Recent developments

On 2026-10-01, the stock fell to a 52-week low of ₹1,831 as a sell-off deepened. On 2026-09-23, the company reported a 44% dip in Q1FY27 net profit, despite revenue doubling due to a tax shift. On 2026-07-28, shares fell 6% after the Q1 net profit declined over 44% due to higher excise duty, while revenue and total income more than doubled.

Financial performance

The company's business is improving, with annual revenue rising 13.9% and net profit surging 42.4% year-on-year. However, the latest quarter shows a sharp decline, with revenue falling 18.9% and net profit dropping 44.3% compared to the same quarter a year earlier. The net profit margin has expanded to 23.9% from 19.1% a year ago, but the recent quarter's margin contraction to 3.2% highlights a temporary challenge.

Valuation multiples

The stock trades at 18.9 times earnings, broadly in line with the Fast Moving Consumer Goods median of 19.6, 4.95 times book value. It yields 2.5%.

Things to watch

The stock is 47.7% below its 52-week high, reflecting a significant drop from its peak. The latest quarter's net profit fell 44.3% year-on-year, and the margin shrank to 3.2%, indicating pressure on profitability. Promoter shares pledged amount to 0.21% of their holding, which could signal short-term liquidity concerns.

Where it stands

The company has delivered strong annual growth in revenue and net profit, but the latest quarter's performance shows a sharp reversal. The stock is now trading far below its 52-week high, and the recent quarter's margin contraction to 3.2% is the most significant figure. The company's financials remain robust, but the recent earnings decline and share price drop are key factors to note.
