Bajaj Consumer Falls 12% Despite Strong Q1 Earnings

Bajaj Consumer Care shares fell as much as 12.18% on Tuesday, 14 July, touching a day low of Rs 580.00 on the NSE.

The fall came even though the company posted a strong set of June quarter earnings.

This marks the stock’s biggest single day fall since March 2020. Trading volumes surged to 33.8 lakh shares, well above the 20 day average of 4 lakh shares.

The sharp correction follows a stellar run for the stock. Bajaj Consumer has gained nearly 150% so far in 2026 and about 190% over the past year, which appears to have prompted profit booking after the results.

On the earnings itself, revenue rose 25% year on year to Rs 341.6 crore. EBITDA more than doubled to Rs 83.4 crore from Rs 41 crore a year earlier, while net profit rose to Rs 70.7 crore.

Growth was led by the company’s flagship Almond Drops Hair Oil brand. Its domestic business grew in the 30% range during the quarter, while underlying volume growth stayed in the early teens.

Sachets and price point packs continued to outperform the overall brand. The general trade channel also delivered high 20% year on year growth during the quarter.

Even with the strong numbers, investor focus remains on whether this pace of growth can hold. The stock has also been trading at elevated valuations following its long rally.

Coming to the stock price, shares were trading at Rs 590.50 on the NSE at 14:49 pm. That’s down 10.59% from the previous close of Rs 660.45.
