Marico share price saw a dip of nearly 5 per cent during early trading on the BSE on Monday, January 8. This downward trend came in response to the company’s recent business updates for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2023-24 (Q3FY24).
Marico share price opened at ₹534.75 against the previous close of ₹545.80 and dropped 4.6 per cent to the level of ₹520.80. Around 9:35 am, the stock was 4.02 per cent down at ₹523.85.
Post market hours on Friday, January 5, Marico said its domestic volumes grew in low single digits in Q3 on a year-on-year basis with a slight sequential improvement in its core portfolio.
The International business delivered mid-single-digit constant currency growth amidst transient macro headwinds in the Bangladesh market, while the rest of the geographies held strong, the company said in an exchange filing.
Marico’s consolidated revenue declined in the low single digits during the December quarter.
“With a degree of pricing corrections in key domestic portfolios yet to anniversarise and significant currency depreciation in select overseas geographies, consolidated revenue declined in low single digits on a year-on-year basis,” Marico said.
