The share price of FSN E-Commerce Ventures, the parent of Nykaa, sank nearly 4 percent in the morning trade on February 10 following weak earnings for the quarter ended December.
Nykaa’s consolidated net profit for the reported quarter tanked 59.5 percent on-year to Rs 27.9 crore, however, consolidated revenue jumped 36 percent on-year to Rs 1,098 crore.
The company’s margin performance was disappointing, as it shrank 6.3 percent from 13.2 percent a year ago as marketing expenses skyrocketed.
