Executive brief · today

Titan is the day's anchor: Q4 profit up 35%, FY26 revenue past ₹76,000 crore, with jewellery volumes and gold tailwinds offsetting a soft watches quarter and Damas losses. Quick commerce is bifurcating — Zepto secured SEBI clearance for a ₹9,300 crore IPO even as Blinkit's growth halved to 8% QoQ and Instamart's GOV shrank, pushing Swiggy toward CM breakeven discipline. Organised retail's land grab is real: 2,182 new stores in FY26, domestic retailers driving 81% of Q3 leasing, and Tata Starbucks betting on premium Reserve formats beyond the metros. Watch gold price trajectory, Zepto's DRHP update in eight weeks, and whether Amazon Now's ₹2,800 crore deployment forces another round of quick commerce burn.

Q.01 brand

How did Titan's Q4 perform?

Titan's Q4 net profit rose 35% to ₹1,179 crore on sales of ₹20,607 crore, up 48%. Jewellery brands Tanishq, Mia and Zoya grew 48% to ₹16,047 crore, while watches grew a modest 8% and the international jewellery arm including Damas posted an ₹82 crore loss.

Q.02 brand

What's Titan's FY26 revenue print?

Titan's FY26 consolidated revenue crossed ₹76,078 crore, up 32.7%, with net profit jumping 52% to ₹5,073 crore. CFO Ashok Sonthalia flagged margin pressure if gold keeps climbing, and CaratLane's ERP migration hurt Valentine's fulfilment during the year.

Q.03 brand

Has Zepto's IPO been cleared?

Yes. SEBI has issued its observation letter for Zepto's ₹9,300 crore IPO, pitched at $800 million to $1 billion and largely primary. An updated DRHP is expected within eight weeks, setting up a public-markets race against Blinkit and Instamart.

Q.04 brand

What are Zepto's latest financials?

Zepto's FY25 sales jumped 129% to ₹9,668.8 crore, but losses widened 177% to ₹3,367.3 crore on aggressive dark-store expansion. Daily orders have crossed 2.5 million, up from 1.5-1.7 million, and the firm is pitching FY29 profitability to institutional investors.

Q.05 theme

Is quick commerce slowing down?

Yes, at the top. Blinkit's net order value growth halved to 8% QoQ from 13%, and Swiggy Instamart's GOV actually dipped to ₹7,881 crore from ₹7,938 crore — its first sequential shrink. Eternal's management flagged intensifying competition as the category normalises.

Q.06 brand

How is Swiggy managing its burn?

Swiggy's Q4 loss narrowed 26% to ₹800 crore on revenue up 45% to ₹6,383 crore, with Instamart's contribution margin improving to -1.8% from -5.6%. But FY26 losses still widened 33% to ₹4,154 crore. Management is chasing CM breakeven by Q1FY27 and has shut quick-food pilot Snacc.

The shape of
today's briefing.

Today's feed skews heavily to retail-company earnings, with Titan's jewellery-led Q4 beat and Swiggy's narrowing losses anchoring the tape. Quick commerce dominates the secondary narrative — Zepto's $1B IPO filing, Blinkit's QoQ slowdown, and Instamart's breakeven path — while Tata Starbucks extends premium store expansion.
