STOCK IN FOCUS - DABUR

Dabur India Limited has issued a quarterly business update for Q4 FY25, indicating muted performance amid challenging market conditions. The company expects consolidated revenue to remain flattish, while its India FMCG business is likely to decline in mid-single digits. Despite subdued overall FMCG volume trends, rural markets outperformed urban areas, providing some resilience. Organised trade channels—including modern trade, e-commerce, and quick commerce—continued their growth momentum, while general trade remained under pressure. In international markets, the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region, Egypt, and Bangladesh are projected to deliver strong performance, driving robust double-digit growth in constant currency terms. Meanwhile, Dabur’s foods business in India, including 'Hommade' and 'Badshah' brands, is expected to post double-digit growth.
