What happened

Nykaa reported that revenue grew 28% in Q2 and operating earnings before certain costs grew 65%. It also reported better profit per sale in Beauty and Fashion, and said Fashion had its third consecutive profitable quarter. First-half return on capital employed was 27.3%.

Global impact / market context

The results show stronger sales and operating earnings, while better profit per sale may mean more of each sale is being kept as profit. Fashion’s continued profitability is a positive sign, though festive stock is still expected to return to normal by the end of Q3.

What to watch

  1. Check whether revenue continues to grow, since the reported Q2 increase was 28%.
  2. Check whether profit per sale keeps improving in Beauty and Fashion, as this shows whether sales are becoming more profitable.
  3. Check whether festive inventory returns to normal by the end of Q3, as the company expects. This shows whether the temporary stock buildup is easing.
