The short read
Go Fashion (India) Limited reported Q4 FY26 revenue of INR196 crores with EBITDA margin of 25.3% and PAT of INR8 crores, while full-year FY26 revenue stood at INR838 crores with EBITDA margin of 28.3% and PAT of INR59 crores. Management attributed the year's softness to negative same-store sales growth driven by smaller stores lacking display space for new products, and to a large-format store partner pausing inventory intake for about 45 days in the LFS channel. The company outlined a strategy of closing smaller stores, opening larger 700-plus square feet stores, launching new products, and signing a brand ambassador to drive a return to positive same-store sales growth in FY27.
