Godrej Consumer Stock Price Up by More Than 3% After Company Indicates to High Single Digit Growth in June Quarter

July 7, 2025: Shares of Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) surged over 3% in early trade following an encouraging business update for the first quarter of FY26. The company anticipates high single-digit value growth in its India business for the quarter, driven by mid-single-digit growth in underlying volumes.

The company expects a moderate-high consolidated EBITDA growth for the full year, with easing palm oil prices in June likely to support improved performance in the latter half of the fiscal year.

At 10:18 AM, the company’s stocks were trading at ₹1,246.90, up by 4.53%.

Positive Outlook for FY26

GCPL announced that it expects sequential performance improvement in FY26, with the company projecting:

Mid-to-high single-digit volume growth (UVG) for the standalone business

High single-digit consolidated revenue growth

Double-digit consolidated EBITDA growth for the full year

While the standalone EBITDA margin for Q1FY26 is anticipated to be below the normal range, the company noted that margins are likely to improve going forward. It attributed the temporary pressure to input costs, although easing palm oil prices in June are expected to positively impact results from the second half of the fiscal year.

Standalone and Consolidated Performance Insights

The company further stated:

Standalone business is likely to see high single-digit value growth, driven by mid-single-digit UVG

Volume growth has been competitive and improving sequentially

Consolidated growth will be underpinned by double-digit INR revenue growth, also supported by high single-digit UVG

Stock Performance

Despite the recent rally, GCPL’s stock had declined approximately 12 percent over the past year. However, the fresh guidance and optimism around H2 margin improvement appear to have renewed investor interest, pushing the stock higher in Monday’s session.

Outlook

The upbeat Q1FY26 update and full-year growth projections sparked renewed investor confidence, driving a strong stock rebound. Positive volume trends and easing input costs further support sentiment, with the market likely to watch for sustained margin recovery and performance consistency in upcoming quarters.
