Colgate-Palmolive India Q2 net profit rises 4.3%, revenue up 12.3%

Colgate Palmolive reported Rs 1,705.8 crore for Q2FY27, with movement of 4.3% and 12.3% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Against that, the stock is -2.0% on the day at ₹1,685.00, and has returned -20.0% over three months. It sits 27% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The fmcg sector has moved -8.3% over the same period, so Colgate Palmolive is running 11.7 points behind its peers.

For Colgate Palmolive, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the fmcg peer set alongside it.
