Hatsun Agro Product Ltd (HATSUN) has announced its financial results for Q2 FY27, showcasing a robust performance with a 19.36% revenue growth. The company recorded revenue from operations of ₹2,897.64 crore, up from ₹2,427.59 crore in Q2 FY26. Profit after tax (PAT) stood at ₹115.69 crore compared to ₹109.54 crore in the same period last year.

Sustained Growth Momentum

The growth was driven by sustained consumer demand across all core categories, enhanced processing capacity, and resilient direct procurement from HAP’s expanding farmer network. Despite the challenging environment faced by the dairy industry, including geopolitical uncertainties, El Niño-related factors, and inflation in agricultural input costs, Hatsun Agro Product Ltd has continued to stand out in the industry with stronger EBITDA margins.

Market Expansion and Operational Efficiency

Over the past six months, the company has sold 288 crore consumer packs, averaging approximately 1.58 crore packs every single day. The focus remains on reaching consumers directly through their brands rather than relying on wholesale or bulk sales, enabling stronger consumer connections and sustainable growth. As the company strengthens its presence in existing markets and expands into newer markets such as Maharashtra and Odisha, it continues to invest in procurement, processing, and distribution capabilities.

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Hatsun Agro Product Limited

Hatsun Agro Product Limited belongs to the Consumer Defensive › Packaged Foods sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.

Hatsun posts a 25.3% three-month gain, but softens in the last few weeks. D/E of 1.50 is elevated. As a result, debt servicing will compress free cash flow in a high-rate environment. Razor-thin margins below 5% make profitability extremely vulnerable — this business needs scale or pricing power urgently. The stock gives back 4.3% in the last month despite a positive three-month run. As a result, the earlier momentum appears to be fading. The business grows revenue at 11.2% and profits at 29.0%, with D/E of 1.50. The stock reflects that strength. Moreover, when fundamentals and price action align, the PEG of 2.52 premium is usually justified. Check Fundamentals of Hatsun Agro Product Limited.

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Colgate Palmolive (India) Limited

Colgate Palmolive (India) Limited belongs to the Consumer Defensive › Household & Personal Products sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.

Colgate falls 13.3% over three months and has not found a floor yet. The PEG stands at 4.35 — severely stretched. Any earnings miss could trigger a sharp de-rating. Margins at 21.7% are impressive but need to be sustained — any compression would be a red flag. The stock sits at 9% of its 52-week range, close to annual lows. Historically, value investors build positions at these levels — though cheap stocks can stay cheap. Revenue grows at 4.9% and the stock moves sideways over three months. Neither side makes a strong case. The next earnings print will likely break this stock out of its current range. Check Fundamentals of Colgate Palmolive (India) Limited.

Commenting on the occasion, Amit Bhasin, Chief Legal Officer, Group General Counsel and Secretary, CSR Committee of Marico Limited, said, “Climate action is an integral part of our business strategy and long-term growth agenda. Building a future-ready organisation requires sustainability to be embedded across operations, supply chains and decision-making processes.”
