Shares of Shoppers Stop Ltd tanked 6.84% to Rs 510.60 in early trade on Tuesday after the company reported a steep 91% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit for Q4 FY25. The fashion and lifestyle retailer posted a net profit of just Rs 2 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to Rs 21 crore in the same period last year.
Despite the slump in profitability, revenue from operations rose slightly by 2% YoY to Rs 1,022 crore. However, after excluding a GAAP reclassification adjustment of Rs 41 crore, the actual sales growth stood closer to 6%. EBITDA also dipped to Rs 187 crore from Rs 199 crore in Q4 FY24, with EBITDA margins narrowing to 18.3% from 19.9%.
The company’s profit before tax turned negative, standing at Rs (5) crore compared to Rs 28 crore a year earlier, further reflecting operational stress. For the full financial year FY25, revenue rose 5% to Rs 4,436 crore, but net profit fell sharply to Rs 6 crore from Rs 73 crore last year.
At 9:29 AM, Shoppers Stop shares were trading near the day’s low of Rs 503.40, with a market capitalization of Rs 5,611 crore. The company currently trades at a high P/E ratio of 177.06, with no dividend yield reported.
