Varun Beverages Q2 Profit Up, Revenue Down Amidst Unseasonal Rains
Varun Beverages, which makes and sells PepsiCo drinks, made more profit in the last three months even though it sold a little less overall.
This is because they managed their money well.
The amount of drinks they sold went down in India because it rained a lot, but they sold more drinks in other countries.
Experts in the stock market still think the company will do well.
The company is also giving some money back to its shareholders and has appointed a new financial leader.
Varun Beverages' Q2 profit increased by 5% to ₹1,325.4 crore, driven by efficiencies.
Revenue decreased by 2.32% to ₹7,163.02 crore due to unseasonal rains impacting sales volume.
Consolidated sales volume declined by 3%, with India volumes down 7.1%.
Brokerages like CLSA and Jefferies maintained positive ratings with target prices.
The company approved a second interim dividend of ₹0.50 per share and appointed a new CFO.
