Baazar Style Retail Ltd

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd trades at ₹388, in a confirmed uptrend and 3 weeks into that stage. That is +17.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 83% of a 52-week range of ₹239 to ₹418. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 5 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 3 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹388 it trades +17.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 83% of its 52-week range (₹239–₹418).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 2.0 years the stock moved −3% while the NIFTY 500 moved −3% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 5 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd trades at 108.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (74th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 87.9×, measured across 2.0 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 108.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (74th percentile), against a long-run median of 87.9× measured over 2.0 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +220.4% against a +4.8% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, Baazar Style Retail Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 31.1% a year. Profit itself has compounded 111.0% a year over the past 3 years. Today the market pays 108.0× P/E, the 74th percentile of its own 2-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements.

Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Baazar Style Retail Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 10 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

4-Factor Sector Score

53.4/100 — rank 9 of 26 in Textiles - Readymade Apparel · 83% evidence confidence

Baazar Style Retail Ltd scores 53.4 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Textiles - Readymade Apparel, ranking 9. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 22.9 + 4.1 + 8.5 + 17.9 = 53.4. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd reported ₹486 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +28.7% year on year. That is the 10th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 3 years it has compounded at 32.7% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,841 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,950 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,841 Cr (+37.1% on the year), capping 3 years at 32.7% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹486 Cr, +28.7% year on year — the 10th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +36.9% growth against the decade's 32.7% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +34.9% over the last 4 quarters against +38.2%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +174.2% vs +71.5%/yr — accelerating.

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd's operating margin is 14.8% in the Jun 26 quarter, −0.6 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 4 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 13.0% to 15.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 14.8%, −0.6 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 4 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 13.0%–15.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −0.6 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.8 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd earned ₹2.2 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +8.3% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹47.0 Cr. The 3-year compound rate is 111.0%. That is 0.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹2.1 Cr. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Jun 26 profit was ₹2.2 Cr, +8.3% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹47.0 Cr (+213.3%), and the 3-year compound rate is 111.0%.

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 346% of Baazar Style Retail Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹126 Cr of operating cash against ₹47.0 Cr of profit. After ₹112 Cr of capital spending, ₹14.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹126 Cr against reported profit of ₹47.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹14.0 Cr after ₹112 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 346% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

Why conversion sits at 346%: the cash cycle tightened 17 days between FY23 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.5× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Baazar Style Retail Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 86 days in FY26, down from 103 days in FY23. Capital spending ran ₹849 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,841 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹5.0 Cr, so roughly ₹434 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 0 days, inventory at 203 days — roughly 6.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 86 days, tighter than FY23's 103.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 203 days to sell; customers pay about 0 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 117 days — netting out to the 86-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,841 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹5.0 Cr — so the 86-day loop keeps roughly ₹434 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹849 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹343 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹22.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd earns a ROCE of 8% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −7.2 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 2.6% net margin on 0.98× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 8%.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 2.6% net margin × 0.98× asset turns × 4.18× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 10.7% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 4.8% − 12.0% = a −7.2 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd carries total debt of ₹995 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹450 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 2.21. On the annual view that ratio went from 2.53 in FY23 to 2.21 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹995 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹450 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 2.21. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 2.53 (FY23) to 2.21 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

Foreign institutions cut 4.8 points of Baazar Style Retail Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 1.7% of the company. Domestic institutions moved −4.0 points over the same window, to 5.9%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −4.8 points over 8 quarters to 1.7%; Domestic institutions: −4.0 points over 8 quarters to 5.9%; Promoters: −0.8 points over 8 quarters to 44.8%.

🚨 Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (−4.8 points), alongside domestic institutions (−4.0 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Baazar Style Retail Ltd: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.
