Marico expects revenue to grow in early twenties; check all Q1 business updates

Marico shares will be on investors’ radar as the FMCG firm on Thursday, July 2, said its consolidated revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27), is expected to grow in the early twenties, driven by robust broad-based performance across core, digital and international businesses.

The homegrown FMCG company in a regulatory filing said the demand trends during the quarter remained steady, supported by resilient economic activity. “Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about consumption trends, while closely monitoring the evolving inflationary conditions and the impact of El Niño on the monsoon,” it added.

Overall, Marico expects a strong operating profit growth driven by robust business growth and softening in copra prices. The company said its India business further accelerated its growth trajectory, delivering double-digit underlying volume growth and reaching a multi-quarter high.

Among key inputs, the cost of crude-linked derivatives and vegetable oils rose sharply during the quarter, Marico said. Copra prices have corrected meaningfully, down ~45% from peak levels, although they remain above historical averages. Consequently, Marico expects gross margin to improve sequentially.

The company said its ASP investments accelerated substantially as it invested in brand-building initiatives to strengthen the long-term equity of our franchises and drive portfolio diversification.

The international business continued its strong growth momentum with mid-teens constant currency growth led by outperformance in Vietnam and MENA alongside positive contributions from all other markets.

Bangladesh experienced a transient moderation in growth due to price anniversarization and marginal demand softness amidst elevated inflation.

“The solid start to the year underscores strategic clarity, strength of our business model and execution rigor-reaffirming our confidence to achieve our full year aspirations,” Marico said.

The company said it aims to deliver sustainable and profitable volume-led growth over the medium term, driven by stronger brand equity in its core franchises and the scaling up of new growth engines across markets.
