What to watch

  • Beauty gross merchandise value growth versus overall revenue growth.
  • Fashion revenue growth, contribution margin, return rates and discount intensity.
  • Gross margin movement and the share of private-label, premium and exclusive-brand sales.
  • Advertising and retail-media income growth.
  • Customer-acquisition cost, repeat purchase behavior and active-customer growth.
  • Inventory days, fulfillment expense as a share of sales and any rise in markdowns.
  • Competitive promotions from quick-commerce, large marketplaces and direct-to-consumer beauty brands.
  • Prioritize beauty private-label launches, premium brand partnerships and omnichannel inventory availability to defend margin-rich demand.
  • Use the stronger profit base to selectively fund fashion assortment, seller onboarding and logistics rather than broad-based discounting.
  • Expand retail-media and brand advertising products, which can lift monetization without proportional inventory risk.
  • Tighten fashion-unit economics by tracking repeat rates, return rates, contribution margin and fulfillment costs by category and city.
  • Signal a clearer profitability roadmap for fashion to investors, separating beauty-led cash generation from growth investment.
