  • Q2 Performance: Marico’s Q2 results were in line with the pre-quarterly update, showing improvement in demand. The company has not been significantly impacted by urban market weakness due to its focus on premium and mass segments.
  • Price Hikes: Marico has implemented notable price increases, with Parachute witnessing a 10% hike and Saffola Oils a 15% hike from H2 FY25. These hikes are expected to boost growth with minimal volume impact.
  • Product Segments: The foods, premium personal care, and digital brands divisions continue to demonstrate a healthy growth trajectory, reflecting strong consumer demand.
  • VAHO Segment: Despite a weak quarter for VAHO (Value Added Hair Oils), Nomura notes that the segment may have reached a bottom, with potential for recovery.

Nomura’s target reflects optimism around Marico’s growth potential, driven by strategic price adjustments and resilience across key product categories.
