Honasa Consumer shares rose as much as 8.24% to ₹478.55 on the NSE on Tuesday, October 6, after the company announced that it expects net sales value (NSV) growth in the early thirties year‑on‑year in Q2FY27. The forecast is described as broad‑based, supported by traction across its focus categories and brands. Net sales value is the value of products sold after adjusting for discounts, returns and other deductions from gross sales, indicating how much the company actually earns from its products.

Mamaearth, Honasa Consumer’s largest brand, is expected to post high‑teens YoY NSV growth during the quarter, supported by rising brand affinity and a widening offline footprint. The company’s younger brands, including The Derma Co., Aqualogica, BBlunt, Dr Sheth’s and others, are expected to accelerate growth to around the mid‑forties. Offline channels, including General Trade and Modern Trade, are expected to lead growth, while online sales are also expected to maintain momentum.

On profitability, Honasa said it expects to maintain an early double‑digit operating margin profile in Q2FY27, with strong year‑on‑year gains. The company clarified that the update is provisional and subject to limited review by statutory auditors, with detailed Q2 financial results to follow after board approval. The company also highlighted that its Focus Categories grew 35%+, and that stronger demand is seen across General Trade, Modern Trade and e‑commerce.
