Quarter read
What the record says.
Vedant Fashions reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹492 crore with EBITDA margin of 27.4% and PAT of ₹135 crore. Performance was significantly impacted by a calendar shift: only 3 wedding dates in December vs 6 last year, and zero in January vs 11 last year. Management highlighted muted middle-class consumer sentiment as a key headwind, while premium brand 'To' posted 40% growth with 12% SSG. The company continued its strategic focus on retail quality over quantity, closing smaller stores and pausing aggressive expansion. Gross margin compression of ~65.7% was attributed to GST rate hikes (12% to 18%) not fully passed on. Management expects store expansion to normalize in 2-3 quarters. Risk: sustained weak consumer sentiment could delay recovery despite internal initiatives.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated confidence in achieving gross margins above 65% going forward, with GST impact expected to normalize.
- Management expects the current consolidation phase to end in the next 2-3 quarters, after which store additions will resume at a normalized pace.
- Management plans to scale the premium To brand faster in the near future, given its strong performance.
Risks flagged
- Management acknowledged that muted consumer sentiment, especially in the middle class, has been a key drag on performance and may persist.
- Analysts raised concerns about market share loss to competitors like Manyavar and others; management downplayed but noted industry consolidation.
- The GST increase from 12% to 18% on 90% of products compressed gross margins and may affect consumer demand if not fully absorbed.
- Ongoing closure of smaller stores and pause in expansion could limit top-line growth until normalization in 2-3 quarters.
Key quotes
- We did not see any major shift in that consumer sentiment especially in the middle class segment because Manav is catering to the middle class segment.
- Our premium brand To has been doing exceptionally well during Q3 as well as the YTD period... we report 12% SSG growth in Q3 and 16% SSG growth in YTD.
- We feel that the store expansion should start normalizing from next two three quarters.
