JM Financial upgrades the stock
Brokerage firm JM Financial upgraded its rating from an “add” to a “buy” with a revised DCF-based target price of ₹330 from ₹325 earlier.
JM Financial said Honasa’s Q2FY26 earnings print was a tad better on the revenue front, but profitability was significantly ahead of expectations.
Mamaearth’s primary sales were back in green, while young brands sustained momentum, growing at 20 per cent, said the brokerage firm.
“Initiatives around reviving growth in Mamaearth are showing promising results, and management commentary was optimistic in terms of accelerating growth to double-digits by Q4FY26E,” said JM Financial.
“Further on profitability, the pace of margin expansion has been much ahead of our expectations for the past few quarters (led by improved mix and operating leverage), which should be sustained by improving growth in Mamaearth, scale up in premium brands and marketing efficiencies. Working capital remains negative. We raise our FY26-28E by 2-5 per cent. Given the recent correction in stock and improving outlook, we upgrade our rating from an add to a buy,” said JM Financial.
Honasa Consumer share price: What do technical indicators say?
According to Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Technical Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, Honasa Consumer shares have been consolidating in a tight range between ₹310 and ₹270, indicating indecision among market participants.
Despite this sideways move, the MACD on the daily timeframe shows a bullish structure, suggesting an underlying positive bias.
“The confirmation of strength will only come once the stock delivers a decisive close above ₹310, which could trigger a breakout rally towards the ₹335– ₹340 levels. Until then, traders are advised to remain cautious and avoid aggressive long positions within the range,” said Patel.
“On the downside, ₹270 acts as an important short-term support, and any breach below this level may invite mild profit booking or corrective pressure. Overall bias remains positive but conditional on a breakout above ₹310,” Patel said.
Amruta Shinde, a research analyst at Choice Broking, underscored that Honasa Consumer is showing a strong bullish reversal from key support levels. The stock has broken out of an ascending triangle pattern after the company’s robust results, followed by mild profit booking, indicating healthy consolidation.
“A decisive move above ₹310 with strong volumes could trigger a rally toward ₹330– ₹355 and higher. The RSI at 61.50, trending upward, signals increasing bullish momentum. Trading above the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day EMAs confirms a solid uptrend across timeframes,” said Shinde.
“On the downside, support at ₹290 offers buying opportunities on dips. Traders may consider accumulating near ₹290 with a stop-loss at ₹282. A sustained breakout above ₹310 offers a favourable risk–reward setup for positional traders targeting a move toward ₹355,” Shinde said.
