Why Is Campus Activewear Still Showing Growth Despite Sequential Q4 Slowdown?
About Campus Activewear’s Q4FY26 Performance
Campus Activewear reported healthy year-on-year growth in revenue, profitability and EBITDA during Q4FY26, reflecting continued traction in India’s sports and athleisure footwear market.
However, the company witnessed sequential moderation in revenue and earnings compared to the previous quarter, indicating softer seasonal demand and margin normalisation.
Campus Activewear remains one of the prominent players within India’s affordable sports footwear and athleisure segment, benefiting from rising consumer preference for casual and activewear products.
India’s organised footwear and athleisure market continues witnessing structural growth because younger consumers increasingly prefer branded sports and lifestyle products.
