs 22.26 crore for the quarter ended June 2015, due to lower sales.
The company, which is engaged in the home appliances business, had registered a profit of Rs 32.73 crore in the year-ago quarter. It had posted a profit of Rs 36.51 crore in the March quarter.
The company's net sales decreased by 18% at Rs 124 crore on a Y-o-Y basis.
