Honasa shares jump 7% on Q2 growth forecast
Shares of Honasa Consumer Ltd. rose as much as 7.5% on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, after the company said its second quarter (July to September 2026) is expected to be another robust quarter. The stock was trading at Rs 471.90, up 6.74%, at 10:21 IST, according to The Economic Times.
Honasa expects net sales value (NSV) growth in the early thirties year-on-year for Q2 FY27, driven by broad-based traction across brands. Mamaearth, its largest brand, is projected to post high-teens NSV growth, while younger brands are expected to accelerate to around mid-forties growth. The company also said it expects an early double-digit operating margin in the quarter, with strong year-on-year improvement.
The company said the offline segment continues to lead growth, with both General Trade and Modern Trade expected to post strong performance. The online segment is also expected to maintain growth momentum. The operating update is provisional and subject to limited review by statutory auditors.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets covered the Honasa Q2 business update as neutral wire-style reporting, with no discernible slant. CNBCTV18 and NDTV Profit led with the share price move, while The Economic Times added valuation and technical indicators. The only substantive difference is the extra context: The Economic Times included a disclaimer that the update is provisional and not earnings guidance, which CNBCTV18 and NDTV Profit omitted. The uniform framing across sources suggests a consensus on the company's upbeat outlook. The stock price and the final audited Q2 results, due later this year, will test whether the provisional figures hold.
