Jyothy Labs Q4 results: Profit margins are stable, but profits fell 2.4% to Rs 76 crore; dividends announced
Despite the bottom line, the company maintained operational resilience and announced dividends, reflecting confidence in cash flows and business continuity.
Despite the headwind, revenue performance is stable
The company's combined revenue in Q4FY25 has not been disclosed in detail, but analysts noted that sales in key categories remained stable.
In the last quarter (third quarter) (quarter 3), Jyothy Labs had revenue of Rs 6.43 crore, with double-digit growth driven by strong appeal from key brands such as Ujala and Maxo. By contrast, pickups were slower in the fourth quarter, especially in the rural section, resulting in pressure on the edge and bottom line.
EBITDA and margin elasticity
Jyothy Labs continues to manage input cost inflation with caution. Although EBITDA figures are not disclosed in the current document, analysts believe cost control measures can help maintain healthy operating margins.
In the third quarter, the company had an EBITDA margin of 16.5%, the highest among mid-sized FMCG players.
Dividends are announced despite soft profits
In a move reflecting consistency of its stable balance sheet and consistent cash flows, the Jyothy Labs board announced its final dividend for the 25th fiscal year. The exact dividend amount has not been disclosed.
This is in line with the company's policy, even if shareholders are rewarded in softer quarters and sends a positive signal to long-term investors.
Stock Outlook: What should investors do?
Over the past year, Jyothy Labs' stock has outperformed its peers in the FMCG space and is backed by margin stability and cost optimization. Analysts tracking counters show that if rural demand recovers and input prices remain benign, then loss of gains may fall off.
With advanced strategies and rural driving force intact, brokerage firms maintain the “accumulation” rating of stocks and have near-term upward potential, waiting for greater clarity to the Q1 Q1 FY26 comments.
