Worst behind for Nykaa? Brokerages see up to 70% rise in stock after three-fold jump in Q2 profit

Nykaa Share Price: Nykaa stocks have made a strong comeback after declining in the past few sessions ahead of the expiry of the one-year lock-in period for its pre-IPO shareholders on November 10. The stock on Friday opened in green but surrendered the gains to trade in negative bias, tracking the overall market sentiment a day after the company posted a multi-fold increase in consolidated net profit in the July-September quarter of the current financial year. 

The stock of FSN E-Commerce Ventures, which operates under the Nykaa brand, opened at Rs 1200 apiece on NSE, gaining 1.50 per cent. It made an intraday high of Rs 1210 but eased the gains quickly due to selling pressure. At 10:40 AM, the stock quoted Rs 1175, down 1 per cent from previous close of Rs 1185.40.

According to a filing on Tuesday, the company posted over 300 per cent jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 5.19 crore for the three months ended September. It had posted a net profit of Rs 1.17 crore in the same period a year ago. The consolidated revenue from operations increased 39 per cent to Rs 1,230.8 crore. In the year-ago period, the same stood at Rs 885.26 crore. The consolidated Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of Nykaa grew 45 per cent year-on-year to Rs 2,345.7 crore.
