Managerial commentary:

  • Dabur India Ltd Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mohit Malhotra said. “We have delivered steady results in what continues to be a difficult cost and operating environment. We continued to adjust prices responsibly to reflect inflation, Our India business reported a growth of 3.3% with a 3-year CAGR of 9.5% and steady market share gains across portfolio, despite most operating categories reporting a decline. The impact of inflationary pressures was more pronounced in the rural markets as marked downtrading and shift to more affordable and smaller packs led to rural growth lagging urban markets for the second quarter in a row for Dabur. However, we believe that this demand slump in rural has bottomed out as we are now seeing some green shoots of revival in demand in the hinterland.”

Outlook:

Dabur reported tepid results in the December quarter of FY23 with marginal growth in revenue of 3.45% on YoY basis and de-growth in pat margins by 148bps on YoY basis, which was mainly due to highly challenging cost because of inflationary pressures which was mostly seen in the rural area. However rural demand is reporting a smart recovery on the back of a record farm output and increased government spending. For the 9MFY23 Dabur has reported the earnings of Rs.7.94 and we expect the company to close the FY23 at the eEPS of Rs.9.92. Based on the estimated earnings the company is available at PEx of 55.83 at the CMP.
