HUL Q4 Profit Rises 20% to Rs 3,002 Crore: Declares Dividend

Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) reported a strong financial performance for the March quarter of FY26, with net profit rising 20 percent to ₹3,002 crore. The company’s steady growth was supported by improving consumer demand, higher sales across categories, and stronger rural market performance.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, HUL posted consolidated revenue of about ₹16,207 crore, marking an increase of nearly 8 percent compared to the same period last year. The company benefited from healthy demand in segments such as foods, beverages, personal care, and home care products.

The company also recorded growth in operating performance, with EBITDA reaching around ₹3,841 crore. While margins saw a slight dip due to higher raw material costs and currency-related pressures, HUL managed to maintain profitability through pricing strategies and operational efficiency.

Volume growth stood at 6 percent during the quarter, reflecting stronger consumer purchases and improving market sentiment. Analysts noted that the company performed better than expected, especially in rural market regions where demand recovery has been gradually improving.

For the full FY26 financial year, HUL reported consolidated turnover of ₹63,763 crore, showing a 5 percent increase from the previous year. The company maintained stable annual profitability despite facing inflationary pressure and fluctuations in commodity prices.

Commenting on the quarterly performance, HUL leadership highlighted that stronger execution, product demand, and market expansion contributed to the results.

Looking ahead, HUL expects demand trends to remain stable, though it continues to monitor commodity prices, global uncertainty, and changing consumer spending patterns.
