Dabur India reported Q4 FY26 consolidated revenue growth of 7.3% YoY with domestic FMCG business growing 9.5% backed by 6% volume growth. Operating profit grew 8.2% and PAT grew 15%. HPC portfolio was the star performer with 17% growth, driven by Hair Oils (28%), Shampoos (20%), and Home Care (24%). Healthcare portfolio grew mid-teens ex-glucose, which declined 24-25% due to unseasonal rains. Management revised FY27 revenue guidance upward from high single-digit to high single to low double-digit growth, expecting 50% from volume and balance from pricing. The company faces ~10% inflation due to Middle East geopolitical tensions and has already announced 4% price increases across HPC portfolios. International business remains muted at 2.5% growth due to Middle East supply chain disruptions, inflation impact, and expat exodus. Management committed to margin improvement through price increases, premiumization, and cost savings initiatives.
Dabur's strong Q4 performance with margin expansion despite inflation pressures signals operational resilience. The upward revision in growth guidance and commitment to margin improvement are positive for shareholders. However, rising input costs and Middle East headwinds on international business remain key monitors.
