The company had reported a profit of Rs 6.9 crore in the preceding March 2024 quarter and Rs 3.3 crore in the year-ago quarter.
Here's what analysts expect from Nykaa Q1
JM Financial
We expect overall GMV to grow by 24.6% YoY (3.3% QoQ), with BPC at 24% YoY (8.2% QoQ), Fashion at 16% YoY (-10% QoQ) and Others at 66.4%/6.4% YoY/QoQ.
Growth is lower than the suggested goal during Analyst Day 2024 but that ambition was for the medium-term with Q1 being impacted by elections and heat-wave.
We expect EBITDA margin to marginally improve by 9bps YoY, though a dip of 34bps sequentially. Management’s commentary on industry trends in BPC/Fashion in FY25, competitive landscape and international expansion plan should be keenly watched.
Kotak Equities
We model overall GMV/revenue growth of 30/27% YoY, primarily driven by BPC GMV/revenue growth of 25/23% YoY and fashion business GMV/revenue growth of 35/36% YoY.
