The full read
Nykaa just warned the market that Q1 will be its best growth in several quarters. The voluntary update puts consolidated revenue growth near 30%, significantly ahead of FY26's 26% full-year pace. The star is fashion, where NSV is expected to surge in the mid-50s percent range, more than double the company's growth rate. This isn't an accident: the Nike partnership (inked last month) and a broader assortment refresh are finally moving the needle. Beauty hangs in the late twenties, driven by own brands like Kay Beauty and Dot & Key that carry higher margins. The stock popped on the news, but the real test is whether this growth rate is sustainable — and whether it passes audit scrutiny. For a company with a trailing P/E of 432x, any acceleration directly influences valuation. This update gives it a shot.
