Marico share price: Consumer goods major Marico Ltd's shares were trading in the positive territory after the company, in its fourth quarter business update, said that the sector experienced stable demand amid an improving trajectory in rural and mixed trends in mass and premium urban segments.

The stock rose as much as 0.92% to ₹662.5 per share on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). At 1:53 pm, it was up 0.11% to ₹657.2 apiece.

In an exchange filing, the company said its India business reported a sequential uptick in underlying volume growth with rising market shares across key franchises.

"Parachute Coconut Oil witnessed transient sluggishness in volumes due to titration in consumption amidst the steep rise in consumer pricing and impact of ml-age reduction in certain packs," it said.

Saffola Oils posted a revenue growth in the twenties due to pricing interventions implemented during the year. Value-added hair oils showed gradual advancement on a sequential basis. Foods and premium personal care continued robust momentum.

"The International business delivered mid-teen constant currency growth driven by broad-based growth across most markets. Bangladesh continued to demonstrate strong resilience with double-digit constant currency growth. MENA and South Africa continued their robust double digit growth momentum," Marico said.

On a year-on-year basis, consolidated revenue growth climbed to the high teens, as steady growth across key segments was backed by incremental pricing interventions in the domestic business. On a full-year basis, the consolidated business posted low double-digit revenue growth.

"We expect to maintain the double-digit revenue growth momentum in FY26," the company said.

In the third quarter of the financial year 2024-25, Marico posted a 4.2% surge in consolidated net profit to ₹399 crore, compared to ₹383 crore in the year-ago period.

Revenue from operations stood at ₹2,794 crore in Q3 FY25, as against ₹2,422 crore in the corresponding period last fiscal. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) ascended 4% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹533 crore.
