Dabur Sees Q4 Profit Contraction, Shares Hit 52-Week Low

Dabur India has projected a decline in revenue for the March quarter, citing a slowdown in urban markets and margin contraction due to inflationary pressures. The homegrown FMCG giant anticipates a 150-175 basis points reduction in its operating profit margin for Q4 FY25.

In its latest quarterly update filed late Wednesday, Dabur stated that its consolidated revenue for the quarter is expected to remain “flattish,” reflecting subdued consumer demand.

Following this announcement, Dabur’s shares tumbled to a 52-week low of ₹458.25 on Thursday morning before recovering slightly to ₹464.55, still 6.25% lower than the previous close.

Market analysts attribute the stock’s decline to investor concerns over weak earnings performance and continued inflationary headwinds affecting the FMCG sector. Going forward, the company’s recovery will likely depend on improvements in demand dynamics and cost-control measures.
