Godrej Consumer Aims for Earnings Revival
Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) is trying to improve its earnings after a slow period.
Experts think the company will grow faster in the next few years, with higher sales and profits.
The company is focusing on growing in areas like haircare and household insecticides, and it's trying to improve its performance in Indonesia.
It's also adding new products like face wash and toilet cleaners to reduce its dependence on soap sales.
However, the company faces challenges like competition and margin pressure, and its stock has not performed well recently.
The company aims to increase its profits and sales, but it needs many things to go right for this to happen.
GCPL expects high single-digit revenue growth in FY26 and double-digit in FY27.
Earnings per share are projected to grow 22.6% in FY26 and 19.9% in FY27.
India volume growth was 5% YoY in FY25, with a target of 7-8% in FY26.
International operations, particularly in Indonesia, need improvement to avoid dragging down overall earnings.
Margin recovery is crucial, with Ebitda margin projected to revive to the 24-26% range by H2 FY26.
