  "account": "Shares of e-commerce giant Nykaa experienced a significant 6.1% rise, reaching an intraday peak of ₹342.95 on the BSE following a strong performance outlined in its Q2 FY27 results. As of 10:40 IST, the stock had climbed 4.4% to ₹337.55, prompting some investors to take profits. By this price point, Nykaa's market capitalization reached ₹96,684.2 Cr, equivalent to approximately $10 billion. The surge stemmed from the company's confident outlook, highlighted in an exchange filing. Nykaa anticipates high twenties growth in its consolidated gross merchandise value (GMV) and net sales value (NSV) for Q2 FY27, with its overall net revenue growth projected in the late twenties. Both its beauty and fashion segments are expected to contribute to this expansion, with the beauty vertical specifically expected to see NSV and net revenue growth in the late twenties during the quarter. The company's omnichannel strategy continues to flourish, buoyed by new customer acquisitions and repeat purchases. Nykaa expanded its physical footprint by opening 14 new stores, raising its total count to 338 as of September 30, 2026. Like-for-like store sales are expected to grow in the early twenties for Q2 FY27, marking the strongest performance in the past six quarters. Nykaa's House of Nykaa brands outpaced the broader beauty sector, with both core and newer brands thriving. In the fashion domain, NSV is forecasted to grow in the late forties, while net revenue is projected to rise in the early forties for Q2 FY27. The platform added over 250 new brands across categories during the quarter, broadening its product offerings. Customer additions remained robust, and the company's partnership with Nike yielded promising early results through exclusive product launches. Nykaa noted a shift in festive demand from Q2 to Q3, given that a larger portion of the holiday season now falls in the December quarter. Despite this adjustment, the company remains optimistic about its growth trajectory and long-term prospects. Nykaa announced in August the acquisition of a 51% stake in D2C skincare brand Aminu Wellness for up to ₹32 Cr, with the transaction finalized in September. Aminu’s founders remain at the helm, and Nykaa intends to purchase the remaining 49% stake in subsequent years. Q1 FY27 saw Nykaa's consolidated net profit more than triple year-over-year, surging from ₹24.8 Cr to ₹79.8 Cr. Sequentially, profit remained nearly unchanged compared to ₹78.8 Cr in the previous quarter. Operating revenue increased 29% year-over-year and 5% sequentially to ₹2,782 Cr.",
