Godrej Consumer Products released its quarterly business update for Q1 FY26 in July 2025, reporting steady growth momentum across its standalone and global business operations, especially in home and international markets. The company's performance in markets like Africa, USA, and the Middle East stood out, posting strong double-digit value growth and underlying volume growth for the second consecutive quarter.
The company's performance was led by a strong showing in the home care category, which clocked double-digit value growth and underlying volume growth. However, the company's personal care segment grew in single digits, due to the soaps business performing poorly.
The company reiterated its FY26 outlook, aiming for mid to high single-digit underlying volume growth for standalone business, high single-digit consolidated revenue growth, and double-digit consolidated EBITDA growth. For the entirety of FY26, it projects high single-digit revenue growth and double-digit EBITDA growth. At a consolidated level, the FMCG firm projects double-digit rupee growth in its revenue, supported by high-single-digit underlying volume growth.
The company expects a demand revival in the FMCG market over the next 12-18 months, with plans for new product launches and a focus on high-growth categories. The company aims for mid-to-high single-digit volume growth and double-digit EBITDA growth in FY26, supported by easing inflation and strategic acquisitions.
The company focuses on future categories like air fresheners and pet care, emphasizing innovation with successful launches like Godrej Aero and Shampoo Hair Color expanding into global markets. Godrej Consumer Products Limited recently launched its Cinthol foam body washes online, receiving positive feedback.
77.14% of analysts recommend a 'BUY' rating for Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. Nomura maintains a buy rating on Godrej Consumer Products Ltd, raising the target price to ₹1,485, highlighting the company's innovative product launches and expecting strong volume growth in India, with EBITDA projected to rise in double digits for the fiscal year.
The company's strategic focus on innovation, expansion into high-growth categories, and strong international presence positions it well for future growth despite near-term challenges in certain segments like the domestic soaps business.
