The shares of FMCG company Dabur India plummeted 7.5% to an intraday low of Rs 458.25 on the BSE on Thursday, after the company shared its fourth quarter updates for the financial year 2025.
The company informed that the overall FMCG volume growth remained subdued during the quarter.
Financially, the company stated that its consolidated revenue is expected to remain flat for Q4 FY25. Operating profit margin is projected to decline by 150–175 basis points year-on-year, primarily due to inflation and operating deleverage.
Dabur also informed that the rural markets showed stronger resilience and growth than urban areas in Q4. Organized trade channels like modern trade, E-commerce, and quick commerce saw healthy momentum, while general trade remained under pressure.
For the Indian foods business, brands like 'Homemade' and 'Badshah' continued to do well, with expectations of double-digit growth. However, India’s overall FMCG business may decline in the mid-single digits due to weak urban performance and a shorter winter season, the company said.
Dabur’s key international markets, such as the MENA region, Egypt, and Bangladesh are expected to deliver strong double-digit growth in constant currency terms.
Future outlook
Despite demand challenges, Dabur remains focused on profitable growth through brand building, improved go-to-market strategies, and operational efficiency. The company also expects that recent Union Budget incentives will drive consumption recovery in the FMCG sector, positioning Dabur well to benefit.
Dabur share price performance
Over the past 1 year, the shares of Dabur India have declined by 13.07%, while the Year-To-Date (YTD) performance shows a drop of 9.62%. In the last 6 months, the price fell by 20.45%, and over 3 months, it declined by 12.04%. For the 1-month duration, the price registered a decrease of 6%.
