FirstCry shares jump up to 15% today despite weak Q4 earnings; check details

Brainbees Solutions shares, which operate through the FirstCry brand in India, saw strong investor traction today. The stock rose over 15% intraday to a day high of ₹392.90 per share.

As of 3:00 pm, the FirstCry stock is trading at ₹374.8 apiece, up 9.9%. The rise in the stock price comes despite reporting subdued quarterly earnings last month. The company's Q4 net loss widened to ₹111.5 crore compared to a ₹43.2 crore loss in the year-ago period. Slowdown in offline sales, fewer winterwear sales, and the closure of 38 company-owned stores impacted the overall profitability of the company. Gross merchandise value (GMV) for the offline channels saw modest growth of 5% YoY.

As a result, its revenue from operations fell 11% to ₹1,930 crore compared to ₹2,172 crore in the previous quarter but rose 16% in comparison to last year.

Despite today’s rise, Firstcry stock is still down 43% so far this year. Meanwhile, compared to its IPO price band of ₹465, the stock is down over 22%. The company’s IPO came in August 2024 to raise ₹4,193 crore.

The public issue saw a decent subscription of 12.2 times, while the stock listed at a 40% gain on market debut. After listing, the stock made a 52-week high of ₹734 on 15 October 2024 and a 52-week low of 286 per share on 7 April 2025. The current market capitalisation of the company stands at ₹18,882 crore.
