HUL Preview: Urban Slowdown to Impact Q3 Numbers
A slowdown in urban demand will likely impact Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL)s revenue in Q3 FY25. Revenue is expected to grow by 3 per cent to ₹16,050 crore in the quarter ended on December 31. According to analysts, the rural market performed better than urban areas during the quarter, single-digit volume growth was witnessed with price increases taken in soaps and tea categories. Gross margins are expected at 49.5 per cent as compared to 50.6 per cent Y-o-Y, competition across categories to weigh on demand. Higher royalty rates and termination of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)s consumer distribution could impact margins, according to HDFC Securities. The FMCG market leader will report its results on January 22. Earlier, the company reported a 2 per cent decrease in consolidated net profit to ₹2,595 crore for the quarter that ended in September, as opposed to ₹2,657 crore reported last year. The home care category grew to ₹5,731 crore, personal care dipped to ₹2,411 crore, beauty and wellbeing grew to ₹3,4211 crore, while food and refreshment dropped ₹3,803 crore. Revenue could grow 3 per cent year-on-year, with volume growth of 1 per cent driven by price increases in the tea and soap category, said Axis Securities.21 Jan, 2025 04:37 PMHindustan Unilever Q3 Preview: Earnings Growth Impacted by Urban Demand
Earnings estimates of analysts polled by Moneycontrol are in a narrow range, so any positive or negative surprises may elicit a sharp reaction in the stock. Indias largest consumer staples firm--Hindustan Unilever is set to report its earnings for the third quarter of the current fiscal year on January 22. The heatwave, price cuts and stable commodity prices are expected to result in the FMCG giant seeing flat earnings. According to a Moneycontrol poll of nine brokerages, Hindustan Unilever is likely to report revenue growth in low single-digits, higher by 4.7 percent on-year, at Rs 15,627 crore. Net profit is likely to come in at Rs 2,587 crore, up from Rs 2,541 crore from the corresponding quarter last year. Earnings estimates of analysts polled by Moneycontrol are in a narrow range, so any positive or negative surprises may elicit a sharp reaction in the stock. The most optimistic estimate sees HULs net profit jumping 6.7 percent on-year, but the most pessimistic projection suggests that net profit might sink. Hindustan Unilevers revenue is likely to remain flat on account of subdued performance across categories, as urban demand sees significant stress. The overall demand for HUL will be muted, with underlying volume growth coming at around one percent, according to brokerages. The low volume growth comes as the domestic demand setting remained largely muted, affected by the sustained demand slump in urban markets. HULs home care is likely to grow at 2.5 percent, leading growth while beauty and personal care revenues are also likely to rise by around two percent. Food portfolio performance is expected to be stable. However, the continued weakness in the food drink portfolio could drag overall food & refreshment performance, said Antique Stock Broking. Higher raw material costs are likely to weigh on margins. Prices of key inputs have seen an uptick in the last six months. Companies are gradually taking price hikes in the portfolio, which will not be enough to cover inflation in the input prices, noted a Sharekhan report. Analysts will closely monitor demand in metro areas and tier-3 towns. They will also pay attention to raw material prices and their effect on EBITDA margins, as well as the growing competitive pressure from unorganized players. The near-term outlook remains an important factor to watch, given the inflationary stress (particularly in foods and soaps portfolio) and demand slump.21 Jan, 2025 02:11 PMFMCG Sector Outlook: Mixed Trends in Q3FY25
