Honasa Consumer share price zooms 11% to 52-week high after Q4 business update

Shares of Honasa Consumer, parent of beauty and personal care brand Mamaearth, witnessed a strong 11% spike in intraday deals on Thursday, April 9, following the announcement of its business update for the recently-concluded March quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (FY26).

Honasa stock jumped 11.49% to ₹348.75 apiece, also its 52-week high level, as against its last closing price of ₹312.80 on the BSE today. The stock remains 8.65% higher for the ongoing month and 13.36% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, defying the weak broader market sentiment.

Honasa Q4 business update

Honasa Consumer, earlier today, announced that it is likely to post a strong performance in Q4 FY26, with business growth likely in the late twenties, driven by a sharp rise in focus categories.

On a reported basis, adjusting for the change in revenue recognition policy by the Flipkart group, the company expects to deliver growth in the early twenties in Q4 FY26.

This is higher than the 16.23% growth posted by Mamaearth's parent for the quarter ended December 2025.

Honasa's largest brand, Mamaearth, continued its growth momentum and is expected to deliver teen growth during the quarter. The younger brands, such as The Derma Co., Aqualogica, BBlunt, Dr Sheth’s, Staze and Lumineve, continued their growth trajectory and are expected to deliver growth in the mid-twenties, the company said in a filing today.

"This also marks the first full quarter of our acquisition, BTM Ventures Private Limited (parent of Reginald Men and Molecular Company), which is expected to deliver a strong performance," the company added.

It expects the business to sustain its overall operating profit margin profile in Q4 FY26, led by leverage in marketing spends and fixed overheads.

Honasa FY27 outlook

In an interaction with Reuters in February, Honasa Consumer said that its revenue growth would be above market expectations for fiscal 2027, led by a sustained recovery in its flagship Mamaearth brand while exploring acquisitions in new categories.

Honasa, in an investor presentation in November, said the unit's growth was "back in the green" in the September quarter with the launch of new products, while its Rice Facewash hit 1 billion rupees in annual recurring revenue. Mamaearth accounts for 40-50% of the company's revenue.

Honasa now aims to grow its overall revenue in the high-teen percentage range for fiscal 2027, CEO and co‑founder Varun Alagh said. Analysts project growth of 15%, according to data compiled by LSEG.
