It’s not every day that a company posts a bigger loss, and its stock shoots up 13 per cent. But that’s exactly what happened with Brainbees Solutions, the company behind FirstCry.
After a long slump, the stock came alive on Tuesday (June 3, 2025). And while the numbers aren’t pretty, investors are sniffing a potential turnaround.
Q4 FY25 results snapshot
| Metric | Q4 FY25 | Q4 FY24 | YoY change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Rs 1,930 crore | Rs 1,667 crore | 15.8 per cent |
| Net loss | Rs 111 crore | Rs 111 crore | No change |
| Adjusted EBITDA | Rs 394 crore | Rs 276 crore | 42.8 per cent |
| EBITDA margin | 20.4 per cent | 16.5 per cent | 0.24 bps |
Why the rally?
- Margin play: The company’s EBITDA margin climbed to 20.4 per cent. That’s a big win for a business still posting losses.
- Oversold bounce: After a 45 per cent fall, some investors saw a cheap entry point.
