Dabur India has kicked off FY27 with a strong quarter, delivering double-digit growth in both revenue and profit. The company's profit after tax grew faster than sales, reflecting a meaningful improvement in profitability.

This performance was driven by a significant expansion in net profit margin, which improved by 70 basis points to reach 15.6%.

This quarterly performance lifts the trailing-twelve-month (TTM) net profit margin to 14.4%. The company maintains a solid balance sheet, with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.09 and a healthy return on equity of 17.0%.
Despite the positive earnings momentum, the stock has faced headwinds, declining 21.1% over the past year. This has left Dabur trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 38.4, which is at an 18% discount to its industry peers. The company's ability to sustain its margin gains will be key to reversing the recent share price trend.
