Gillette India reported strong financial performance for FY26 ending March 2026. Full-year sales stood at ₹3,100 crore, growing 8% YoY, while Profit After Tax (PAT) reached ₹654 crore, up 23% YoY. For Q4 alone, sales were ₹792 crore (up 3%) and PAT was ₹193 crore (up 21%). The company attributed growth to a robust portfolio, superior execution, and innovation including Gillette Guard 3in1 and new Oral-B products. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹60 per share, with total dividend payout of ₹240 per share (including interim and special dividend), subject to shareholder approval. Note: The company changed its financial year from July-June to April-March, so FY26 is compared against a comparable 12-month period.
Consistent double-digit profit growth alongside steady revenue expansion signals operational efficiency and strong brand positioning. The increased dividend payout is positive for income-seeking investors, while the margin improvement (PAT outpacing sales growth) indicates continued cost discipline.
