Varun Beverages (VBL) Latest Updates

Varun Beverages recently announced strong Q1 CY2025 results. Net profit surged by 33.45% and revenue by 29% year-on-year, driven by robust sales volume growth both in India and newly acquired international markets. The company's EBITDA also saw a healthy increase. VBL has been actively expanding its operations. It recently approved the acquisition of a 50% stake in Everest Industrial Lanka, which produces commercial visi-coolers. Additionally, new beverage and water production facilities have commenced commercial operation in Buxar (Bihar), Kangra (Himachal Pradesh), and Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh). The company is also expanding its snacks business with PepsiCo in African markets. While VBL declared an interim dividend of ₹0.50 per share, the ex-dividend date for this payout was May 7, 2025. Therefore, the stock's price on Monday will not be directly impacted by this dividend event, as it has already traded ex-dividend.
