Arvind Fashions delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹1,365 crore (+14.8% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹189 crore (+19% YoY), with 50bps margin expansion to 13.8%. PAT surged 56% YoY to ₹47 crore. Growth was broad-based: retail LFL of 7.8%, online B2C up 40%+, and D2C share reached 56% (+300bps). USPA led brand performance; Flying Machine rebounded with double-digit LFL and 70% B2C growth. Management guided for mid-double-digit revenue growth in FY27 with another 30-40bps EBITDA margin expansion, supported by D2C mix shift, cost controls, and selective price hikes. Key risk: potential consumption slowdown from inflationary pressures and West Asia tensions, though mitigation actions (early inventory, India sourcing) are in place.
