Nirmal Bang Report

Emami Ltd.’s results were weaker than expectations on volumes, Ebitda, and profit before tax level as the GST-led disruption delayed winter loading, and weak sales in talc/PHP due to rains caused an ~10% sales decline, consequently impacting margins as well because of operating deleverage.

Winter loading in Q3 FY26, restocking post GST, and likely good winter season could lead to high-single digit or double digit sales growth in Q3 FY26 as per the management; we are expecting 11% sales growth. 

Nevertheless, we do not see any material outperformance over the next two years compared to the mid-single digit sales CAGR trajectory over the past 10 years.

We maintain our Hold rating on the stock.
