Nykaa shares profit booking from 52-week high post Q1 earnings
Nykaa is a company that sells makeup and clothes in India.
It recently told everyone how much money it made in the first three months of its financial year.
The company earned much more money than it did last year.
Its sales went up by 29 percent compared with the same time a year ago.
Its profit margin was the best it has been in twelve quarters.
Because the results were strong, many investors sold their shares to lock in gains.
That made the share price fall back from its highest level in 52 weeks.
Money experts at different firms shared their opinions on the share price.
Two firms think the shares can still go higher, while one firm thinks they are too expensive.
Nykaa's Q1 revenue from operations rose 29% year-on-year to Rs 2,782 crore, from Rs 2,155 crore a year ago.
Gross profit climbed 33% year-on-year to Rs 1,276 crore, and EBITDA rose 68% to Rs 236 crore.
EBITDA margin rose to a 12-quarter high of 8.5%, up from 6.5% a year ago.
Total expenses increased to Rs 2,662.15 crore in Q1 from Rs 2,120.56 crore a year ago.
Brokerages issued fresh price targets: Nuvama at Rs 414 (BUY), JM Financial at Rs 395, and MOFSL at Rs 370 (Neutral).
