What the record says.
Baazar Style Retail delivered a stellar Q2 FY26 with revenue surging 71% YoY to ₹532 crore and EBITDA jumping 184% YoY to ₹69 crore, driven by early festival demand and strong execution. Same-store sales growth of 22% and private label contribution reaching 58% underscore operational momentum. Management revised FY26 revenue guidance upward to 25-30% YoY, while maintaining pre-Ind-AS EBITDA margin guidance of 7-8% and PAT margin of 3-4%. A one-time exceptional gain of ₹55 crore from lease reassessment boosted reported profits. Key risks include geographic concentration in eastern India causing quarterly volatility and potential winter demand unpredictability. The company remains on track to open 40-50 stores this year, with a long-term aspiration of 25% annual revenue growth.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management raised FY26 revenue growth guidance from 21-30% to 25-30% YoY, citing strong H1 performance.
- Pre-Ind-AS EBITDA margin for FY26 is guided at 7-8%, reflecting operational discipline.
- Pre-Ind-AS PAT margin for FY26 is guided at 3-4%, excluding exceptional gains.
- Management reiterated plans to open 40-50 new stores in FY26, with 36 already added in H1.
Risks flagged
- High dependence on West Bengal and Assam leads to quarterly revenue volatility due to festival timing shifts.
- Winter sales, a key driver for Q3, are weather-dependent and could be impacted by unseasonal climate changes.
- Analysts flagged that the 30% full-year guidance implies H2 growth of only ~10-11%, raising concerns about sustainability.
- The ₹55 crore exceptional gain from lease reassessment is non-recurring, and reported PAT may appear inflated.
Key quotes
- Our differentiated value proposition, discipline expansion model, accelerating retail transformation and strong operating leverage — we are building a future ready scalable and profitable retail business.
- We have taken a conservative approach towards the revenue. We target more but try to achieve the numbers that we say.
- The idea is to reach 65% of revenue by FY27 through private label sales.
