Resurfacing February guidance: Honasa eyed high-teens FY27 revenue growth as Mamaearth rebounded
Honasa Consumer targets fiscal 2027 revenue growth in the high-teen percentage range, above analysts' 15 per cent forecast, as Mamaearth rebounds. December-quarter profit reached ₹50.2 crore, with revenue rising 16 per cent to ₹602 crore. The company is exploring fragrance and nutrition-oriented beauty acquisitions.

Honasa’s high-teens FY27 growth outlook exceeds analysts’ 15% forecast, while quarterly profit nearly doubling to ₹50.2 crore strengthens the earnings story if the recovery holds.
What to watch next
- Revenue growth sustaining a high-teens pace, with organic growth separated from any acquired contribution.
- Mamaearth consumer sell-through and repeat purchases keeping pace with distributor shipments.
- Receivables, channel inventory and operating cash flow relative to reported profit.
- Advertising, promotional intensity and operating margins as competitors respond.
- Acquisition announcements, especially purchase multiples, funding terms and target profitability.
The counter-case
High-teens FY27 growth is guidance, not delivery, and only modestly above the cited 15% analyst forecast. One quarter of 16% revenue growth does not establish a durable Mamaearth recovery. If the rebound relies on easier comparisons or distributor restocking rather than consumer demand, momentum could fade. Potential acquisitions introduce integration and capital-allocation risks.
