Colgate Palmolive (India) reported Q4 FY26 net sales of Rs. 1,583 Crore, up 9% YoY, with strong broad-based growth across portfolio. Q4 net profit was Rs. 353 Crore vs Rs. 355 Crore last year; excluding one-offs, profit grew 9% YoY. For full year FY26, net sales stood at Rs. 5,984 Crore (flat YoY) while net profit declined to Rs. 1,325 Crore from Rs. 1,437 Crore, impacted by inverted duty structure charges due to GST changes and higher interest on tax refunds in the base year. The Board declared a Second Interim Dividend of Rs. 24 per share, bringing total FY26 dividend to Rs. 48 per share (Rs. 653 Crore payout). The 85th AGM is scheduled for July 29, 2026. CFO Jacob Sebastian Madukkakuzy was re-appointed for 5 years starting October 28, 2026.
Q4 showed strong rebound in sales growth with 9% topline increase, signaling recovery momentum. However, full-year profit decline of 8% may weigh on near-term sentiment despite healthy dividend payout of Rs. 48 per share. The company is investing heavily in premiumization and advertising, which may support long-term growth.
