2-Minute Summary
Tata Consumer Products delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue growing 18% YoY to INR 5,400 crore, driven by broad-based volume growth. India business UVG was 16%, with salt revenue up 12% and Sampann surging 69%. EBITDA margin expanded 100 bps YoY to 14.6%, aided by benign tea costs and operating leverage. Growth businesses crossed INR 4,000 crore for the full year, growing 24%. Management guided for double-digit revenue growth and 50-75 bps EBITDA margin expansion in FY27, with A&P spend normalizing to 7.5-8.5% of sales. Key risks include potential fuel-driven inflation and competitive intensity in tea and water segments.
टाटा कंज्यूमर प्रोडक्ट्स ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 की चौथी तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल आय पिछले साल की तुलना में 18% बढ़कर 5,400 करोड़ रुपये हो गई, जिसकी वजह हर तरह के उत्पादों की बिक्री में बढ़ोतरी है। भारत में बिक्री की मात्रा 16% बढ़ी। नमक की बिक्री 12% और सांपन्न ब्रांड की 69% बढ़ी। कमाई पर खर्च का अनुपात 14.6% रहा, जो पिछले साल से 1% ज्यादा है। इससे कंपनी को ज्यादा मुनाफा हुआ। अगले साल कंपनी को दो अंकों में आय बढ़ने और मुनाफे में और सुधार की उम्मीद है। हालांकि, चाय और पानी के बाजार में कड़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा और ईंधन की कीमतों में बढ़ोतरी का जोखिम है।
