Bajaj Consumer Care delivered a standout Q3 FY26, with consolidated revenue surging 32.7% YoY to ₹306 crore, driven by strong volume growth in flagship brand Almond Drops Hair Oil (ADHO) and distribution expansion. EBITDA margin expanded 600 bps YoY to 18.6%, aided by pricing actions and mix improvement. ADHO posted double-digit volume growth, while coconut oil grew mid-single digits after price corrections. Rural channel revived after H1 weakness. International business remained weak, declining mid-single digits. Management guided for sustained double-digit growth and gradual margin improvement, with 10% annual direct outlet expansion. Risks include copra price volatility and slower-than-expected rural recovery.
बजाज कंज्यूमर केयर ने तीसरी तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई पिछले साल की तुलना में 32.7% बढ़कर ₹306 करोड़ हो गई। इसकी मुख्य वजह इसका लोकप्रिय हेयर ऑयल 'अल्मोंड ड्रॉप्स' की जबरदस्त बिक्री और दुकानों तक पहुंच बढ़ाना रहा। कंपनी का मुनाफा भी 18.6% तक पहुंच गया, जो पिछले साल से 6% ज्यादा है। गांवों में बिक्री पहले की कमजोरी के बाद अब सुधर रही है। हालांकि, अंतरराष्ट्रीय कारोबार में थोड़ी गिरावट आई। कंपनी का कहना है कि आने वाले समय में अच्छी बढ़त जारी रहेगी और मुनाफा धीरे-धीरे बढ़ेगा। लेकिन नारियल तेल के दाम में उतार-चढ़ाव और गांवों में सुधार धीमा रहने से जोखिम है।
