Dabur shares Today

At the beginning of today's trading session, Dabur shares plunged as the stocks opened at Rs. 473.95 , 4.3% down from the previous close of Rs. 495.75. The FMCG stock then further fell to the 52-week low of Rs. 458.20. As of 11:30 am, Dabur shares traded at Rs. 465, slipping 6.20%.

Dabur's share price movements have been a cause of concern, as the prices have plummeted massively. In the last five days of trading, Dabur shares slipped 10%. Despite being a household name, Dabur has struggled to maintain stock performance, with its share price dropping 20% in the past six months. So far this year, Dabur shares have lost almost 9% of their value. With a market capitalisation of Rs. 82.41K crore, the shares hit a new 52-week low today.

Dabur's Q4 Performance

On April 2, 2025, Dabur India Ltd. issued a quarterly update, stating that detailed financial results will be disclosed after board approval. While the company did not reveal specific revenue or profit figures in the update, investor sentiment turned negative due to uncertainty surrounding the earnings report.

The company in its report stated that, "due to delayed and truncated winter and slowdown in the urban market, India's FMCG business is likely to decline in the mid-single digits. As a result, Dabur's consolidated revenue is expected to be flat during Q4 FY25."

The announcement comes at a time when FMCG stocks are facing pressure from rising input costs and fluctuating rural demand. However, Dabur's India Business, which comprises brands like 'homemade' and 'Badshah', is expected to perform well along with the company's international business in key markets such as MENA, Egypt, and Bangladesh, which are likely to report double-digit growth in Q4 FY25.

Dabur India Final Dividend Announcement

The company also informed that they will consider and finalise the dividend in the board meeting along with the quarterly results.
"'Pursuant to the provisions of Regulations 29 and 50 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, we wish to inform you that a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 7th May 2025, to inter alia, consider and approve the audited financial results of the Company for the quarter/financial year ending on 31st March 2025 and to consider the recommendation of a final dividend, if any, for the financial year ending on 31st March 2025." Dabur India Ltd said in an exchange filing.
