Meesho Falls Despite Strong Q1 Results: Know Why


    By Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ)

    Summary :


    Meesho share price fell over 6% despite reporting better-than-expected Q1 FY27 results. Revenue and net loss both beat market estimates. However, negative free cash flow, continued EBITDA losses and rising logistics costs kept investor sentiment weak, leading to the sharp decline in the stock.

    Meesho Falls 6% After Q1 Results

    Meesho came into the spotlight on Friday after it published its Q1 FY27 results. At first glance, the numbers looked quite positive. The company reported strong revenue growth, narrowed its losses and also beat market estimates on both revenue and net loss.

    Despite these results, the stock failed to impress investors. The company continues to report negative profitability metrics and negative free cash flow. Rising fuel costs and minimum wage increases are also putting pressure on its logistics business. As a result, the stock fell more than 6% in the early trading session on Friday, July 24.

    Share Price Falls More Than 6%

    Following the results, the stock came under selling pressure. The stock opened in the red at ₹188.30 but later fell to an intraday low of ₹177.50. At this level, the stock was down 6% from the previous close.

    The stock's past performance has also been muted. It is down just 1% so far in 2026.

    Revenue Beats Estimates and Rises 48%

    Revenue from operations rose 48.3% YoY to ₹3,712.8 crore, compared with ₹2,504 crore in the same quarter last year. The figure was also higher than the market estimates of ₹3,601.5 crore.

    Losses Cut Down to More Than Half

    Consolidated net loss narrowed to ₹132.8 crore from ₹289.3 crore a year ago. The loss was slightly better than the market estimates of ₹135.2 crore. Even though losses reduced sharply, the company said it continued investing in growth initiatives as competition in the e-commerce space remains intense.

    Apart from revenue and earnings, Net Merchandise Value (NMV), which represents the total value of successfully delivered orders, increased by 34% year-on-year to ₹11,614 crore.

    The annual transacting user base grew 29% to 274 million. Quarterly orders also rose 29% to 725 million.

    Why Did Meesho Fall?

    The company's Chief Financial Officer highlighted that rising fuel prices and higher minimum wages continue to increase logistics and last-mile delivery expenses. These costs are weighing on margins even as revenue continues to grow.

    Some key profitability indicators also remain in the red. Marketplace Adjusted EBITDA improved to its strongest level since listing. However, it was still negative at 1.2% of NMV. The company's last twelve months' free cash flow improved by 15%, but it was still negative at ₹537 crore.

    Along with company-specific concerns, the broader market remained weak on Friday. Both the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex traded 1% lower on Friday morning.
