Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
ABFRL reported 13% year-on-year revenue growth in Q2 FY26, reaching Rs. 1,982 Cr compared to Rs. 1,761 Cr in Q2 FY25. EBITDA rose 7% to Rs. 116 Cr, but the EBITDA margin slipped to 5.9% due to 200 basis points higher advertising spends. The company slipped deeper into the red with a loss after tax of Rs. 295 Cr versus Rs. 116 Cr loss a year ago. All segments grew — Pantaloons up 6%, ethnic businesses 11%, luxury 13%, and TMRW 27%. The company closed the quarter with a healthy gross cash position of ~Rs. 2,150 Cr, 1,190 stores spanning 7.5 million sq.ft., and launched two new concepts: OWND (Gen Z brand) and Galeries Lafayette (India's first luxury department store).
Strong top-line growth and broad-based segment performance signal healthy demand, but widening losses and margin pressure from heavy ad spends may concern near-term profitability-focused investors. The strong cash balance and aggressive expansion across value, ethnic, and luxury segments position ABFRL for long-term growth, though the path to sustained profitability remains unclear.
