HUL sales hit ₹17,341 crore in Q1, but profit and volume growth missed expectations
Hindustan Unilever reported 10% year-on-year revenue growth, while net profit fell 3% and underlying volume growth slowed to 5%. Price hikes in palm-oil-exposed categories pressured demand, with Personal Care remaining weak despite double-digit Home Care growth.
HUL posted 10% Q1 revenue growth but missed expectations as volume growth slowed to 5%, net profit fell 3% and margins narrowed. Price hikes, including in palm-oil-exposed categories, weighed on demand; Personal Care remained weak while Home Care grew double digits.
Why this matters
The earlier HUL Q1FY27 results watch flagged demand, volumes and margins; reported 5% volume growth and a 3% profit decline confirm those pressure points.
