What to watch next
- Q3 FY27 sale of goods growth above the 28% reported for Q2 would mean the rebound is holding and rivals' promotions are not winning share back.
- Commodity and input-cost commentary in the Q3 FY27 results
- Shareholder vote on Mahajan's appointment and any further board changes
- Rival promotional intensity and price-pack changes in hair oils
Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Bajaj Consumer Care is likely to keep advertising and distribution spend elevated through H2 to defend the 28% sales gain.
- Expect Bajaj Consumer Care to seek shareholder approval for Jitendra Ananda Mahajan's appointment and place him on board committees after K. S. Narayanan's exit.
- Rival hair-oil and personal-care makers may answer with promotions and pack-price moves in general trade as Bajaj regains share.
- Bajaj Consumer Care management will probably credit volume and mix on the earnings call and avoid committing to Q2's growth pace for H2.
- Distributors and retailers are likely to stock up if the sales momentum holds into the festive and winter seasons.
