A 60% Q4 revenue jump and a 50% two-year growth target frame an aggressive plan. A May demand slowdown is the first headwind to watch.

₹797 cr / quarter Q4 revenue, up 60% year-on-year.

What's new

  • Q4 revenue rose 60% to ₹797 cr; full-year EBITDA climbed 77% to ₹455 cr.
  • FY27 plan: 170-200 new stores, on top of 325 at the end of FY26.
  • Management cited a mild May demand slowdown linked to geopolitical tensions.

Why this matters

The retailer is pressing the accelerator at a time when many are tapping the brakes. New stores are hitting ₹750 per square foot from day one, giving the company a runway to sustain 50% top-line growth. The May soft patch is the first real test of that expansion thesis.

What we're watching

  • Whether the May slowdown extends into the June quarter.
  • Execution against the 170-200 store target.
  • How raw-material cost inflation affects the 28-30% gross-margin band.

The full read

V2 Retail's Q4 was strong. Revenue hit ₹797 crore, up 60%. Full-year EBITDA reached ₹455 crore, a 77% jump. The company ended FY26 with 325 stores and now plans to open 170-200 more this year. Management is sticking to its 50% two-year revenue target. New stores are hitting ₹750 per square foot immediately. The plan is aggressive, but the first warning light has appeared: management cited a mild May demand slowdown linked to geopolitical tensions. The open question is whether that softness persists and how V2's pricing power holds as it passes raw-material costs to customers.
