Colgate Palmolive India Reports Growth Amid Margin and Investment Concerns
Colgate Palmolive India reported strong Q1FY27 revenue growth of 12% year-on-year, driven by volume, pricing, and premiumization. The company is focusing on expanding rural markets, increasing brand investments, and enhancing product innovation. While Motilal Oswal and Jefferies maintain positive outlooks with target prices up to Rs 2,500, cautious brokerages like Citi and CLSA highlight concerns over higher advertising costs potentially limiting margin expansion. Prabhudas Lilladher expects mid-single-digit volume growth and double-digit profit growth, assigning a Hold rating with a Rs 2,242 target.
