Shoppers Stop Q3 Profit Drops 22-Fold
Shoppers Stop, a big fashion store, recently shared its financial results for the third quarter.
The company made much less profit compared to the same time last year, about 22 times less!
This is because people are spending less money, and there were other problems like pollution in North India.
However, some parts of the business did well, like selling beauty products and premium brands.
The company also opened new stores and spent money on improvements.
Overall, it was a tough quarter, but there were some bright spots.
The share price dropped by 12% after the results were announced, leading to discussions on whether to buy, sell, or hold the stock.
Shoppers Stop's net profit for Q3 dropped 22-fold to ₹16.12 crore from ₹52.23 crore last year.
Revenue increased modestly by 2.63% year-on-year to ₹1,415.82 crore.
EBITDA declined by 11.1% to ₹217.8 crore, with margins slipping to 15.4% from 17.7%.
Premium brands contributed 69% of total sales, growing 6% year-on-year.
Beauty segment sales rose 14% to ₹395 crore, and INTUNE sales grew 22% to ₹77 crore.
