This extreme premium requires sustained 25-30% revenue CAGR to justify. Q3 FY26 revenue of Rs 2,264 crore grew 20% YoY \u2014 genuinely strong growth, but below the 25-28% the market expected and below what is needed to compress the valuation to a reasonable forward multiple.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Meesho_and_Amazon_Competing_in_Mass_Beauty\"><\/span><strong>2.

Quick commerce platforms like Blinkit and Zepto are also emerging as meaningful beauty distribution channels \u2014 particularly for impulse purchases.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Gross_Margin_Pressure_From_Private_Label_Mix_Shift\"><\/span><strong>3. Gross Margin Pressure From Private Label Mix Shift<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Nykaa&#8217;s private label brands (Nykaa Cosmetics, Kay Beauty, Dot &amp; Key) carry higher gross margins than third-party brand distribution. However, Nykaa has found it difficult to scale private label as fast as the overall platform, resulting in limited gross margin improvement. EBITDA margin at 5.8% is below the 8-10% that the market needs to see for valuation to compress naturally.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Fashion_Business_Remains_Loss-Making\"><\/span><strong>4.
