thebalanced.newsQ4 Financial Results: Colgate-Palmolive, Indigo Paints, and India Pesticides Report Mixed Earnings
Colgate-Palmolive India reported a marginal 0.47% decline in Q4 FY26 net profit to Rs 353 crore, despite a 9% rise in revenue, with higher expenses and GST-related charges impacting margins. Indigo Paints posted a 1.35% increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 57.66 crore, supported by strong sales and stable gross margins amid supply disruptions. India Pesticides saw a 43.7% jump in Q4 net profit to Rs 31.04 crore, driven by higher demand and operational efficiency. Brokerages expect Colgate's growth to improve in FY27 with volume recovery and easing cost pressures.
