What the record says.
Shoppers Stop delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with departmental store LFL growth of 4.6%, driven by premiumization and a 3.2% increase in customer entries. The beauty segment grew 17% YoY, led by fragrances (+37%) and the distribution business (SSB) surging 69% YoY. Intune revenue rose 24% YoY to ₹67 crore, with improving unit economics. Management guided for nine new departmental stores in FY27, renovation of five marquee stores, and halving Intune losses. Core departmental store EBITDA grew 52% YoY to ₹50 crore. Key risks include fuel/raw material inflation impacting demand and supply chain disruptions in H2. The company targets debt-free status by Q4 FY27 and expects continued LFL momentum.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Planned addition of nine premium departmental stores, all in marquee locations, expected to generate ₹45-50 crore each over 2-3 years.
- Management expects Intune EBITDA loss to be cut to half of FY26 loss, with break-even at business level targeted by FY28.
- Company aims to be debt-free by the end of FY27, supported by strong operating cash flow and working capital optimization.
- Five large stores will be renovated with new premium identity, expected to boost sales productivity by 35-40% based on past experience.
Risks flagged
- Rising fuel and raw material costs may impact consumer demand in the short term, though premium positioning provides some insulation.
- Global supply chain uncertainties could cause intermittent merchandise availability, particularly in the second half of FY27.
- Analyst raised concern that pausing Intune store expansion may allow competitors to gain market share; management acknowledged but prioritized unit economics.
- Gross margin declined 100 bps in Q4 due to one-off provision reversals in the base; underlying operational margins improved 50 bps.
Key quotes
- We have become the first port of call for almost any premium brand coming to India and we are using this strength to work with strategic partners to drive business.
- The departmental store business crossed 5,000 crores revenue for the first time which is a big milestone for us.
- We will be debt-free by Q4 FY27 which I think would be a major blessing for us over the last two years.
