    Earlier in March, Meesho had announced an ESOP buyback plan of Rs 200 crore, followed by Pocket FM's repurchase worth Rs 69 crore in April.

    Analysts at Elara Securities expect Nykaa to report 19.8 percent year-on-year (YoY) rise in net profit to Rs 1,558 crore in Q4FY24, while recurring profit-after-tax (PAT) is likely to jump by 340 percent YoY to Rs 10 crore.

    The company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) is also expected to grow by 23.5 percent YoY to Rs 87 crore in the March-ended quarter.

    Nykaa has been reporting a steady performance over the last 3 quarters despite overall slowdown in consumer spending. Nuvama expects Nykaa to report 24 percent and 34 percent YoY growth in BPC and fashion gross merchandise value (GMV).

    On the other hand, analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities see the company's EBITDA margins expanding by 82 basis points YoY in Q4FY24, thanks to loss reduction in eB2B business as well as fixed-cost operating leverage.

    In the past 3 months, shares of Nykaa have surged over 16 percent, outpacing Nifty 50 index that gained by merely a percent during the same period. Nykaa shares hit 52-week high of Rs 195 apiece on January 10, 2024.
