FSN E-Commerce Ventures Ltd, the parent company of beauty retailer Nykaa, announced a strong Q4FY25 performance on May 30. The consolidated net profit (PAT) jumped 193% to Rs 20 crore from Rs 7 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue also climbed 24%, reaching Rs 2,062 crore compared to Rs 1,668 crore in Q4FY24.
The company is proving it can boost profits even while expanding sales. This is good news for customers who enjoy the convenience of online beauty shopping and for investors keeping an eye on the booming Indian e-commerce market.
Beauty and Fashion Both Shine
Nykaa’s beauty segment led the charge with sales of Rs 1,895 crore, up from Rs 1,520 crore a year ago. Fashion sales also increased, hitting Rs 161 crore from Rs 145 crore in the same period last year. This shows Nykaa’s diversified model is paying off.
The firm’s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) rose 43% year-on-year to Rs 133 crore. EBITDA margins improved from 5.6% to 6.5%, showing better cost control and efficiency.

Stock Market Reaction and What’s Next?
Despite these strong numbers, Nykaa’s shares on the NSE closed nearly 2% lower at Rs 201. The stock has traded between Rs 150 and Rs 230 over the past year, with a market capitalization of Rs 58,100 crore. This dip may reflect short-term profit booking or cautious investor sentiment.
But here’s the kicker: the real story isn’t just the numbers, but how Nykaa is carving out space in the crowded e-commerce field. It’s like the beauty world’s version of a rising star—glowing brighter while others stumble.
In a market where many retailers struggle with thin profits or losses, Nykaa’s leap in profitability is impressive. It means the company is not just selling more, but also making more from each sale. For consumers, this might translate to better product ranges, improved service, and more innovation.
For investors, Nykaa’s growth and margin improvement could be a signal of long-term strength, making it a stock to watch closely.
