What to watch

- Inventory growth, stock ageing, markdown intensity and operating cash-flow conversion.
- Festive-season demand, especially premium apparel and wedding-related categories.

- E-commerce/direct-to-consumer mix and customer acquisition cost trends.
- Management commentary on consumer demand, discounting and full-year margin guidance.
- Prioritize direct-channel growth and omnichannel conversion, where customer data and full-price sell-through can improve unit economics.
