Dabur Hits 52-Week Low as Growth Slows

plunged 7% to ₹458.20, hitting a 52-week low, after its Q4 FY25 business update fell short of expectations. The company reported flat revenue growth, while FMCG volumes declined mid-single digits. EBITDA margins are expected to shrink by 150-175 bps YoY due to rising costs and weaker operating leverage. The stock is down 10.65% YTD, reflecting investor concerns over growth. Despite rural demand outpacing urban markets, general trade remained weak, though modern trade, e-commerce, and quick commerce showed strength. Internationally, MENA, Egypt, and Bangladesh are expected to post double-digit growth in constant currency. Technically, the Dabur is under pressure, trading below key moving averages (9-day EMA: ₹501.19, 70-day EMA: ₹511.52, 100-day EMA: ₹512.47), with RSI at 27.42 (daily) and 31.01 (weekly), signaling oversold conditions but no immediate reversal signs. Key support lies at ₹440.45, while any rebound may face resistance near ₹490.45-₹504.25. Meanwhile, the Nifty FMCG index is recovering from 50,500, with resistance at 53,900. A breakout could drive it to 55,200, but it remains in a medium-term downtrend, trading below its 70-EMA at 54,402. Note: This is informational purposes only.
